It’s so good. To say the full kit is worth the $30 is a vast understatement. I use this over my EZ drums. I do hope they offer some groove libraries soon!
This sounds really good! So nice that’s there’s finally free drums that sound that good. And paying for these doesn’t seem to be that burdensome either.
What do you mean finally? There have been many free drum samples/plugins before this, not to mention this sounds a lot like one of the other free plugins, in the beginning I could swear I was hearing the same samples even.
@@DestoTrading finally meaning that there’s free drums that I really enjoy the sound of. I liked the old GGD demo kit, but hated that it was always on a timer. I just really like this plugin, and the paid version’s not that expensive, which is very exciting.
Really nice demo of the drums. Going to have to try this kit with your free Amped Roots which I have been a big fan of. If Mikko adds a free bass amp to the collection what a great starter set up for a beginner.
Sounds really good and is a great option for those looking for something pretty straightforward and at a great price point. Interested to see how it grows.
This is really cool. Nice to see something other than the already incredible MTPowerDrumKit2 available for freeware drums and the full price is super reasonable
I been using MTPDK2 for abt as long as I’ve been producing music. It gets the job done and it does it well in most applications, but man it might be time to expand the library w this plugin :)
I used to use MT all of the time but I had some issue with it and stopped using it. About three days ago I was helping a friend with some midi and of course he was using MT, it's still pretty great.
i couldnt get the mapping presets to work right with toontrack midi files in reaper they all were missing the high hats i tried each preset and none of them had the high hat
Good enough for demo sketching and song writing, not enough velocity layer and round robins though. Its role overlaps with GGD's one kit wonder packs quite a bit, but it does have an extensive selection of cymbals.
You got a hint of that sleep deprivation/jet lag weathered journeyman glowing "tour face" about you Fluff! Ha! How I miss those days. (sigh) Looks good on you dude. Seriously tho, I hope you guys are staying safe and well out there doing the good work of melting faces off amigo! Dang tho?! This plugin sounds freakin good! Like really good! Once again Mikko knocks it right out of the park! Totally gonna rip through this freebie on my e-kit over the weekend!! Dude, I just thought of something... Shooting a demo vid comprised of a track made exclusively with all the free ML Sound Labs plugins?! Could potentially be bad ass! Ha! Feeling a bit inspired by that now, wait... Nope, just gas... LMAO! 😅🙄🤔🤫
Sounds really good! I think it takes time to build solid drum software…as in it becomes exponentially better as more stuff is added/grown. Not an easy task with so many factors involved in drum styles and sounds. I am deeply invested in Toontrack, and Superior/EZ Drummer are just the bomb, to me. But I will keep an eye on this because I’m very impressed with how ML Sound Labs approaches everything they’ve done so far. I hope they take their time and emphasize quality over quantity - even if it’s little by little. That’s what would sell me on it.
It sounds awesome. I got it the first day Mikko released it, and its great. But you have done it sound even much better tahn I could imagine. Could I ask you how many dBs do you compress with the API-2500?. Thank you very much for the video!!
Downloaded the free version and will get the paid version if it works for me 😊 Very refreshing to see a paid version costing less than 100 and having a free kit too to try. There’s not that many options at that price range and will be a bit more brand loyal to this if good - tried the free ik multimedia kit and the snare is hideous…
Good question,i was thinking the same as you about where are the drum grooves?I played around with the stand alone version of ML Drums and i cannot find a way to load or play midi drum grooves even if you have to import them into ML Drums?
Not for the moment - there's talks about creating something a bit more unique to help users create drum tracks faster. Really there are lots of things we want to do with the platform.
Yes! Most DAWs should handle this pretty easily (you'll either need to select the VST instruments output in the instrument tab, or create additional aux channels and set the inputs to the plugin. Let me know which DAW you're running and I can help you get set up!
@@KaiDown thanks... I have studio one... It's just that I don't see assignable outs on the ML software for each drum... Where as has EZD has it right at the bottom. Anyways any help is appreciated. Thanks
@@TavaresProject Super easy on Studio One! Just open up the instruments tab in the bottom-left, hit the drop-down next to ML Drums, then enable all the outputs. They'll all be pre-named and pre-routed for you!
The free version is more of a demo as it won’t play the file I created, faithfully because it’s not a full set. If we were to talk about a truly free set, that would be donation ware, Power Drum Kit. I’d consider buying ML if it became comparable to PDK. The former has a good sound but lacks in features.
I'm clueless on this stuff. How do you program the drums into a song that sounds cool? I don't play drums. I've never played drums. I wouldn't really know what to play without trying to copy something someone else has done. And that would take a ton of trial and error.
Something that has helped me is programming drum covers of different songs. It will help you as a non-drummer to train your ear and get hands on experience with what the professionals would do, and you’ll pick up your own style along the way as you learn how a drummer thinks. Might be worth a shot. Hope this helps!
@@KaiDown hey thank you for the reply. I did end up figuring it out lol. I'm such a noob when it comes to this stuff. Lol. Again thank you and I appreciate the help.
I'd love to spend money with them... But unfortunately...can't figure out how to get the fuckin "request key". Shouldn't be this difficult to buy a product.
Multi-out specifically is one of the best features of ML Drums. :) So easy to just make more outputs and boom. Snares are always personal but we're really focusing on getting that natural ring in tune and not muted.
Thank you so much for checking it out Fluff!! So happy with the instant results everyone's getting. 😊
great ML Sound Lab, tnks!
Been using the free kit this evening and I'm impressed for sure!
Cheers buddy!! Glad you like it. 😉

