@@monkeyaskswhy true that - that´s been flying around patreon, twitch, etc. for quite some time now - super cool, he actually used it. But then again, why would you not go for it if your lastname is that close to the obvious word play :D
Josh thanks for making this! Appreciate your hard work and plan on buying it. Thank you for making it affordable and simple so I can focus on writing instead of processing!
@@corrupted_realm Who hasn't listened to Sepultura? I'm 40 years old, been listening to them for at least 28 years, This part here reminded me of Territory immediately. Not saying he's ripping it off but it's a good little vibe there and its more the chuggy riffs on the open string that reminds me at around 6:24 ish
@@corrupted_realm Ahhh sweet as, thanks for clearing it up. I've been tinkering around with the plugin today, finally got it to work properly, so much potential for some killer content from everyone on this.
Bought this already, love the sound, absolutely massive. Wish there were more options with the cymbals, but the rest of the kit sounds amazing with plenty of variety, mix ready drums for sure, sounds straight out of a syclosis record!
Hey man, would you know if it will work with Reaper or is it Kontakt Exclusive? is through Kontact just for licensing? I really don't want to use anything other than Reaper as this is the only DAW I record other VST shit on.
Yeah that’ll work. Goto the Insert top menu, choose “Virtual instrument on new track”, choose Kontakt, choose No when Reaper offers to create a bunch of extra tracks, then load the drum library.
@@ScottChesworth Cheers for the advice Scott. I bought the Plugin last night and fired it all up through Kontakt, The issue I had was Kontakt 7 seemed to keep doubling up the single hit on my Yamaha DTX through Reaper on Midi even after remapping and trying to tinker with all the settings. I found a setting which monitors the exact note hit and even the release of kickdrum was registering as a note. I finally found that I was meant to use Kontakt itself and not version 7. Fucked if I know what happened there but it works now
@@justinsuitor1907 yo dude hopefully you got it working fully now! if you managed to link up kontact 7 into reaper ( im using reaper too) and do all the installation instructions sent on the email once you buy the drums, it should work pretty smoothly, so far i havent had any issues with it, honestly I love the drums, nice and simple and sound amazing, so many cool features.
Was so close to already getting a drum pack until you mentioned on the AJFA episode this was coming, so glad I waited, this is such serendipitous timing!
Dude I’ve been waiting for someone to fill the deathier part of the affordable drum sampler market well - and you guys did just that!! Stoked to try this pit
I was excited to hear you announce this a few videos back! I'm in a spot right now so can't buy it unfortunately, but I've got it bookmarked for the day that I can. Great work!
Thanks to people like Josh, we are able to live in the very best time in history for the aspiring (metal) musician. Thank you for all you do, man. Cheers!
Ohh so wild! Usually, every drum kit plugin has a weak point for me! It may be snare sound or toms or artificial cymbals or the sound of low power kick!!! At first look, this drum kit is very powerful and versatile! The large number of toms and their warm sound and strong snare and extreme kick were among the things that attracted me at first sight🤘
Already playing the JM-II while using the JM Tonality suite, been contemplating Bogren’s Krimh drums.. but now this comes out?? Sounds so good too. I don’t know maybe I need both! I just wish neither used Kontakt but it seems worth it.
I really love this concept. I've been running into the same problem of not being able to find the sounds that I want and some other little options that I used on my kit. I need to find a company to talk to I guess lol. I've got ideas.....dammit 😂
Well TBH I was always hoping for a Toontrack library from Josh, because although I love EZd3 & SSD3 for writing, soundwise none of the TT libraries satisfied me 100%. This Kontakt instrument matches the sound in my head when I think of Metal drums. So I guess I will just use EZd3 to program drums and route its MIDI out to MDL Drums. :-)
I stared watching this video and instantly thought here is another musician pushing another plugin drum lib... I almost clicked away. But the features listed really seem well thought out, especially the ability to load one shots + the secondary kick. I wish more plugins added more flexibility like this.
Thanks Rohan. Appreciate it. I am a loooong time user of drum libraries. As a consumer/user first, I’ve thought about all the frustrations I’ve had in the past to make what I think is a really user friendly and versatile library
can you please give us information on the guitar rig in the video? like the sound around 6:15ish. your the man for this sound, no more endless tweaking!
Hey Josh, should the kicks -> one shot samples be included in the download to import? I can't find them when trawling through the Kontakt file tree, or if I search ".wav" on my Mac. Complete Kontakt noob here. I can see folders "Instruments, MIDI files, Samples, Snapshots" as my optional folders but nothing like the list of folders you have. Incredible depth of sounds in this pack, already using in my demos otherwise!
I bought them and absolutely love them. They literally fit perfectly in the 3 existing sessions i had without any extra work. Any recommendations on midi velocities for snare?
Awesome! Absolutely love to hear it. Every snare’s different and has a different characteristic or processing. There are usually 6-7 layers. Either 2-3 layers of rim-shots from 100 up. Just have a play around with the velocity. You definitely wont struggle to make very realistic snare rolls with all the articulations 👊🏻
Yeah of course. I personally just want minimal fuss when I'm writing. Every demo I've made using this is strictly from within Kontakt and doing any 'mixing' with the Tilt EQ/transient designer features
Do I need this? Probably not, but got it anyway and after a quick half hour throwing together some riffs I think this one might be my go to for demos and writing now because it just sounds great without having to dick about for hours.
Sounds awesome Josh! Though I love the type of music this library seems to mainly be going for (sylosis, Maschine head, pantera, Testament), the music that i write is rather on the Architects, Spiritbox sie of things. Any kit or presets in your library you can recommend for that stuff? Btw. The naming is awesome too
This kit has everything covered. Load up the ‘modern metalcore kit’ and you will be very happy! Keep checking back on the channel for other demos and styles. There are presets based on Green Day, Deftones, Jimmy Eat World, BMTH. Check the website and listen to all the examples on the audio player. I have a lot more demos that aren’t on the site to come soon as well! Follow my instagram too as there will be posting across platforms
@@JoshMiddletonOfficial Did that this morning - there´s also some that remind of of sleep token I guess. Overall what I can say is this library sounds very, very tight which I love. And I saw what you did there with the 90´s arena metal kit and your twist on through the never ;-) - looking much forward to further demos, reviews and deep dives. I´d be interested in how much a preset could be a starting point and then say swop the snare. Great work man, and I gotta say - as much as I love routing out my GGD Drums and have full controll over EQ, Compression, etc. to tweak it to the moon and back, it eats up quite some processing in my writing/tracking template
My favourite part about Josh dropping something like this are the riffs he showcases 🔥🔥🔥
@JohnnyCarterMusicOfficial lol, lets see you write better bro, his riffs are amazing.
The riff at 0:20 finished with the pinch is tasty as hell.
Josh Midltone, the name already kicks ass😂
Let's be real, we've all been waiting for that word play to be used

