THE SAMPLES
At the heart of any drum library are the actual samples themselves. Steven
Slate has been called the MASTER of drum sounds. In the early 2000's his
original drum sample disc was in high demand amongst many top Hollywood
producers and mixers. By 2006, when he publicly released his first official
drum sample disc, his sounds could already be heard in many top billboard
hits. Today, the airwaves are filled with Steven's samples, as they are
used by top industry mixers such as Mike Shipley, Chris Lord Alge, Ben
Grosse, Jeff Juliano, Jay Baumgardner, Dave Way, and many more!
Steven has recorded only the best drums, all tuned to perfection. Every
drum and cymbal has been recorded first to 2inch tape, enhancing their
unique rich sound. Every drum and cymbal was recorded with multiple
velocities and multiple hits per velocity to ensure the most natural
recreation. Then the samples were transferred to digital via high end
A/D converters at 24 bit/ 44.1khz.
The samples were then processed by Steven Slate using some of the most
classic analog gear from both past and present. The result are drums
that sound like you've always dreamed of, with punchy transients and
smooth decays. By listening to the audio demos on the homepage, its
easy to hear why many pros call Steven's samples the very best sounding
digital drums available.
SSD VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT
The SSD Virtual Instrument, powered by Kontakt Player3, is a standalone
or RTAS-VST-AU plugin that is easy to use and integrate into your DAW.
The SSD instrument has keyboard mappings and a universal mapping for
all Roland Vdrums.
New in SSD 3.5 is Yellow Matter's new Advanced AMG anti machine gun
mode. Advanced AMG is a physically modeled system that makes the drum
samples place with extreme response and realism.
MODELED KITS
While you'll probably find many of the drumkits on Steven Slate Drums
are reminscent of drumkits you've heard from various bands over the
years, thirteen kits have been authentically modeled for a sound so
close, you'll think it is the real thing! Platinum contains all modeled
kits, including drumkits modeled after Led Zeppelin, Steely Dan, Motley
Crue, Metallica, Greenday, Deftones, AC/DC, Foo Fighters, Pantera,
Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Dream Theater. Keep in mind, these
drumkits model the finalized mixed sounds that you have become familiar
with, not just raw recordings of the drummer's kits. Check out the
audio demos on the homepage!
ROOM MICS
The Steven Slate Drums collection contains two unique sounding sets of
room mics. The first set is from a large warehouse with concrete walls.
These room mics were processed with heavy doses of compression, eq,
and even modulation to make a larger then life, deep, wide, expressive
room sound.
The drums were then sampled in the famous NRG Recording STUDIO A, known
for being one of the top drum rooms in Los Angeles. Its been home to
bands like Linkin Park, Foo Fighters, Billy Joel, and more. These room
mics have been left unprocessed and contain the signature depth and
space from this beautiful sounding room.
MIX AND MATCH
With the Steven Slate Drums virtual drum instrument, you can layer
various drums to create amazing new sounds. For SSD Platinum, there
are over a dozen "hybrid" presets which show how unique this layering
technique can sound.
