Anyone know if Beta Monkey is putting out anything new? I think I read somewhere that they are releasing some new hard rock stuff but I am not sure.

I guess the players AND the sounds are generic. Perhaps that is over generalizing for all modern players but as far as that "rock sound" you're creaming your pants over in DFH, then that is pretty generic. It's doubtful there are thousands of guys who play the same snares, same tunings, heads, rooms ...

Beta Monkey is awesome - love the Double Bass Mania CD.

Braj,

Amen! That says it all.


But, if I might add... DFH is fine, not impeccable. And, studio standard is another way to say GENERIC. That's why no one has a recognizable drum sound anymore. When Bonham, Moon, Van Halen kicked in, you knew who the drummer was. When the latest Hoobastank tune ...

I think you're missing my point mate. It is a collection of samples, drums being struck from soft to hard, with a variety of microphones. That in and of itself doesn't translate to "great" or anything even remotely close. You missed the point.

Samples have a place but it will always be secondary ...

DFh is so overrated. I have DFH Superior and the sounds are nothing special. I don't really get why everyone creams in their pants over there - they are just plain drum samples! Big deal.

The way I see it is that DFH may be 9 GB of samples, but it has 0 GB of feel, skill, or heart. This is why ...

If you need drum loops for metal, then this is the best sample disc I have found yet...
