totally! i am trying to get my coworkers and friends on reaper, so they loose their software fear. free vst like this one are a game changer, so everyone can be creativ. or at least give it a shot
Also Want to say a big thank you to Kenny for all the work you do with Reaper tutorials. The only person I know who takes the time to explain in detail how to get things done within Reaper..
I love this drum kit so much I donated to the author. also when I had an issue with the plugin. I contacted customer service only did they out the issue but also fixed other plugin that were not working. fantastic customer service and support..
I also want to say big compliment for making such concise and well presented tutorial, giving the right answers and getting straight to the point. Having one intuitively working set of software paired with these quality tutorials is such big value for us amateurs out there Thank you Kenny!
Additional Note : I see from downloading this, that it also contains a config file for Reaper to load in the piano note names, as a file in the download package. Not a vital thing, but really useful when not sure where the note ranges are on the piano roll, especially for those with less experience with MIDI drum programming, and a welcome touch from the author.
This is a very under-rated drum program. I use it all the time. I prefer it to the also-free Slate Drums 5. It's especially fun to use Kenny's gated reverb technique on it to make the drums sound mega.
I'm trying to get it to work with a NanoKey 2 Korg controller. I loaded it let it set up it's tracks and what not. Did I miss something? Does this plugin care about samplerate? My project was a 96 KHZ 1.
I'd passed over this as I always generally program my own patterns... However, as ever, Kenny has shown ways to use this in a project's workflow that I wasn't aware of previously. In this instance: the usefulness of being able to audition whole sections and so preview how different patterns could work better or worse for an associated melody without committing to a track... so now, as ever again after watching Kenny, I have less disk space and a better tool chest. :)
It's a great plugin. I just do home recording for fun but I've found it very useful. However, I've never used the pre-programmed beats. I just make my own from scratch.
These, Are the drums, I always use, for ages. In my projects. They really, sound great. Kenny...haha (hugs bro). You forgot to mention to viewers that if they want the NAG screen to go away permanently if they happen to change computers or OS, they have to pay 12 dollars with Pay-Pal or Other which allows you to enter the new computer ID and receive a new code to activate the drum software without a nag screen. However, you can also simply ignore this step but you will always have to click on 'SKIP' on the first screen before you will hear any drum sound. I love all your videos and you are seriously knowledgeable with this particular DAW. Always amazingly helpful. I always have trouble when wanting to use the Trim Volume. I click for the little dots and when I want to angle or pull down the line, the entire line itself comes with it. Meaning, you have a volume line, you create 2 or 3 points, then pull the second one down to the bottom. But what happens is the whole damn line drops rather then the little area I want to be shaped/angled. Know what I mean Kenny? I am not sure how to properly use this feature well and manage only by fluke or by threatening I will smash it...lol.
MT Power is a great drummer. I do wish it had a facility for adding more grooves, however. The included grooves tend to be quite straight up and down. Some Latin feels would be very useful.
It does use common key mapping so u can use other midi drum sources with minimal effort. I believe midi is interchangeable with SSD5 and EZdrummer for the most part. U can download drum midi packs for free and use them with MTPDK
I have MT Power Drum Kit 2 and EZDrummer2 with the latin percussion extension. For ease of use MT PDK2 is so much easier to use. I also have a Beatbuddy but I just use some of the midi patterns. I would gladly pay Manda Audio if they ever came up with additional patterns and percussion instruments. For what I do, I use MT PDK2 for about 80% of my recordings.
Great plug-in. Used it for years, along with EZ Drummer and SSD5. Every so often, you just need something a little more "raw" sounding. I do find that I have to turn the snare down just a few notches.
This vst works great no hassels lots of options....it sounds great.....yup its actually free but i donate to them often.....they just put out a free eq called 7Q .....bet its awesome.....
I used to use this plug in to play midi i composed in guitar pro as im can tab any drums i can think about in my head no probs...then export gp 2 reaper and add mt2 as vst caz it sounds way better than guitar pro..also comes in handy 4 cover songs that u cant find backings to on the net...
Hi, I'm completely new to this. I need to use two/three piezo pedals I built associated with a drum/tom etc.. How can I do it? Do I have to buy a sound card if yes what type? Can plug it into mic in Or line in? The idea is to spend the less possible money, considering that the solution is a Drum controller.... I'm doing some research for eventually buy the system in future. Thanks for your answer Vic Thank you for your answer.
