Dude, clear and concise teaching right here. I've watched tons of videos on music recording/production and you destroy everyone else in a fraction of the time.
I started listening to you without looking ar you first. But man, when I looked... What an ABSOLUTE fockin UNIT. Can you share your training/eating routine?
You're very good at teaching others, hats off. I hope you're getting monetary compensation somehow from your videos. I've played drums for years & fool around with samples & triggering quite a bit. I've seen people trigger samples live & not once has any of them come close to my 26" kick drum. I like the humanization you mentioned because on a live instrument, the player has a lot to do with the quality of the sound. I am going to look into using this for writing since my man cave doesn't have room for my big ass kit. I could use this to write my tunes and forward the band a copy of my home stuff. Thanks for the how to & info man.
you have a ring in your room around 135hz that's pretty pronounced. It'll greatly improve your ability to discern what's happening down there if you take care of it (even though you're getting great results, it makes it even easier and faster to sort out the bottom, especially where most of your punch for snare, kick and bass are...). Great video!
wish I had this tutorial when I first got into working with drum samples. you explained in under 10 minutes what took me months to frustratingly piece together, and I also learned a lot this time round. thanks for the great vid! I am def subscribing 🤘
A less expensive way is to layer preset drums in whatever software (if it even has any drum kit presets) and spread apart each drum into separate tracks (I.E make cymbals, toms, and so on) so you have more versatile way to eq the drums.
Hey, thanks so much for putting these links up. I downloaded these drum samples to stack onto my drums and my production quality just went way up in my recordings!
Man, you rock so fcking much! That's exactly the sound I was looking for, experiments in SD and Addictive drums wasn't THIS good for modern metal. And the fact that you can blend everything so easily and yet advanced is truly outstanding. I understand that there's very much depends from the sound engineering skill but I found those drums and your way of produce more reliable for me. Thank you so much!
I love how GREAT of a knack you have for teaching so much in so little. Like the drum midi humanization tips. You do this in pretty much every of your tutorials I've seen. And effectively, no beating around the bush BS. Wanted to tell you that I appreciate this a lot. Very hard to find CZcamsrs good at doing that. Also, some of us can't afford Perfect Drums at the moment and only have the Player version installed. If I understand correctly, you can save custom sample kits as a file that anyone else can load (but not modify). Any chance you can update that Scourge kit with that? If not that's fine, I was trying to figure out FPC anyway :b
PDs does sound quite excellent - the snares are the best anywhere!! The only problem for what I use would be the kicks. That cushy click transients are not happening for what I go for and of course that envelope is embedded in the sample so it's futile to try to get shed of it. For that I used Drumforge or perhaps SSD in some instances.
Awesome video! Thanks for explaining how to separate the PD channels into separate channels in Cubase! Now I can add more eq and compression if needed for my drum sub mixes!
Ive seen many videos for making drums, from heavy compressed EDM to rock and metal drum videos.. this is the best ive seen, your explanations for alot of concepts like velocity, phasing, are extraordinarily thourough yet consise. I wish i would have found this video years ago. Would have taken me to the next level alot sooner. Cheers dude!
You don't have to have paid software. You can do all of this with Free software. VST's like Red Zepplin or Black Pearl, or you can use software Drum Machines with drum kits like Hydrogen.
The sampler doesn't work...? I load in the Inferno Kick,, route the MAIN Midi to C1, yet I only hear the default Kick. Why can't I hear the Inferno Kick that I loaded in? :(
Drum programming seems like such a great tool to write your own tunes as a guitar player. But damn, it seems like it would take hours a day for a week to write one 4 minute song that doesn't sound super mechanical. Good on you for making these videos.
I was trying to be "programming" drums, like in this video, for years, but i grew so frustrated that i bought a practice pad last week and started learning to play drums irl.
Nice video. Though I'm all for using sample based drums, the biggest challenge is nature dynamic variation which is extremely difficult to emulate. The human touch is unique and hard to emulate.
I’m a drummer,yeah it’s the hardest thing to get a drummer recorded with twenty mics,guitar recording is nice and simple.I wish I went the easy way and was a guitarist,us drummers,first muso in,last muso out.
