Hey Spectacle and anyone else listening..
To clear some things up:
We have 10 kick sample sets, some with various gear chains as well, ranging from smacky to clicky rock and metal, to boomy thuddy pop and vintagey stuff. As you said, we have 14 unique snares, some with dampened and undampened decays, metal, maple, brass, deep, shallow.. tons of options. We currently have one set of birch and another set of maple tom samples with more free updates coming. All our current demos can be heard on the site
www.stevenslatedrums.com - I encourage you to listen to as many demos as you can because they'll all reveal something new. We also have a new more vintage style unposted demo here:
www.stevenslatedrums.com/demo/vintage.mp3
These drums (which are mixed rather loud to show them off) have a vintage sound but MODERN smack.
OK, now for the programming:
currently, the collection is not setup for programmers, as its current shipping is of WAV and DRUMAGOG GOG. HOWEVER, within the next few weeks we WILL have a cymbal pack AND mappings for tons of samplers including REASON, BATTERY, HALION, KONTAKT, GIGASTUDIO, EXS, SAMPLETANK, and more. This will all be a FREE upgrade to whoever buys the current shipping disc. The reason you hear cymbals on the current demos is because it is showing how the collection servers as a REPLACEMENT for hits with programs like Drumagog.
Hope this helped.