I use this and still one of my fav until now,sometines when i stuck to get drum pattern,i found it in mtpdk.Please share how to change the snare sound using sample
Hello mr. Can you advice? I connected my v-drums to PC and set up the midi channels, can see input signal, but the VST pluggin is not doing any sound. Can you help? I try to use MT Power Drumkit 2 but I am new in this and midi. Thanks.
I love every one of your tutorials that you do with reaper, that is how I learn how to use reaper and got into using reaper! But I just have one question? I have MT power drum kit too, it works great it works with my piano and of course with the virtual midi keyboard too! But I do not know how to access the drum fills and grooves, are use NVDA is my screen reader and I am operating on a Windows computer, but I just don’t know how to get the feels and grooves. If you or you know somebody that can do a tutorial explaining how to drag and drop the feels and grooves, with using NVDA screen reader for the blind and visually impaired that would be great. Thank you
Hi! how can i put inside drumkit other plug in (and where can i found)?i have some sample Only for blues and rock...i Need jazz,latin,drum&bass...thanks a lot
I'd be very interested in leaning about how to use the "16 out" , "build routing configuration", for much better control of mixes. Have you done a tutorial on this?
Had a trial of EZ drummer was awesome but new to Drum VST software got some great results but moved onto MT Drummer 2 my opinion sound quality is not as good as EZ but.... for free MTD2 is a no brainer i can experiment and record to my hearts content i will probably move onto EZ drummer when iam a lot more comfortable writing drums and recording get my moneys worth
I just downloaded this today. How do you know what the tempo is? It just says 60-150. I dont see anywhere on the chosen groove where it shows what tempo it is. Just a range of tempos.
Help Kenny. When routing everything individually how do I get more than 8 tracks out to the mixer so everything is one it’s own track? It only allows 8 outs by default.
Great work kenny, I have a request please, could you show how you would convert a song in a audio file like mp3 or wav and convert it to a midi file, then split the file for the separate instruments. cheers
Kenny what controller did you use and did it just work after you loaded it? I tried loading it and because I'm me and I'm a multitrack multichannel nurd I let it do it's multitrack thing. But it didn't talk with the NanoKey 2 I ahave on loan. Did I miss something? I eraced that project then did it the way u did sending it to 1 tereo track and no go still.
Kenny I need help. When I add a pre made fill for MT drumkit to the end of my existing midi drums I cannot see it in the midi window along with the previous parts. It’s like a part on its own. For the life of me I cannot figure why the new drums won’t show in the midi edit window along with the previous parts. Anyone, help?
I have a slight problem where MT drums are not showing up in the plugins section at all. Im fairly new to producing and have no idea how to fix it. Could someone help?
If I ad a MT Power Drum groove i can play it. But after I save and re open the grove do not play. I tested on 2 different PC same problem so there must be something i do wrong. Midi keyboard and mic tracks working fine when reopen.
This one isn't quite as "free" as some of the others. You have to wait a bit and press the Skip button every time you open a project to get this to work . That may not seem like a big deal, but it gets annoying, and I got bitten by that when I opened and immediately rendered a project only to realize later that I had no drums. So I ended up sending them $10 to get rid of that. Small price to pay to get rid of that annoying skip screen, but be forewarned.
ok. probably not but here goes. Is there a way to replace a note with say an imported cowbell. such as replace a ride bell on a song for a cowbell etc?
This is my favorite go to drum kit so I donated to the author.
Same here!
I did too. Really happy with this drum kit
I did the same in May 2020 when I found this awesome plugin! I use it for all my drum tracks.
Me too. I've been using it for a few years and love its simplicity and great grooves. Easy to sketch out nice stuff in a few clicks.
as did I
I like how these tutorials present and encourage people to use free vst as opposed to pirated ones, for example.
totally! i am trying to get my coworkers and friends on reaper, so they loose their software fear. free vst like this one are a game changer, so everyone can be creativ. or at least give it a shot
The free plugins from Valhalla DSP are amazing
@@binface9 Man my whole channel is Valhalla just about. Hahahah. I absolutely love it.
SENHEISSER DRUMMIC'A ITS FREE AND SOUNDS MUCH MUCH BETTER
@@MrBeen992 🤔 Never heard of it. Does it require Kontakt Player?
Also Want to say a big thank you to Kenny for all the work you do with Reaper tutorials. The only person I know who takes the time to explain in detail how to get things done within Reaper..
I wonder if Kenny still feels appreciative of people saying nice things about him, or if he's just completely numb to it at this point lmao