Thanks for the positive feedback. Can't wait to hear what you guys do with these drums. Please send me your demos and mixes!
where should we send them dude? would love for you to hear what I've made with your dope drums!
1:52 min. damn that "5 Minutes Alone" sound!
Absolutly
Do I need it ? No as I am useless in mixing and programming drums.
Do I buy it ? Hell YESSSS !!!! Just to support musician like Josh 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks! If you're useless at mixing and writing drums then this is ideal. Tons of pre-mixed presets and there's a MIDI grooves library included too!
Sickkkkkkk finally. Sounding great! 🎉
Josh thanks for making this! Appreciate your hard work and plan on buying it. Thank you for making it affordable and simple so I can focus on writing instead of processing!
Thanks! Hope you have a lot of fun with it
I hope everyone's enjoying these drum sounds!! Please drop this channel a follow too as there will be a lot of content going up here as well
4 year URM alum checking in. You nailed this (no pun intended) and I'm buying. This will be my go to in my template
Holy shit…this sounds insane
Sounds incredible, the customisation and transient control looks great
Watched all the videos and listened to the audio samples, just bought it 🤘 , every product you put out is incredible!
Sounds insane Josh! Will be purchasing asap. Stoked to get making some music with this drum library.
Nice. I'm sure I heard Pantera and Deftones fills in there too. Maybe Easter eggs? 🤙🏻
5 minutes alone and my own summer
@@dots93 yep!
Thank you Josh, just ordered this. Now part of my library with your STL Tonehub packs and Kemper packs.
This sounds really good. Great job! Im buying asap
Hope you enjoy!
These drums sound massive! I'll definitely be investing! the cymbals, toms kick and snares sound great. Awesome features too!❤🤘🏽
This sounds fucking awesome. I have always been a fan of your records... this is great. Also, that "My Own Summer" spot... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
6:18 Please don't waste that riff and do something with it in the future. It's sounding incredible!
Reminds me alot of Territory by Sepultura

Sneap vibes. Right up my alley.

Bought it and love it!
Sounds great out of the box.
Knowing how Josh is with guitar tone you know this has to sound killer. 🤘

It does have a bunch of grooves included. More MIDI packs are on their way too!

Goddamn man... I don't need ANOTHER drum library but shit this sounds good.
yes. you. do. 😎

Thanks so much. Hope you get a ton of satisfaction from it

Sounds great!
fuck yeah ima cop this! been writing to drum tracks but this will help so much with workflow. Josh tha 🐐
Hell yes! I will make a video soon on how I have my demo writing templates set up. At the moment, my go-to is the 'deathy kit' preset.
sounds really good!
