Rabea this is probably your best video in my opinion. Right now I’m a solo artist (guitar player) and I’ve been looking for drum samples that sounded good. Obviously the real thing sounds much better, but I don’t have access to a studio or a real drummer. Thanks Bea! Keep doing what you’re doing
RebelKicks1247 I record drums at my house, I’d love to collaborate with other musicians who need drums for free. I can send the stems to you and you can do what you want with those drums, including replacing/doubling with GGD. ✌🏼
Thanks Rocco! I was JUST going to Google to find out if the library could be used in Superior! I have the Kontakt Komplete software, but I LOVE SD3 so this is music to my ears!
@@RandyWillcox yeah dude they sound amazing! It's worth mentioning that I'm using them on SD2.0 though (with Slate Trigger), I'm not sure if the sampler in SD3 can load up kontakt/tci files!
@@RoccoPezzinThanks man! Yeah, you can still load third party libraries in SD3. I still have SD2 installed, but I'd be stunned if Toontrack had stripped that feature.
Thanks for the useful info on the Turbo function! I've been using this library for a while and had no real idea of what it did haha! I could just tell it sounded better
Try making a production with VST drums in the following way and you will be surprised with the result... Use GGD on multi-tracks and delete the crash, ambience and hit-hat tracks... Then open Addictive drums also in multitrack and leave only the hit hat and ambiance channel...Then look for real crash sounds on the internet and place them manually on other tracks. I usually use two crashes, so I open two mono tracks and put a crash on each track and I set the pan of one to 40% for L and the other 40% for R.....That way you will have a wonderful drum sound, because Addictive Drums is the vst that has the best hit hat and the best ambience and the GGD is the one with the best snare, kick and toms sound, so you will have the best that each VST has to offer and the result is surprising!
Duuude! Playing a kit with the plugin. Brilliant. This is what the others are NOT showing much of. I play drums too, so I don't want to watch all the free, given, rhythm patterns for a video. Great job Mate! 🤘😎🤘 M
how do you map the hi hats? having trouble getting them to trigger the right sounds. i have v drums myself. td 12 module and vh 11 hats. any info would be greatly appreciated.
Sounds really good but we still have a long way to go to replace a real drummer. It's not fooling anyone! A nice tool to have for demos and composition though! Great video my man, always a pleasure to watch.
I used to use Steven Slate drums, but I stopped using it that much because it doesn't give you the option of more toms and more cymbals, I currently have an electronic set with 7 cymbals and 5 toms so that was not possible to do with SSD, so now I have to move on, don't get me wrong SSD is what basically got me to use software for drums (I messed around with BFD2 when it came out back in the day but not really that much before SSD. I really like what I'm hearing/seeing here minus the Kontakt, I wish it could run stand alone, but maybe in the future.
Im wrtting demos for my band (metalcore, prog, djent ) ive been using ez drummer 2 on separated tracks with different plugins like ssl or smack attack for that punchy sound, although it sounds good ,doing that with multiple guitar tracks, bass, ambiant and leads is quite cpu hungry and get really unpleasant after a whille, will i get this to sound brutal and compressed even on a single track? Thanks for the video rebea!
Hello there!! This is Mat from Italy!! Guys we need help to understand how to fix Choke's issue with our E-Drum (Roland TD9 + TMC 6 as an expansion) using GGD INVASION or MODERN with LOGIC PRO X just bought few days ago.....BIG SOUNDS! AMAZING!..but what about the Choke?....please let us know something about as soon as you have solutions for it ;) Ciao!
So, I’ve seen a few videos now and it seems like each drum just as one hit which seems kind of ridiculous. Are there different articulations or is it always just hit in the center on every drum?
There are different articulations. That being said I’ve always thought that sampled drums have an inherently Unrealistic consistency with hits so I usually make extra effort to humanise this in my tunes
You can sort of get Superior Drummer 3 to overlay a live track, it just takes a bit of work. There are numerous plugins that can convert hits to midi. Do that, set the midi notes to correspond with the notes in SD3 and you're good to go.
Dumb question: (I’m a guitar player not my realm) do most people use keyboards with GGD? I can’t fathom blast beats and 16th notes on the keyboard but I can’t find a video of anyone actually playing ggd without an electric kit or drum triggers
Thanks Bea, been looking at GGD to hook up to my Yamaha ekit, but couldn't find a good example of programming the triggers. Sounds epic too any chance of uploading your presents anywhere. An could you tell me how close is the Victor kraken to a 6l6 jcm900 dual reverb, I know you've based channel 1 on a jcm just can't find mention of the model
Not the most expensive one, but still expensive. However you can use the cheapest one on the market to use it with this software, almost every single one of those can record midi.
@@gerryjamesedwards1227 If it helps, from what research I have done, the price comes in quality of the physical components (durability and limiting latency to your interface) and how closely you want to resemble a particular kit in terms of the number of pieces. You could use your keyboard or go with the craziest Roland Kit. But as Petar indicated, you can use this software on many options. If you are interested in electronic drums, Roland is a popular brand.
bro thank you for this video, I went and bought it. You said you managed to get your electronic kit to play through it, been messing around for hours and can't trigger the samples. Even though kontakt player midi monitor shows that my alesis kick drum is triggering C1, and the kit mapping preset "GGD" is also C1 for kick, it doesn't play the sample. Plays the sample with the mouse though! Like dangling a carrot in front of a very stupid rabbit
figured it out: in reaper there is Input:MIDI menu on the track and at the bottom is "Map input to channel" which has to be switched from Source Channel to Channel 1
Personally, I prefer Superior Drummer 3 compared to GGD. And this is coming from the biggest periphery fanboy as the next person. I'd argue you can achieve the same sound in S3 as these sounds here, and with the new Tracker feature you can replace drums easily and accurately. and plus every demo i've heard of this sounds the same. it sounds like periphery. which is cool but I'm not trying to sound like periphery, I want to sound like me, you know? I paid the upgrade price from S2 so they would have costed pretty much the same for me, but I went with S3. same sounds and with more tonal variety and way more midi grooves that come with it and available for purchase.
I tend to agree with much of this. Except, if you don't already have Superior, you're spending $299 for SD3 - then another $140-$180 for Progressive Foundry or whichever. I love my SD3 and the midi and I HAVE invested a lot of money in it. But if I didn't already have SD3, this would get me great modern rock drum tones for a fraction of the money. Just food for thought for guys watching who can't drop a few hundred bucks on SD3. GGD works with the free version of the Kontakt player so you don't have to purchase software to use it with your DAW.
@@RasmusAlmlundMusic Periphery's drum sounds are more pristine and clean, whereas M&M sounds were intended to be a lot different, especially from normal metal, with big low tunings, more "dirty" sounding things, etc. Moreso sounds like Nolly, than Periphery!
Slate drums addictive drums and ggd all must haves Id say addictive is in the lead but slates upload made waves pun intended and ggd sounds really dope I want an option to have it help me take a set pattern and blend it with another and such Polyrythmics
Rabea, please make a song out of that last riff you played on Riff Wars 3 where you went up against Jared Dines and Ryan Bruce. That riff was sick as fuck, man. I've never heard of anything like it and I SURE AS HELL WANT MORE! :D
gee gee dee

