Open the gates of the metal foundry and start forging your ultimate kit. Find the early blues-tinged sound of the late ’60s to the fragmentation of today’s music – power through thrash, death and progressive metal. It covers drums and preset kits for anything from hard rock to metal.

The Metal Foundry SDX was recorded and produced at the noted Atlantis Studios in Stockholm, Sweden by drummer Tomas Haake (Meshuggah), Mattias Eklund (Toontrack), Fredrik Thordendal (Meshuggah) and Daniel Bergstrand (Dugout Studio). Welcome to the metal foundry, the ironworks where the most massive body of drums wait for you to be honed, harnessed and molded into shape. The Metal Foundry SDX presents one of the most comprehensive recordings in the history of the company, featuring seven unique drum kits spanning 300,000 sound files of raw, single hit drum recordings. At the same time as getting SD3 I also got GetGood Drums Invasion (yep.BF drums madness) and GGD invited me to use a remapping service to convert my SD3 MIDI to GGD format.Welcome to the metal foundry, the ironworks where the most massive body of drums wait for you to be honed, harnessed and molded into shape. Re: MIDI mapping, hmm, yes, I haven't used any MIDI that wasn't Toontrack so far, in fact I only just realised that I have the choice to use third-party grooves. SD3 is bonkers, it really is a drum DAW - and I'm more than a little bit in love with it In my limited playing-around-with-it so far, I'd only thought of layering more center snares on top of each other, so, yes, that sounds like a great idea to layer rimshots, and I think that is more likely to get me the sound I was chasing! Why didn't I think of that?! Options overload I guess.

I've now acquired TuPRE, and although I don't have Pro-R, I do have the Arturia Rev PLATE-140 which hopefully can get me somewhere near. Click to expand.Thank you so much! I'm so grateful! SD3 has opened me up to a whole new concept of drum production so I've much to learn, and your tips are much appreciated.