What do you mean finally? There have been many free drum samples/plugins before this, not to mention this sounds a lot like one of the other free plugins, in the beginning I could swear I was hearing the same samples even.
Grasshopper, remember this one universal truth: Manda audio MT powerdrumkit walked so that other great free drums could run
@@DestoTrading finally meaning that there’s free drums that I really enjoy the sound of. I liked the old GGD demo kit, but hated that it was always on a timer. I just really like this plugin, and the paid version’s not that expensive, which is very exciting.
I love these drums! Mikko and Kai are both awesome people, and I love what they’ve been doing
I absolutly love ML Sound Labs. Thnx for showing this in the daw on a deeper level im gonna download it as soon as im off work

The mechanical sound that significantly older drum libraries had is a thing of the past, the bar is now raised.
This is really cool. Nice to see something other than the already incredible MTPowerDrumKit2 available for freeware drums and the full price is super reasonable
True. I've used MTPowerDrumKit2 to death. Still love it to get things done quickly.
Steven Slate 5.5 is free and it’s my favorite free drum software so far. But now I’m gonna download this plugin and see what it can bring 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Absolutely love ML sound and this will be a good new toy!
Have fun with it!!
Sounds great! Looks great!
Killer demo song, wow!
Rock on!
🤟😺🤟
PS
I use your ML Amp frequently!
Solid!!
I love starclassic performers. I have 8 of the bb shells in white oyster. The demo sounds good.. cool riff.. that guitar tone is pretty fire 🔥
I was waiting for you to review this! ML does some great stuff... Thanks Ryan! lol
That is some top level riffery Good Sir!
Heard the free version compared to other free drum VST's.. This was my favorite for sure.
this interface looks really similar to the recently shelved audio assault drum vsts which are no longer available
Awesome! I didn't know I could use the API2500 on drums, great tip 👍
You should do a review on Glennnnn’s drum software from Spectre Digital.
ill see you in a few hours
Tones are pretty goodHope they have a good amount of preset loops.
Sounds great!! Thinking of buying it
Heyyyyy nice In The Whale shirt! Those guys came up in the same scene as me.
i couldnt get the mapping presets to work right with toontrack midi files in reaper they all were missing the high hats i tried each preset and none of them had the high hat

Seriously tho,
I hope you guys are staying safe and well out there doing the good work of melting faces off amigo!
Dang tho?! This plugin sounds freakin good!
Like really good!
Once again Mikko knocks it right out of the park!
Totally gonna rip through this freebie on my e-kit over the weekend!!
Dude,
I just thought of something...
Shooting a demo vid comprised of a track made exclusively with all the free ML Sound Labs plugins?!
Could potentially be bad ass! Ha!
Feeling a bit inspired by that now, wait...
Nope, just gas...
LMAO!

