I've always loved that bright, punchy snare sound from all my favourite metal records but I just can never get that sound no matter what combination of mic setup, tuning, pre-amp, equalization, compression and reverb I try. Fresh heads, dead heads, whatever, I've tried them all. Maple, brass, cheap and expensive, different snare sizes. Everything. And yes, the drummers that play them are damn good.
I have Drumagog with the standard set of samples but none of them really impressed me. So I looked around Drumagog's site to see if there are any nicer sample sets that I can buy and I stumbled upon Steven Slates drums.
I read the reviews and then proceeded to listen to his sample clips.
Boy, was I blown away. It was fucking awesome. THESE set of samples must be what most if not all of my favourite metal bands are using.
Unfortunately the price is a little too steep for me and I was disappointed to find out that there's no "send by e-mail" or download purchase option. I live outside the USA and it's very expensive for me.
I was wondering if any of you know any cheaper alternatives. If you want to know what kind of snare sound I'm looking for, go to http://www.stevenslatedrums.com/ and listen to the sample clips. I really want that kind of snare tone. No matter what I do, I just end up getting a snare sound similar to one of the clips on that site with the unprocessed sound (the one where the guy goes "let's take out the samples, and hear the original drums").