Love how everyone knew which song you were playing by just hearing the drums. 🤘🏼

It may be unoriginal but it would be awesome if you did the write a song in 1 hour challenge!
GGD is a fantastic plug-in. The Toms sound SOOOO good in Modern & Massive.
Yeah man gotta love those GGD samples! I personally use them in conjunction with Superior, awesome stuff!

do you track your recordings with superior on?
I really like the idea of the additional mixing to get it just so, that is pretty cool. The samples sound great too.
Do not look down, Meshuggah!
You sir, win the Internetos
3:35 are you... LEFT-HANDED? Damn! A lefty shredding on a right-handed guitar AMAZINGLY! 🤘🤘
Yony Gut1 I’m left handed but play right. I figured when I started playing. It was easier to get righty guitars and basses
I think it's just Ben's influence
Great job as always. Very informative and great examples.
Absolutely brilliant video. Thanks for putting in so much time for a quality tutorial like this. I'm excited to jump into GGD. Cheers!
You're a man of many talent.
Thanks for the useful info on the Turbo function! I've been using this library for a while and had no real idea of what it did haha! I could just tell it sounded better
You are played "Meshuggah - Do Not Look Down"! You Are very COOL, Rabea!
TIL Bea is left-handed... at least it sure seems like it from your drumming technique!
i’m a righty but i try not to cross my arms.
This is a GREAT overview - thanks, Rabea!
Triple threat - great guitars, great drums, great hair.
The part is Do Not Look Down by Meshuggah! Awesome video, man, cheers!

