Vinny Appice Drums for BFD out

https://www.esoundz.com/s...t-for-bfd2-3/5448.html

Whoa.... I'm in. One of my absolute favorite drummers! He may not be Neal Peart, but he's got a style all his own, and he friggin beats the crap out of his kit! I'm sooo getting this! Thank you for posting this!

I heard they had a new kit coming! And my ePointz can be used with the sale price for a total cost of $37.75.
 
SCORE! :)

That math was pretty accurate for me too having seen Dio on the Last in Line tour. Short answer: buy it.

The demos sound really good but I wish they'd give more info about the kit and how it was recorded.
I bought the Neil Pert kits and was really disappointed to find there were no direct mic channels for the cymbals.
It's little things like that that make a big difference.

Hi Steve - I have the Neil Peart kit up right now, and I see all cymbals on their own channel in BFD 3. Am I missing something?

Definitely no direct in the Peart and Epik Drums. Part of the story is that Ken Scott engineered this the way he did did back In the 70s to get the sound he was looking for.

But to be clear the Vinny Appice kit has direct mics on the cymbals.

But, you can replace a cymbal with something else and it still plays - does that make it direct?

 
Not sure what you mean by the above, by "something else" I'm guessing you mean another cymbal/kit piece?
If that's the case then that just means the other cymbal/kit piece was recorded with direct channels too.
 
And what do you mean by, "it still plays"? What still plays?

My assumption is cymbals can have both direct and over head channels recorded, when you swap a cymbal both will be available if they exist through the appropriate channels.

If you turn off the overhead and ambient channels and use the direct channels you will find your replacement cymbal sounds but the other do not as there are no direct channel recordings.

BFD3 will always by default load a direct channel for any kit piece whether direct mics were used in the recording or not (even for a triangle). All the BFD3 cymbals and expansion kit cymbals I own have direct mic channels apart from the Neil Peart ones.
 
Some of the BFD3 cymbals have, Direct, Overhead, Room, Amb3 as well as 3 mono channels.
