Realdrums by PG Music (Band in a Box drums)

Just wanted to know what you guys think about its sound...I am liking the Nashville drum sounds, particulairy the hi-hat, ride and the cymbal-sound. Not too sure about the snare.
 
Of course its lack of control and diversity makes them not the go-to-drums, but for sketching I guess it is not too bad...what you do think about them?

    I mostly use the Swing type Realdrums - if they are the same kit.. I think out of the box, the cymbals and hi-hat sound a little bright and need to EQ down a bit. The snare is fine, but the dynamics may need some compression, I too use it for sketching and demos.
     
    I've yet to try this, as I don't have Melodyne yet - I've heard you can use Melodyne it to extract drums part to midi and use a replacement library sound (BFD etc..) - that would be a great option if possible.

    you are right, I could try to do this...I finally need to get started with the Melodyne I have (I even upgraded to Melodyne Editor because I just can't resist a good offer...if though I have not used it yet )

    Yes you can take a RealDrum part and extract it to a MIDI part with Melodyn Editor. Just be sure that your drums are loud with no added effects and the Editor is set to polyphonic.
    Good luck

    The reason people say the vinyl sounds better is because the music was better.