i was lost with the whole sub groups when you pulled up the VST instruments. i know how to do the whole VST instruments and renaming each tracks, but the whole sub group i was completely lost. can you please explain this as in kindergarten terms were i can understand it. the video was too fast for me to look at as i'am trying to learn this. love cubase.
Thank you for the samples. When I try to play a drum in Cakewalk something crashes. Im not sure why I didnt have problems with PD drummer before, but now some hardware upgraded.
dude... i watched the entire video but tbh i didnt remember a thing you said. youre so damn jacked....holy fuck. you legit gotta be a model or something
Wow. I'm so grateful for this video sir. Just to be clear, I have the perfect drum player but the most part of the interface is inactive. I load a kit but it does not give out any sound. Could it be a routing problem. I'll anticipate ur reply sir. Thanks a million
Hello Mr. Zachary Spence, I just subscribed to this channel and I am going to connect to all your other media outlets. I just want to thank you for the excellent work you have done here. The resources and links are fantastic. I have been searching for a long time for good sounding rock\metal drum samples with balls that sound good. I am so sick of the shit ass TR707 tin can "Mario brothers" drum machine sounds. They served their purpose but for rock\metal it just don't cut it! The best thing you have to offer here are some great tutorials on how to use the samples once you find them. You definitely have a future in instructional writing and video composition. I am just getting started here and discovering lots of cool shit! I am an old fart but I just cant get enough of War Pigs! Thanks man keep up the good work, good attitude and good info.
Thanks for your comment Ernest, I try to read them all but this one was especially uplifting. Thought you should know and best of luck with your own productions. Cheers
Hello. Thanks for the lesson! Links to sample packs Linda Ronstatd Snare and Scorge120 MegaDrumPak do not work. I would really appreciate it if you would update them, because I searched the entire Internet and couldn't find them.
Jamster depends on the person, to me, playing drumms is easier and i enjoy a lot more doing it, because it's just about sitting in front of the kit and let the creativity flow. It just feels boring when i sit in front of a pc and have to put every single beat just by clicking on the mouse button( what i think that takes out all the emotion in the creative process of a song), instead of just instantly play whatever comes through your mind and record it. But like i said, it depends on the person. Hope you Have a good day, good night, good morning, good afternoon, or whenever you're reading this xD PD: sorry if i made a spelling mistake, the english is not my mother language. PD2: also sorry for the long answer xD
Great Job man. Great tips, I'm a fan! I can't stand the haters around here though. Just too much. So I laid into a couple of them. Sorry!! Keep at it! Banger drums fo sho!!
Pretty much every tutorial on using DAWs and plugins I come across (not with the algorithm) is done by a Canadian. I always find that out when they say "out".
Dude, clear and concise teaching right here. I've watched tons of videos on music recording/production and you destroy everyone else in a fraction of the time.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Dude, I can't sleep.....because I can't stop LEARNING from your videos.
never skip head day
LMAO I was thinking similar!
i was gonna ... xDD great vid btw
What do you do on head day?
I got the same problem some people aren’t meant to be big
When you get so swol. Your head shrinks. Haha.
You dude just saved me from a rut of starting to blend dnb samples with metal drums. Thank you kind sir.
that's like some Zardonic type-thing!
Had never heard of him before. Thanks for further accidental inspiration man!
Wow! You know who is Zardonic! Is great because he is from my country, and and he and you: rock!
how did that go,sounds great metaljunglist dnb!
bro I just realized your'e the "how to get a killer metal guitar tone" guy
your'e next level man, thanks for close to 10 years of metal DAW tips
Cheers Aaron, thank you!
Clear video, clear instructions, quality material and you don't have an annoying voice lol. Subbed
It is apparent that you are one of the best mixing tutorials creators out there. Thanks you Zachary.
you have excellent communication skills and are a good teacher..
I started listening to you without looking ar you first. But man, when I looked...
What an ABSOLUTE fockin UNIT.
Can you share your training/eating routine?
Eat lots of protein, train heavy compound lifts several times a week, listen to heavy metal. Repeat for 4+ years.
@@Scorge120 - Listen to Heavy Metal. Got it!
Throw some 2:29 in there as often as you can.
Very helpful for getting started, great pacing not overly complicated or boring..
Keep them coming..

