    Thanks a lot for the great review @Dufful...Your performance and your mix are awsome...You described the most in and outs of the instrument in a great and very understandable way...Great work my friend...you Rock!🔥🔥🔥...And lastly a tip for all the users getting the default value of any control (because i heard you saying about double click in order to get to the default value)...if you use Control+ Click(windows) or Command + Click(Macosx) you go to default value...and a second tip...pressing Shift while using any control it becomes x10 times more analytic and it is way easier to go at any value more precisely...And about the Swing control...It works better with straight kind of grooves and the best position is about 50% where it swings in a very natural way...Usually a 100% value is way too much...Thanks again my friend for the great review!...I loved your riffing and your Mix 🔥🔥🔥

      @@StigmatizedProductions you are very welcome and thank you again for allowing me to review your fantastic product.
      And thank you also for clarifying the controls there. I will pin this comment to the top so that anyone reading will see it first.
      Again, thank you for this opportunity. It means a lot. I really hope this will help with exposure to the plugin because honestly you really deserve it. It really is an amazing plugin. Easily in my top 3 drum plugins!

    These are probably the most mix ready drums in the market right now, and it's really nice to see that this small company is getting more and more recognition, they totally deserve it 🤘

      @@constantinranis I agree 100%. It’s also great when a small company can come along and put features in that none of the other companies are doing. It pushes all companies to up their game.
      It’s also fantastic that drum plugins are getting more attention now just like guitar plugins. Now if we can get a few more really solid bass plugins we would be set!

    Great song. For me that kick had a super subby low end punch which is really cool and unique. I've blended that in in an album I'm producing and it made my drum mix sound a lot more expensive haha

    • @DuFFuL
      @DuFFuL  4 месяца назад +1

      Nice. It really does have a great thump on that kick. It really comes through. It certainly is unique as a lot of other plugins for metal go for a more clicky bass drum sound. I really like this one!

      Thats a really hard question. If I really had to decide at this current moment, I would have to say I like Ultimate Heavy Drums better but, I could see a time where this could change my mind. I think they are different enough that they both definitely have a place in my library.
      I would have to go with both of them being equally as good as each other.
