Any extra acoustic kits for Battery you'd recommend?

[klagga]

Are there any extra (other than the ones included) high quality drum acoustic kit libraries for NI Battery 3 that you would recommend?

I saw NIs Kore soundpack "Pop drums" and it sounded nice, but I hate that I have to use the Kore player for it.

Any 3rd parti libraries maybe?

Thanks

If you do web searches for vintage drum machine samples, or come across any other samples you like, they are easily dragged into Battery's matrix to build your own kits. I've made about 20 of my own kits of web samples plus converted esi-32 samples.

have a look here... there´s even a good one for free.
a bit strange mapping, but sounds great and realistic.

Ocean Way Drums utilizing the Kontakt Player.

Best Ive ever used.

for free and dirty do a search for NT kit 7.
There also used to be a couple sets, one called rough rider, the other called easy rider.
Careful how you go googling those two though.

Oops. Sorry I forgot you were looking for Battery Kits. No it wont.

Pop Drums does sound very nice though.

never really liked the NT kit 7... not that you should care about that, since you have ears of your own...
Rough Rider and (less so) Easy Rider, get a bit of use here - they're small, and once you map them properly (set up velocity crossfades) they sound decent - I think that was how I learnt to use Battery to create decent sounding kits.

Anyway, Soniccouture have a free Brush kit, which I think sounds great, as good as the Battery library kits (some of which they were responsible for). Any opportunity to mention their magnificence. Pettinhouse, another sometime NI contributor, also has some nice give-away samples - not so detailed as the SC stuff, i.e. not "real" sounding kits necessarily, but some excellent sampled sounds.


The thing that puts me off Battery a bit for acoustic drums is the voice groups behaviour - I think they need to trigger additional release groups as well, so that once a sound gets cut off, you can trigger some kind of release tail - I'm thinking especially cymbals.
