Toontrack Drums – Two Original Tracks

[Phil Pendlebury]

Greetings,

Sorry I can’t edit the topic now there are 4 songs not 2. Also apologies for the BIG Soundcloud pictures, can’t seem to remove them.

I have been using Toontrack exclusively for my drums for many years and use no other tool for drums. The tracks are a mix of Superior Drummer and EZ Drummer 2. All are my own presets.

I thought I would post a small selection here in case anyone is interested and also if anyone would like the presets or to ask any question (or make any comments) that would be great.

nb. Some of the SoundCloud dates are incorrect as I moved some tracks around a while ago. For instance Underdark is not 7 years old, (if only those orchestral libraries were available 7 years ago).

All other tracks on my Soundcloud are Toontrack drums 100% apart from a bit of Battery for the house/dance stuff.

Man From Mars (original song – rock style):

Long Way: (original song – rock funk):

Shaaring Your Love (heavier rock, recreation of a song I wrote in the early 80s):

Underdark (short orchestral cue with nice drums after intro):

Phil:

This is great work, and not just the drums. The entire track from composition to arranging to mixing/mastering, sounds first-rate. I then dug a bit and saw your commercial experience and realized it would be absurd to suggest I we collaborate . Best of luck,

Steve

I’m new here, but I just wanted to say that that Man From Mars track is excellent. I’d crank that in my car all the time. Great work!

All well done, I like “sharing your love” the best of the three.

Seriously good stuff. I liked all three songs, but “Long way” really caught my ear, I found the verses and the chorus really catchy. Do I hear a little bit of Kings’X influence in your music? That last track felt like it needed a bit more air in it. Love the groove, but I’m a sucker for lots of dynamics, stops starts, breaks, drop outs, etc. (I thought it was the best one out of the gate)

I end up having a series of center-panned pairs of tracks for all the EZdrummer channels: if it’s from a stereo-mic channel then the two tracks are different, while for mono channels it creates two identical tracks. I have to pan it manually, and if I want to have it more orderly with the stereo samples paired within single stereo tracks, I have to route the pairs to new tracks and render these… Bluestacks TextNow VPN

Really  nice work,

Man from Mars – Very good song!

I really like the vocal sound during the chorus and the lead guitar sound is awesome (tone & playing).  I like how it gently fades outs and lingers a bit at the end of the first solo.  Is this real mic’d up amps or amp sims? It all sounds top notch.  Would you mind sharing some tips on how you get such a nice polished sound on the vocals and such?

Long Way – I like this right from the start. Really diggin’ the rhythm guitar sound and groove. Nice roomy sound.  Again, the vocals sound professional.  Excellent guitar solo. What’s your recording rig?

Sharing your Love – Definitely has a bit of an 80’s feel to it, but it also has some more progressive parts in there, a little Rush influence maybe. Lots of different influences going here actually. Like the bluesy breakdown in the middle section. Damn! Killer synth lead towards the end. This has a lot going on. I can dig it.

Underdark – As good as all the other tracks are I think this one might be my favorite of the 4. I like the dark vibe, the contrast of the orchestral instruments with the electric guitars, and the slowly building dynamics. Only wish it was longer, felt like it could keep going to me. Really nice!