Dig the in the whale shirt. I've seen them three times here in western Colorado.

To me this sounds exactly like Metal Machine from ez2. You hit it right on the nose when you said the John Tempesta snare
Doooope!
So dope!
It sounds awesome. I got it the first day Mikko released it, and its great. But you have done it sound even much better tahn I could imagine. Could I ask you how many dBs do you compress with the API-2500?. Thank you very much for the video!!
The drums sound awesome!!! A quick technical question do you know if they are running native on M1 Mac Silicon?? Cheers man loving the hotel uploads!!
That’s cool.. so you’re only using a midi keyboard to layout the drum tracks?
Downloaded the free version and will get the paid version if it works for me 😊
Very refreshing to see a paid version costing less than 100 and having a free kit too to try. There’s not that many options at that price range and will be a bit more brand loyal to this if good - tried the free ik multimedia kit and the snare is hideous…
Sounds good to me. i'll try...
I really like to try it but Yet I still can't find it in garage band audio unit after download Free version and installation....somebody can help me?
How much is it compare to superior drummer, which one is better?
Would you maybe give us a link to the plug in you used that you said Is your “can’t live without it” plug in?
This definitely sounds better than Steven Slate Drums. I've been using Slate Drums for years but the cymbals don't sound good.
that bass tone at 6:50, chain?
Sounds great, but no support for ProTools yet, so I get to wait. Meanwhile, thanks for the great content!
I meant no support for ProTools on Windows. Sorry for any confusion.
maybe I missed this but no grooves are built in ?
Good question,i was thinking the same as you about where are the drum grooves?I played around with the stand alone version of ML Drums and i cannot find a way to load or play midi drum grooves even if you have to import them into ML Drums?
Not for the moment - there's talks about creating something a bit more unique to help users create drum tracks faster. Really there are lots of things we want to do with the platform.
@@mlsoundlab If there's gonna be grooves please make them an optional install because not all users need them for anything.
Do you have the ability to do the multi-out for each drum?

For me, it's missing a grid Editor, and a High Tom. Can't compete with Toontrack, sorry
A 30 bucks virtual drums, that sound like a 3000 bucks drums... AMAZING! Slap in your face Toontrack! hahahaha

This gonna work in 32BIT? I’ve got a really old version of cubase but it works for me
@Mustafa Mir the response from the guys over at ML was no. It only runs on 64BIT operating systems
Good looking Shirt XOXO
I'm so glad Mikko doesn't mess with iLok. I HATE iLok.
More like we’re checking out your unmade bed in the background, lol. 🤘
And yes I've got the free version already...
Open up the "Shop" tab - your request key is in there. Use that key on the product page to purchase a full license!
@@KaiDown hey thank you for the reply. I did end up figuring it out lol. I'm such a noob when it comes to this stuff. Lol. Again thank you and I appreciate the help.

Shouldn't be this difficult to buy a product.
You need to download and install the free version first, you'll be able to get it from there. It's needlessly complicated, i agree.
In the whale!!!!!!!
Interesting, but no multi out and the default free snare definitly needs work
Multi-out should be pretty simple to get up and running in most DAWs, what DAW are you using?
@@KaiDown Got it!
@@KaiDown got it running in Reaper now, sounding good!
@@ayeapprove Sweeeet! Glad to hear it!

Are you really too lazy to set up a drum kit in your hotel room Fluff? Really? 😉
everything sounds pretty great but man, the snares aren't it imo
It's prob something easy,I'm just a tard. Lol