I wasn't 100% sure until the snare roll into it.
Wooo Meshuggah!!!
haha I immediately checked if someone else noticed
Awesom starter video!!!!
DUDE I DIDN’T KNOW YOU COULD PLAY!! HELL YEAH!! BTY YOU ARE AN AMAZING GUITARIST!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻👏🏻
Random trivia of the day, he was a drummer until he hurt his knee and switched to guitar
SD 3.0 can do the trigger thing, and it works like an absolute beast. You might wanna check it out. ;) GGD sounds glorious, still.
I have SD 3.0. Do you think GGD is worth getting ? Or am I good ??
@@stonybrain I think you're good. Just one of those is more than enough IMO.
They sounded massive, I can hear why you where stoked to get on with them. Great video Bea.
Peace!
Nice review. Is it possible to blend one-shot samples?
Really nice video Bea! Your playing was great and you showed off the features of the software really well too.
Listening to the new Toska album right now. …Fantastic!
Dang Bea! Killing it on drums man.

Damn your a damn good drummer Rabea as well!! Holy cow!
Finn McKenty is on board with GGD too & runs the Punk Rock MBA TH-cam channel that you should check. Great dude, great content/channel.
Just what I needed! Thanks for the video man
you're a good drummer i'm surprise really impress don't change it's perfect demo thanks
I'm hoping you will try the One Kit Wonder Modern Fusion by GGD
MESHUGGAH. Awesome vid.
how do you map the hi hats? having trouble getting them to trigger the right sounds. i have v drums myself. td 12 module and vh 11 hats. any info would be greatly appreciated.
I'm glad my dude's open handed...like me! YEAH!
CodyAlushin Well, Bea is left-handed so that helps.
Clean drumming brother!!!
This kit is just so fucking good.
Sounds really good but we still have a long way to go to replace a real drummer. It's not fooling anyone! A nice tool to have for demos and composition though! Great video my man, always a pleasure to watch.
Is that an E-Bow next to your Mouse Rebea?
Drum set is Roland ??
So cool that you play open handed like me!
Meshuggah do not look down?
Wow, are you left handed?! Even more respect for you as a guitar player now, haha :-)

Could you talk a bit about the e kit setup ?
first, wohooo! Nice Video!
Dude you have so much stuff 👌👏
About Fire by the Silos. It is like a movie.......an audio movie.🎸👌.......going to get GGD down the road
Isn't the first part from Flower of Life?
Nice drumming, man.
One of the best guitarists also kills it on drums? Well that’s upsetting.
Nice Sikth Tshirt!

Yes, you just set up kontakt to outputs in your DAW

Oh!
Thanks for the answer.
I've been looking for a drum plugin that I could use with my Alesis DM10x for two weeks.
Hi, Bea. Was your electronic drum kit very expensive?
Not the most expensive one, but still expensive. However you can use the cheapest one on the market to use it with this software, almost every single one of those can record midi.

If you're looking for a great drum kit, I'd look at some slightly higher-end Alesis kits. Hell of a lot cheaper than Roland and sound really good.
Thanks for the very useful input, I now have a place to start investigating.
Can u send a link brother
Now on earth are you getting the hi hat to fire correctly. I’ve been trying for months
Pardon my ignorance in this topic, but can this be used with Sonar, like, with a desktop PC rather than a Mac base?
The modern fusion now please
bea! can you do drum play throughs using ggd and your e drums?
Sounds insane! Is that a TD-6 kit you were playing on? Triggering and dynamics sounded great.
When you realise Rabea is a better drummer than most drummers lol
Rabea, I love your open handed drumming!
Well that's two 5150s. OMG!
Meshuggah- Do Not look Down!
Do not look down is that first drum part I believe
I need a better drum program and sample option. This video is good for my research or anyone’s research.

Sooooo what recording software does Rabea use? Just got a pc capable of recording
Spencer Iamartino he uses Logic, which is Mac Only.
Just curious, what is the electric drum kit that you are using? Currently in the market for one but have no idea what to look for.
Roland Td6 is the basic kit, but looks like he's swapped out the rubber pads for mesh triggers from a later kit , and I think I spy double kick pedal
Do not look down by Meshuggah?
It’s the season for drummers right now, my TH-cam subs are full of drums, SSD5, drum replacement vids and now this. What’s going on?!? Lol
