Special thanks to George for helping to organize the group so we could all save the extra $50 bones.

Steven, I am really looking forward to putting these samples to work, cheers!!!

You know, maybe we weren't as good as the mighty BLACKLINE but Squabble (I swear that name sounded so much cooler 20 years ago) did have quite a nice little run for a small town band. Roger looked a lot like Bono and he used to put on a fake accent and tell people he was Bono's cousin. It got us a few gigs and a few paternity suits. After I remix our old tracks I'm sure VH1 will contact us for the reuniting.

Ok I'm in, just payed....hopefully George will tell you I PM'd him at the last minute. Can't wait!!!

Bang · 14th January 2007

Ok guys, group buy is done. I'm really glad we well surpassed the 35 mark and I believe we hit OVER 50. Everyone in the group buy will be getting an email within the next three days. This email will request that you send us a valid paypal address, along with your full name that must match the purchase receipt name. Shortly after that, you will see your 50 dollar rebate in your paypal account. If you do not have a paypal account, start one now.

Again, thanks George, and thanks to everyone who participated. I think that you will all thoroughly enjoy using this sample collection and the soon to be updates. Please email us at support@stevenslatedrums.com for any problems, questions, comments, reviews, testimonials, or just to say hi. We'd also love to hear some user audio demos. Thanks again, after years of working on this project, its great to have it out with such success.

First, I want to thank George for helping with this.

Here are the rules of the GEARSLUTZ Steven Slate Drums GROUP BUY:

1. To prevent people from dropping out, this will be a CASH BACK GROUP BUY

2. To participate in the group buy, you must first PM George Necola your full name and email

3. You will then go to www.stevenslatedrums.com/groupbuy.html and purchase the disc for its full price of $199, using regular priority shipping only (not express), and it will be shipped to you immediately

4. At the end of the group buy, which we have made January 14th, George will send us his list, and we will verify it with the buyers from the group buy page.

5. If 15-24 people have purchased, they will receive 20 dollars back via PAYPAL.
If 25-34 people have purchased, they will receive 40 dollars back via PAYPAL.
If 35 or more people have purchased, they will receive 50 dollars back via PAYPAL.

6. We will have George send us an updated list each day and we will post the number of people in the group buy at www.stevenslatedrums.com/groupbuy.html

This should be a fairly easy way to save yourself some cash, and get yourself a virtual worldclass drum locker! Thanks everyone, and thanks again George.

Well i wish it was written down in the rules one the first page of this thread about this group buy ending at noon today. I just ordered the samples not too long ago and then later read that it ended at noon. does this mean i was not part of the group buy? what gives? i seriously dont have the time to read every post in this thread. i assumed that by ending on the 14th that it is still available on the 14th, oh well live and learn i guess.fuuck

Bang · 17th January 2007

Our internet was off and on at the studio today but will be fixed tomorrow. Everyone who is in the group buy will soon be receiving an email to confirm their paypal address. Sorry for the delay. Hope everyone is enjoying the samples, the GOG upgrade disc will be available this weekend, again, all current customers will get it for free plus shipping. For new customers, the GOG and WAV disc will be on one disc.

Gie-Sound · 17th January 2007

I just got the CD's. ThanX so far!!

Cap'n Spanky · 17th January 2007

Got the samples last night and loaded a couple of snares, toms, and bass drums into Battery. I didn't have much time, but I tried them in one of my tunes. They sounded great and fit perfectly into the mix! These are just what I' ve been looking for. Nice work!

GPl · 17th January 2007

How long you figure it takes to get to Ontario, Canada?

Deacon Daniell · 18th January 2007

Has anyone from the group buy received the email for the 50 back? I have not so I'm curious if maby I got lost in the shuffle.

Bang · 18th January 2007

The internet has been off and on (mostly off) for the past two days so tomorrow everyone from the group buy WILL get an email. If you do not receive an email tomorrow and you think you should have, email us at support@stevenslatedrums.com

It takes about 3-5 days to CANADA GPI.

iamproof · 18th January 2007

Hey Bang, or Steven (i Guess),

just bought my copy tonight and cant wait to get it over here in UK...cus it sounds fukin sweet on those demos. I have a question tho,

On those demos when we hear the drums with the samples in them, did you only mix in the samples with the overheads and room tracks(from the live takes) or are the samples blended in with the whole mix (with kick and snare etc + overhead and room from the live takes)?

also i can safely say that i will not be drumagoging these. i fukin hate the fact drumagog cant place the samples exactly in time to the played hits.....nope...... its all manual line up of midi for me....its a flaming pain in the ass but the result is soo much more satisfying and proper in time.............

Bang · 18th January 2007

To answer your questions, I put drumagog on the close mic tracks and then triggered the desired samples.

As for Drumagog, it seems that you haven't used it since the new auto align feature was added. Furthermore, the auto alignment algo keeps getting updated and at is latest, version 4.09, is extremely precise.

Oops, time to update...thanks, Mr. Bang, sir.

Bang · 19th January 2007

Ok, groupbuy email was sent. Check your mail, and check your spam box because mass emails tend to go that route. If you haven't received an email, hit us up at
support@stevenslatedrums.com with your order number and name.

Also, GOGs are being tested (and will ship Monday). The 4.09 seems to really make the auto align super tight, things are sounding great here.

**George Necola** · 19th January 2007

iamproof · 19th January 2007

ok thanks Bang........but can u just clarify: so in the demos there are no direct mics playing...just the samples are playing....(i,e the direct mics are not being blendid using drumagog they have been replaced)? cheers

Bang · 19th January 2007

There is NO blend of the original mics, you are hearing ALL samples. GOGs are shipping for all current orders. Current Wav customers will be contacted next week.

Bang · 20th January 2007

Again, if you have not received a rebate email, send us a message to
support@stevenslatedrums.com with your ORDER NUMBER

DRUMAGOG GOG format is now shipping. Current customers will get info soon. New demos coming very soon.

Bang · 21st January 2007

Everyone who replied to our group buy email will be seeing Paypal rebates within the next three days. Thanks. Go Pats!

Bang · 22nd January 2007

As I write this, rebates are flowing. If you do not get one by Wednesday, email us. Drumagog GOGs are shipping now, (site will be updated to reflect that today) and current wav users WILL get contact info this week about the free upgrade.