I've been using this plug-in for a few years. It's nice to see it get the Kenny Gioia treatment
Great video, thanks! I've been using MT Power Drumkit 2 for some time on a lot of recordings. Best free drum software period I think.
I've had this for a couple years but you showed me some things, thanks Kenny!
Used Power drumkit for about 5 years i love it! Great tutorial btw!
A great way to organize those grooves and files. I'm impressed!! Great work, Kenny!! Have a blessed evening!!
The Composer feature is like a dream machine, and I often use it work on ideas. Changing the tempo is easy.
I'm trying to get it to work with a NanoKey 2 Korg controller.
I loaded it let it set up it's tracks and what not.

Thank you for all of the helpful tutorials :)>
You are the number 1 channel for Reaper questions and much appreciated :)>
Outstanding!!! Thanks Kenny!! Keep 'em coming!!
This is a great plugin, certainly the best one I've used so far.
That's a nice sounding little kit!
I love this plugin
this is really helpful for MIDI drum programming :D thanks Kenny
This is my go to drum set
Will DL this momentarily. Thanks Kenny!
Didn't actually understand how to use the fills , very helpful
Really Powerful I used it all the time.Fantastic
Great presentation, Kenny - thank you!

Grade A+ Kenny. I love the show. Thank you for all work and effort and the knowledge...
Great video. Thank you. I sometimes use the MT grooves and swap to Superior Drummer 3 to see if that sounds better for me.
great tutorial yet again. Thank you Kenny.
Thanks, Kenny. This was very helpful. It's not as complicated as I had thought.
Low-key been waiting for you to do this.

Thanks Kenny, your Reaper tutorials are easy to understand and very useful !
thankyou so much for this vid..more power to your channel!!!
This is so damn superb. I just downloaded it. Reaper Mania rocks!
This channel is why people give Reaper a try 👏👏
Oh man thank you so much! I use Linux and sometimes is really hard to find good plugins .

Great tip, man! Tks!
Downloading is really intuitive and the drums look and seem to sound really great !
Now - I don't have to worry about drums anymore. :)
Very nice presentation, thank you Kenny! Can we hope you will make a video about using MT PDK2 with drums separated on 8 tracks?
Thank You sooo much! I was struggling with this as I am new to all this, best ever!
Yet again, thanks for another very helpful tutorial.
Wow, I was playing this tutorial while listening to some LoFi and amazingly the beats synched 🥰🥰🥰 super spooky action at a distance synchronization! 😎
thank you sir.....💖💖💖💖

Thanks Kenny G.
Kenny, Is there a way to trigger midi notes (outputted) from the MT Power Drum Kit?
The chyna combined with the piano makes me think of Nyango star. Bit like a metal drummer playing with a hotel lobby pianist :D
Great plugin, I paid for it. But it's a little repetitive after a while so now I'm experimenting with blending it with other drum samples.
Thanks for that.

@@REAPERMania nice, so what is your video editing program?

@@REAPERMania thanks!
Just loaded this yesterday! you looking over my shoulders!?
Great. Very useful. How could I keep the "MT power drum kit 2" grooves and fills using them on different drum kit vst? Is it possible?
Yes, drag them to the track. Once you've got it all arranged, swap to different drum VST.
I'm unable to hear the kit once it's available and running through Reaper, can anyone help?

ok. probably not but here goes. Is there a way to replace a note with say an imported cowbell. such as replace a ride bell on a song for a cowbell etc?
Are you trying to switch pieces of the drum kit, or change MIDI notes that you've already recorded?
@crnkmnky already talked to developer. Used another plug-in for the cowbell
but how to we install it? i hate that these videos never show that.
Hey can you make the area you select brighter? Or change the color? When I select a area the highlight is hard to see.
what would be good, would be having each drum on its own track.
Can you do a classic double kick groove at various bpm please ?
