    I think I was the first one to buy this. I just happened to be looking at my email account when it came in to my inbox. I clicked it and bought it as fast as humanly possible. These kits are unbelievabley good sounding. I have all the SDX kits but this is my favorite.

    This is stunning.
    I’m predominantly a metal guy, but I love the jazz EZX and I’ll certainly be getting this SDX too.
    Rock and metal snares are great at kicking you in the nuts, but these jazz snares just sing man!
    Every hit has a different resonance of overtones from the previous hit. From a “crack” to a “ping” and everywhere in between.
    I love Area 33 and origin for the same reason. My old ears can literally distinguish between left hand and right hand hits.
    The level of realism is getting intense!
    Any genre - Jazz, hiphop, even metal would love this!

    Thanks, Toontrack. I’m super excited about this release. I’ve been secretly wishing for some more ‘Jazz’ releases for some time. But really, I just look forward to any releases.
    Loving the sounds. James has done a wonderful job! 🙏🏻

    I bought this today, and it has to be the most deeply sampled expansion they’ve ever done. Almost 13 gigs with all velocity layers for a single kit, not a bunch of room mics, and the hi-hats finally sound genuinely real.
    This expansion is gold.

    this sounds so amazing!! i also would love to have the midi performances that were used in this particular video, they arent included arnt they?
    it would be nice to include them as a bonus in addition to the standard midis
    when you thought you are done with drums and you have already amazing sounding SDx, then toontracks opens the doors with just another amazing one! will buy it for sure

    wow...sounds beautiful.... I do use brush kits a lot for artists, and a lot of the other SDX's that have brushes don't have the right snare sounds for me...this one has some great stuff, and it sounds like some of the kicks will also work out fine, which was my worry when knowing how jazz kicks can sound. (in stuff like Americana and such)

    Woah, this sounds a m a z I n g . 😮
    I was wondering, what’s the intuit of those pads in front of the Tom mics on one of the kits? Is it to muffle the sound more?

    • @toontrack
      @toontrack  7 месяцев назад +2

      James was specific about how the drum kit's sound bleeds into the open microphones. When we recorded a kit with just one rack tom and kept one mic open for a second rack tom that wasn't physically there, he still wanted to simulate the presence of the drum. This helps to shield the microphone somewhat, mimicking the effect of having an actual drum in that position.

    Interesting, but too many sets appear to be missing toms for me to get on board.

    • @toontrack
      @toontrack  7 месяцев назад +4

      Some kits have 2 toms, some kits have 4. The toms that were original to the kits were recorded, meaning we did not add random unmatched toms to kits that did not originally have them.

    • @FEV369
      @FEV369 7 месяцев назад

      @@toontrack Thanks! I give the feedback because while I understand some kits are 2 toms, it makes them very easy to skip over using because all the toms would have to be replaced if you need more than just the 2.
