Drumkit from Hell

Anyone have experience with this drum package? The demos sound pretty good. I listened to the guided tour demo and the guy explains how they went about making it. Sounds like they put a lot of work into this. I am considering buying the superior version. I mean 85,000 drum samples on one DVD holy crap! [img]images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif[/img]

Looks pretty kick ass man, not cheap! [img]images/smilies/icon_eek.gif[/img]

Yes I agree. Best price I found was at Musician's Friend for 239.99 There's another one there that has 1000 wav samples for 89.99. That price seems a bit more reasonable with a lot less samples though.

I have heard that kit and it is the closest thing to a killer drum kit I have ever heard. I too want to purchase it but don't know which one as of yet. [img]images/smilies/dunno.gif[/img]

I've got the 2 CD Multisampled drums and add on CDs (3 in all). I haven't had much time to do anything with them. I just ordered Drums On Demand 1 & 2 from a recommendation of stingx. I don't have a lot of time to learn MIDI (which is a big part of Drum Kit From Hell). I like wav loops. Maybe I'm too lazy and ought to try to use MIDI. I have ACID Pro 3.0.

I checked the site out and i think it's what I looking for. I agree would rather have loops that work with Acid.

Buy one of the DFH poducts!

If you know what you want from recorded drums then this is the package for you. They are recorded perfectly and you can gate or compress or do whatever you like with them.

i am currently using the DFH mutiformat version and it suits me just fine.

They are particularly useful to record your own tracks from scratch (as opposed to using pre-programmed loops)

Tip: If you use DFH download 'Freeverb'. It is ideal for getting closer to THAT drum sound...

i bought dfhs 2 weeks ago. i was and still am absolutly stunned by this program i also have bfd but now im selling bfd dfhs is amazing

BFD is excellent but I really think you need to be used to a proper recording studio to get the best from it. The drums are really mic'ed as they would be in a studio and you have to be able to get good sounds from the overheads, ambient mics etc.

DFH is an excellent package and it allows you to take direct mic'ed sources and eq them and add fx as necessary.

I use a drum machine and Battery V2. The DM5 is pretty cool for some snare/hi hat variance but as with all drum machines those snare rolls sound like a bloody machine gun. Battery (and DFH) have superb velocity mapping which pisses on any hardware with fixed samples. I prefer Battery because it works for me - but there are some great packages - the DFHS is brilliant and so is BFD (provided you are a competent engineer).

it would be cool if we could all post mp3.s of a very simular beats with our chosen drum programs so we and others could compare them. im up for it... anyone else?

Hey guys,

I rounded up DFH 2 and am having a hell of a time figuring out how to assign the different sounds to different notes on the keyboard.

I am using it with SOnar 4 and when I load up DFH2 to play the midi files I have it plays the wrong drums at the right times.

Can anyone point me to a tutorial or a book that explains how to use the program? I cant even find a help program in the program itself!

Thanks!
