eDrum-to-Software Dynamics using Toontrack Superior Drummer

Just a quick demo of the dynamics and zones of my eDrum kit triggering Toontrack Superior Drummer 2.0.

If you want to see the video in the highest quality audio, use this link instead (it is higher quality audio than clicking the "watch in high quality" link):

And for those of you with Superior Drummer 2.0 and Roland kits, here is the S2.0 Project file you can download:

http://www.rockdebris.com/video/edrumdynamics/edrumdynamicsvideo.zip

That should be helpful if you want to learn how I mapped my Roland HiHat, cymbal chokes, etc. Note that, since I use both a TD-10 and TMC-6, some of the drums aren't mapped for a standard module ... though it should be a simple matter to remap the sound in S2.0 for your own kit.

Hello Rock Debris. Great video man!

I know would be a pain in the ass, but could you put the model of each part of your kit in the description of the vid?

Roland nomenclature sometimes makes things harder... how you connected TMC6 and TD10 module in PC at the same time?

Thx A LOT for the video and congratulations for the killer drum solution/ sound!

[RockDebris]

@ThyMiguez: It is basically a Roland V-Pro kit from several years back. I connected the TMC6 through the TD-10 (you can serialize MIDI-DIN connections like that).

I'm curious, howcome you didn't put the tom pads in order of size? To me, that'd feel way more natural coming from an acoustic kit...

[RockDebris]

@TheAbsorbant : I like having the larger shells used for a traditional 4-piece configuration as those are the pieces I use more than any else. The only shell that might seem out of place to another drummer is the smaller 2nd floor tom, but I haven't had any problem with it.

Hi RockDebris, got a question;

in Superior Drummer 2.0 do they provide samples of each of the crashes when they are not crashed on the edge but ridden on the body? Also, do they give samples of the bell of the crashes?

Thanks for your time

[RockDebris]

@cussy182: That is mostly a question of the library that is being loaded. In the default SD2.0 library (called N.Y. Avatar), they only provide a single crash zone, which sounds like and edge hit at the higher velocities.

Very nice! Thanks for the insight! Question: Do you also have the tdw1 expansion or can this also be achieved without this expansion?

Thanks!

whats a thsnare?

[pesteroja]

Hey man what do you exactly use? ´cause I downloaded SD 2.0 and when

I play a long is kind of slow. I use a roland TD3 drumkit

with a Mac Brook Pro but what else shall I use? do I gotta use an

interface?

[AlainHubert]

Thanks for a great demo!

[xmanightx]

great demonstration of zones and dynamics.

i cannot find an actual roland td-10 and tmc-6 model. Wich would be an actual equivalent? TD9KX?

Does superior recognize different zones on single pad/cymbal by himself?

very impressive btw

[mysticradio]

this seems to sound better than any hardware module........... to my ears hardware sounds fake...........
