I would love to see a reggae SDX. I know there’s an ez drummer reggae but I would love to see a new one with the sd3 quality.
There is a huge gap in the market for quality/authentic reggae drum samples. So many people would jump over this if it was done properly. The reggae drum sound is an art form for sure and not the easiest to nail with samples.
My wish would be for them to record it in Jamaica with Jamaican drummers (perhaps Aston Barrett jr) to get that authentic sound and feel. A tight dry room with a variety of snares. Snare sounds from dampened and fat to tight and crisp. There are currently no good snare samples out there with that tight snare Carlton Barrett drum sound that almost sounds like a timbale but with snares on. A wide variety of articulations need to be recorded for this particular snare sound in order to make it as authentic as possible.
Toweled toms and snares, crisp hi hats, and fat kicks.
The reggae ezx sounds and quality just don’t cut it for me. They sound quite thin and generic. Although I did have a lot of fun with those sounds for awhile.
Who else would love to see this happen? What would your wish list for this kit be?
