Matt Halpern Tone with SD3 – I´m on a Mission

  Hey guys,

  I love the Matt Halpern Drum Tone/Sound, especially from the last two Periphery Albums III & IV.

  Now, I put myself on a mission trying to get as close as possible to his tone, using SD3. Hold on, I know there is GGD Kontakt Librarys more or less offering exactly that but truth being told, I would like to stay in SD3. I do understand the source Sound of the captured Drums makes a big chunck of the final Sound, no matter the Processing being done to it afterwards but I am sure within the SD3 extensions there is Drums being rather close. I just love SD3 with its neat features, great UI and endless possibilities so much that GGD is not an option as of now – also I have spent quite some money on SD3 Products.

  I don´t wanna tweak the sound too much within SD3 but I rather want to find a drumkit (probably a hybrid one) that is providing the best source tone going into Matts direction of tone, then route it out into Studio One and apply the most treatment to it there. I´d be ok, EQing some of the instruments slightly in SD3, before routing it out into the DAW but things like compression, Reverb, etc. I would like to do outside.

  Now, why do I post this here? I am hoping, someone in here eventually has done something similar or was after an equal result. If anyone has any recommendations on which drums from which extension pack to look into, I´d really appreciate. Currently in addition to the core library I also own the Rock Foundry, Metal Machinery, Death&Darkness, The Progressive Foundry. I have previously heard from a friend that the progressive foundry is most likely the one offering the best source tones to get close to that. I think Nolly, the producer of Periphery also is a fan of  Forrester Savell who recorded the progressive foundry so chances are good, they do something similar here.

  Any input is welcome. And on a side note: This will be my first ever kit that I put together myself. So far only been working with the Presets. It is also the first time routing out into my DAW, so bare with me in case I don´t know much here 🙂

  Have a great day all
