Natural midi drums?

[JuanCarlos]

Hi , ... i would appreciate help with this …
I want to get a real drum kit sound that i can control thru a midi keyboard in real time using protools....... just as if i was playing drums with my hands..... could anyone help me with this?? just got protools 8 and fiddled around with the boom and other sequencers but cant seem to get a natural sound, natural as in say a Nirvana record, InUtero to b specific ......
Thanx

BFD2 - it's a bit pricey, but it is a real end-all solution for drums in PRoTools. Sounds friggin amazing

He has a specific drumkit that is supposed to be close to "nirvana's" drum sounds... as well as a bunch of other famous artists.

He has different versions of the library... one in it's own plugin/VI...then he has the same sounds mapped for BFD2, as well as wav files for use in sound replacer and drumagog.

Check out our demos done in BFD2... recorded in the same studio as Nevermind...

Check out the download of Strike for a couple of weeks.

There are certainly quite a few options to consider from the ones mentioned here and many others. BFD2 is certainly a very nice plugin, Strike is one I like a lot because of its integration into PT, Superior Drummer....NICE.... but if you're looking for something top-notch for doing your own programming, check out the OCEANWAY DRUMS. It's not cheap, but very much worth it IMHO.

MIDI aside, how does the sound quality of the BFD2 samples compare to the stock samples from Drumagog? I recently bought Drumagog and am very disappointed at the quality of the stock snare samples, haven't tried much else as I don't really need them at this time. Just curious if I should go with acoustic to MIDI transfer and use BFD2 or get more gog samples like Slate or something.