I use this program and I love it. I make AoR music and this fits it perfectly. Thanx for the lesson. I learned a couple of good stuff.
Hey, thanks so much for putting these links up. I downloaded these drum samples to stack onto my drums and my production quality just went way up in my recordings!
hey do you happen to have the files? the bottom 3 links no longer work

Thanks! This has been requested and I'm considering it as a next video in the near future.
I was not prepared for how good this video was going to be. Great job man. Amazing presentation of information
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words.
Thorough and concise, especially the phase explanation... Great vid once again!
Very nice - I will test.
PDs does sound quite excellent - the snares are the best anywhere!! The only problem for what I use would be the kicks.

Thanks for the Saudade samples! It has the exact snare samples I need!
i like drum samples and programming it and the plug ins... that's why im gonna sample my kits and adding drums from my computer with acoustic drum
Awesome video,Keep it up!
Awesome video! Thanks for explaining how to separate the PD channels into separate channels in Cubase! Now I can add more eq and compression if needed for my drum sub mixes!
I want to play drums again after I watched this video. Holy moly! Very well done

I wish i would have found this video years ago. Would have taken me to the next level alot sooner. Cheers dude!
Straight and useful info, without any bla-bla-bla! Respect!
5:50 gave me a good scare while i were listening to this at night
It sounds like the beginning of the video that kills you in 7 days in the movie "The Ring." :)
You don't have to have paid software. You can do all of this with Free software. VST's like Red Zepplin or Black Pearl, or you can use software Drum Machines with drum kits like Hydrogen.
Good video. It's 2020 now and I'm hoping you've sorted out that room resonance by now. Cheers.
It was brutal! I just moved my studio out of that room haha
I simply use modo drum, works like magic, bought it on discount with modo bass, great deal
Your shirt is lavender , thats about all I got.
Yes, I can confirm
Thanks for the links to the libraries... I already had Perfect Drums and this really added that extra "pop" I was looking for.
You are the MAN. Thanks for the video and links, definitely liked, and subscribed.
woo dude.. this video is very good .. ur a teacher.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Very useful
Best regards

LOOOOOOOLL! The struggle is real buddy XD
Excellent video! Best explaining video about metal drums in Cubase i´ve seen in all youtube, thanks a lot!
ZAAACH, THIS ACTUALLY SOUNDS SO GOOOD
thanks bro! -- it's all PD haha
nice to see the Equators on your desk :)
Thank you! An actual channel that explains something!
Vitaly ?
yes!
That's what I was thinking lol
Lol you read my mind 😂 good vid though.

Good information here for any kit you use.
This is an excellent video, great job and thank you.
Very Good tutorial, thanks for sharing the info clearly and precisely.
i was lost with the whole sub groups when you pulled up the VST instruments. i know how to do the whole VST instruments and renaming each tracks, but the whole sub group i was completely lost. can you please explain this as in kindergarten terms were i can understand it. the video was too fast for me to look at as i'am trying to learn this. love cubase.
The link to the Linda Ronstatd Snare is broken. Can you reupload it? Or does anyone have it?
So helpful!
lightweight, free and customizable, INSTALLED.
Could you please send me the Linda Ronstatd Snare link again? The link isn't working.
This is the best vid I've ever seen
Hey man where is your bass mixing tutorial?? Really digging your stuff!
Weird, but when I download the Kit 2, it doesn't sound that good. And the link Linda Ronstatd Snare: is empty
This is just great! looking forward for more of these
Your videos are very helpful. Thanks man
Wow! Awesome! Thanks for share!!!
Another great vid, very informative as usual, also looking HUGE dood
Bit late to the party but i learned alot and thanks for not making 50 min video to explain all this.
Thank you for the samples. When I try to play a drum in Cakewalk something crashes. Im not sure why I didnt have problems with PD drummer before, but now some hardware upgraded.

Can you upload the snare samples
How does this compare to my Superior drummer??? Never heard of this AU..
Awesome tips and amazing drum sound! Subbed!
Hello. Thanks for the lesson! Links to sample packs Linda Ronstatd Snare and Scorge120 MegaDrumPak do not work. I would really appreciate it if you would update them, because I searched the entire Internet and couldn't find them.
nice video but i like if you record a session, in live or same format for see all setup of plugins and fx. Greetings bro! Excellent video :)
Hey Bro, the link for 120megadrumpack google drive is down, can you reupload it???
the program works great
Are those Saudade samples in the mega link free to use in my own music?
Hi colleague,
thanks for the nice video
but a link to the SCORGE 120 megadrumpak,
not working=it shows
that the page does not exist..
Where can I get this snare sample?
Mate, these drums sound fockin savage
Nice explanation. You're doing well, bro. Congrats.
Can you do a similar tutorial for Superior drummer?
seems easier to learn the drums =P

Julian Flores exactly my thoughts
@@Jif8372 no doubt its hard
It's not, lol.
yes of course after one mounth you ll able to do very technical stuff...for sure :-)
Stellar video pal! nice work!
Is there any good free drum vst to use I don’t have the money for perfect drums rn
I wonder if noise-based drum synths could be made to sound good in an acoustic sense. I like their phase variation which samples do not have.
Should I also get swole?
hey do you happen to have the files? the bottom 3 links no longer work
Great Job man. Great tips, I'm a fan! I can't stand the haters around here though. Just too much. So I laid into a couple of them. Sorry!! Keep at it! Banger drums fo sho!!
why does he only heart and reply to comments that compliment the video? i haven't seen any support for everyone asking for help
I want your snare sounds
You just earned a new subscriber! Keep up the good work!
Pretty much every tutorial on using DAWs and plugins I come across (not with the algorithm) is done by a Canadian. I always find that out when they say "out".
Can i use Ezdrummer as a sampler for all the libraries given above..??
I downloaded it and there is no Import button in PerfectDrums kit.
what is the name of the band at the begin on the video please ?
thanks brow!awesome samples
