Console commands: cd /(your path to the samples & drumkit) cp *.* /usr/share/hydrogen/data/drumkits/Colombo-Acustic-Drumkit Then you can use it with Hydrogen, just open this file from Hydrogen /usr/share/hydrogen/data/drumkits/Colombo-Acustic-Drumkit/Colombo-Acustic-Drumkit-v1.h2song or type (Console command) hydrogen /usr/share/hydrogen/data/drumkits/Colombo-Acustic-Drumkit/Colombo-Acustic-Drumkit-v1.h2song =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =3) Recording details= (7-4-2006) Yesterday I was recording my acustic drum: it's not the best drum in the world, but you can get very nice sounds from it... it is a * Colombo Percussion, handmade in Argentina circa 1970 to 1980 Similar to these models: http://www.deremate.com.ar/accdb/viewItem.asp?IDI=11842530 http://www.deremate.com.ar/accdb/viewItem.asp?IDI=10025439 http://www.deremate.com.ar/accdb/viewItem.asp?IDI=11045984 =Aesthetics= I was not trying to get a "dry" sound: that's why added reverb to almost all of them. The hihat and ride sounds have no extra reverb. There is only one snare sample without extra reverb: snare-opaque-2mics_normal-shot1.flac (if you like it, I could make a new collection of dry samples) I will make a "more wet" (adding some extra reverb) collection in the future, and maybe with another EQ/compression settings: it could be useful when you are making a Soundfont (.sf2) patch and you need your MIDI music to sound as it was already mastered. By using the Hydrogen Drumkits, you can edit every single Instrument adding LADSPA plugins, so, maybe it's not a big deal to add some extra reverb to the sound samples files for now. =Drums's measurement & details= Wooden toms, snare and bassdrum Toms: 12X8 13X9 16X16 (hi, mid, low-foor) Bassdrum: 21X14 Snare "piccolo" 14X4 Aquarian patch set.
