EXS24 BJA Drumkit Instrument For Download

Bransin James Anderson drumkit sampler instrument tracked to analog from the beginning. This is the first one I've put together thus far.

• All samples were tracked to 2" analog tape, Neve VR preamps, Pro Tools for editing, and arranged as an EXS24 sampler instrument in Logic Pro.
  
• True sounding Pacific drumset with all samples left raw (no compression, no EQ or effects).
  
• Multiple degrees of velocity. There are about 8 samples per key.
  
• All cymbal samples are true stereo overheads recorded with AT4031 microphones
  
• Drum samples are from C1 through D#2 on keyboard
  
• 44.1K, 16 Bit .AIFF

hi bja, just testing your kit. like your kik and snr.

had to do editing in the EXS24 - your velocity ranges overlap eachother.

as in: 1-32, 32-48 - etc.

shouldn't they be 1-32, 33-48 etc?

keep up the good work.

Whoops! Thanks for pointing that out. I guess down the road I'll have to fix that since I'm working on Express. Thanks again, glad you're enjoying it.

It's okay for velocity ranges to overlap, as long as it is intentional and you've properly adjusted the amount of crossfade.

So why ios a Certifeid Pro working in Express?

So why ios a Certifeid Pro working in Express?

 

To answer your question.

 

Because Martin Sitter and Robert Brock wrote a fine book to give me the ability to pass the Logic Pro exam.

 

The school which I attended used Logic Pro as well.

Don't want to pee in your Cheerios but I would expect a "Certified" Logic person to be aware of the proper layout for a GM drum kit. And how to program your hi-hats properly. Great samples, though.

Nope, sorry brutal dudes. Sorry I didn't meet your expectations.

dude, unline everyone else on here, i would like to give you some credit and adulation. seriously man, good job.

Guys, please help me out--I'm downloading the kit, but I know from previous experience that I don't know what to do next! Will this just show up in my EX24 or do I have to load it?

 

Also, if I did want to change the velocity ranges so they didn't overlap, how would I do that?

 

Thank you for the new drumkit!

By the way, just to prove that I'm trying--the kit downloaded, I did as instructed and it now lives in my Sampler Instruments folder. I can see it, along with the other sampler instruments I've loaded in (and can select in the EX24).

 

But there is still no BJA in my EX24 pull-down menu...?

Update--I found it, and it's loaded! I'd still like to know if there is a way to edit the veolicities--I'm assuming that would enable me to make the hat close when playing the closed sound after the open sound?

Thanks man!

 

I was getting sick of only being able to use the drum kits that come with Logic Express (I can't afford anything else at the moment).

Kudos Bransin!

 

Great Share, some drumkit with character. Thank you for the time & effort to put this together and the generosity to post this at LPH. This is one of the reasons that this community is my stop for help with Logic.

"I would expect a "Certified" Logic person to be aware of the proper layout for a GM drum kit"

 

That's interesting - I always thought that the GM layout was for entry level users to be compatible. Most of the pro's I know do their own customised layouts to suit their programming style.

I think what you're trying to do would mean you have to go into the instrument editor section of the EXS, create a new group for the hats, if there isn't one already and change the number of voices in the group to 1.

 

Downloading the kit now... thanks man!!

Thanks for making this kit available, sounds really authentic.

I've already used the rides and crashes in a track I made!

 

Not sure if its your thing but the track is called Searcher and can be found here

Thanks again

Very nice kit bro. Thanks!

Hey Bransin!

 

They are really good sounding these samples!

One thing I could point out as an "improvement" is that I noticed that you've routed eg. your hihat1 to a group called hihat1 and hh2 to group hh2.

Instead I would route ALL hihat samples out to a group called Hihat and set the maximum voice to 1 for maximum realism.

The same goes for snare and maybe bass drum.

Great work and thanks a lot!

Heavy samples, thanks man!

Great sounding drums. I really like the cymbals and hi hats.

 

Thank you very much,

Just downloaded your kit. Really good. Thanks alot for sharing it, I'm sure I'll use it.

Cheers to you for making the kit. Wish I had the patience and skill needed to do something this creative!

Take care!

Yeah great food for my EXS here

Thx man nice Job !!

Very useful - thanks!

Thanks a lot for all your work. I would like to ask a question regarding the start point of each sample. When I trigger them from my Midi controller there is a slight lag before the sample is heard. Is there a quick way of moving all the starting points forward a little to make playing a little more snappy?

Just tested the link. The server may have been down at that time, but it should be working now.

 

Just occurred to me that it has been nearly two years. Glad to see a number have enjoyed the kit.

Yeah, working now! I had noticed it was an old one and feared the worst! Gonna try these out right now, thanks for sharing!

thanks for this- new to the forum and rather delighted to see people sharing resources like this! Also wanted to echo what others have said about the cymbal samples- top notch. Thanks!
