Default Drum VST's - are there any good ones with presets?

As in preset drumkits and beats (although beats are not that important).

Coming from Addictive Drums, which does not work and the developers will not release .exe install files. It is compulsory to use the online installer, which does not work, properly, under WINE.

So something of that quality would be the go...And it does not have to be free, happy to pay for one if necessary.

If you load a kit in hydrogen, you can replace the samples one by one,
and then export the kit with a different name. Lots of synths have
segregated percussion preset sections to mine from, for example, you find 10 cool percussive sounds in a preset collection, record them in a track with a uniform gap beteen the sounds, load the track three times in audacity, and starting at the end of the first track, export each sound as .wav with a simple name, and delete it off the end of the track, repeating the steps for each remaining sound.

Do the same for the other 2 tracks, but first amplify each track louder or quieter,
and export using the same names appended with a 2 or 3, so drum sounds pulled from TAL Noisemaker synth could be
tal-tom
tal-tom2
tal-tom3
based on loudness etc

This way, a hydrogen pattern could have built-in velocity from instruments
in the kit placed in the pattern grid(s) with some randomness, or desired expression. When using qjackctl, make an audio track in Reaper, and connect the Hydrogen (or avlkits etc) output there, add something like Replika for effects, and let the good times roll, or badda-bing or...

Thanks folks, much appreciated...

One thing is that I cannot seem to load Hydrogen into Reaper? Well at least I have not found where ladspa files are stored by Hydrogen and I am guessing I need to point Reaper to the location.

I read they are suppose to be in opt somewhere? but I couldn't find them?

In any case it may be moot if one of those other options mentioned above pans out

I didn't think Hydrogen was a plugin.

Try DrMr:

https://kx.studio/Repositories:Plugins#drmr

It's supposed to load Hydrogen kits and it's a plugin.

Thanks James - yeah it is supposed to be a ladspa as well, but there us no ladspa folder in usr/lib - at least that's where research suggests it should be. And I read that Reaper can load ladspa files. I installed via Synaptic, so I am guessing it did the "right" thing??

I check out DrMr

I may have misread/understood - would NOT be the first time

James, are the kits you setup not usable on Linux?

Yes, they are. The kits are for DrumGizmo, which is available as Linux VST and Linux LV2. There are no "presets" though. The kits are ready to use, and sound good as-is, but they are best with more EQ etc. added.

Here's a link to the "big" kit I made:

https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=233402

And then the other 2 which are simpler (no overhead/room channels, made from different drum samples):

(Scroll down a bit.)

Ugritone can be used for pop, rock, etc. too. In EZDrummer, I'd even sometimes use the Nashville kit for metal. It's more a matter of whether the software will allow enough adjustments or not. This software does allow for that.

You would have to adjust most of the presets (since the mix is more suited to metal), and I expect you might not like some of the expansions available for KVLT II (and you might not care for Northern Artillery). But these plugins have multiple mic channels, various kit pieces to substitute, EQ, pitch, and one-shot slots, so it's not like a "pre-baked" sound per kit; what starts out even as a "death metal" kit preset can be transformed into something great for rock.

If you expect to play jazz with them though (or blues), then I'd agree that you probably shouldn't use them.

If you're just concerned about rock (or even blues) sounds, Riot should be good. It's just the one kit though.

You might also like the DrumGizmo kits I made.

It's in the repo of your distro (at least the LV2 version).

Also there are these:

They're probably in your distro's repo.
