Alex Van Halen Drums or Snare sound?? Anyone do it?

[Joe DeNicola]

I’ve scoured the internet front and back with no success. I have the lastest, most updated SD3 on MacOS Big Sur 11.6.2.

Have any of you ever successfully recreated either Alex’s whole kit or at the very least, his legenday snare sound from the 80s? I tried but I am not good at that and it was morhping into the most horrendous sounding snare sound ever! lol

I would like to know if any of you have done it and would be willing to share your settings. If you haven’t done it, do you know where they might have some presets I can get that are good. I’d be willing to pay someone to recreate it honestly.

Youtube was not very helpful either.

Anyway, thanks in advance!

That’s a nice list. It’s not bogus either and reminds me of another forum I’m part of where they have a database with links like that. Anyway, thank you very much

Of course! Yah I bought the Spin Doctors one and am happy with it – though it is really large and I had to trim down the number of layers so it doesn’t take too long to load. I plan to order more. $3 each is a great price and they seem to be well done.

Yeah those are killer deals for those presets. I picked up a bunch. Thanks again for the lead.
