SRX-01 drums demo ...

2 Nov 2007, 10:57

Hi All,

I thought this would help out someone trying to evaluate the SRX-01 drum tracks. I was fooling around with the Disco Kit on this (There are many more kits and sounds, and they sound awesome).

Here's the demo:

Bear in mind this is without any effects, and no tweaking the kit, just plain old Disco Kit on the SRX-01 ... Recorded into Logic Express 7.2 on my Mac.

I am not a drummer, so please bear with the total lack of feel

. Actually, if someone can give me some honest opinions on how it sounds, I might be able to learn something from it.

Hope this helps...

The SRX01 sound great, but i think the board was made for those who want to make real acoustic music. Try not to sync the drums you are playing. Neither loop the sound. If a song are 3 minutes, then you have to play 3 minutes on your keyboard. This wil create a more realistic feeling. (If you can play ofcourse

Keep on practice!

... IMO the drums in the SRX-01 are very frequency rich. Lots of detail. Doesnt work best for electronica.

I wish now that Id waited/saved some more and bought the X6. I have an XR, and use the Korg Pad Kontrol to beat out the rhythms.

What do you mean by 'not sync the drums' Camaro? There are about 6 loops, and they're each 4 measures long. Must try playing through an entire phrase in a single take.

All good suggestions though, Thanks!!

if you've ever played LSAD in Gigastudio 3, you'll know what we're missing in SRX.

If at first you dont succeed, then skydiving is definitively not for you.

"What do you mean by 'not sync the drums' Camaro?"

...I mean not to quantize the loop/sequence. Every real drummer play a little out of sync. This gives a more realistic feeling

I havent played the GigaStudio Sam. Mostly perform live, so S/W synths/libraries are out.
Camaro, I see what you mean by dont quantize, but what happens if you set the resolution pretty high and quantize? Wouldnt you get reasonably accurate playing characteristics? This is, by the way, what I do.
Im still learning about what a "real" drummer would do in terms of the grooves, drums used, high-hat usage etc. etc.

But thanks for the comments guys!!
