Daily Fill #84: Superior Drummer Success
Summary: <br> <br> Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Daily Fill with our Owner and founder Richard Ducat! Every Tuesday Richard gives us a dose of motivation, guidance, life hacks, marketing tips, and more!<br> <br> <br> On today's episode, we talk about a little bug that's been in my ear for the last 3 years.<br> <br> <a href="https://www.toontrack.com/product/superior-drummer-2/">SUPERIOR DRUMMER</a><br> <br> <a href="https://www.drummersilike.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/drummersilikesuperiorwill.gif"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The infamous Superior Drummer has plagued me for years now and It's not the products fault. It's entirely mine.<br> Where do we start?<br> It all starts back in 2014 when I decided to pick up the Roland tdk11kv Electronic Drumset in preparation for the birth of my first Son Everett. I was extremely excited to get my kit and for weeks I waited for the delivery and I planned out my attack of drum covers and jams.<br> The Big Issue:<br> My kit finally arrived and I was SO stoked to get her setup and ready for jamming. After a ton of work and efforts to get it nice and comfy, I was ready for action. I set my seat up, got my aux cords, plugged my iPhone into the module, picked a track to play my drums too and grabbed the sticks. Upon my first hit, I was immediately thrown back with frustration as the snare sounded like a pair of dish pans smacking a tennis ball court. This kit sounded so fake and so computerized that I could barely get through the jam session. My only fix was to turn up the music mix, drown out the majority of the drum mix, and just feel it out.<br> The Fix: Superior Drummer is my savior<br> After years of frustration, I finally needed to find a fix for my drum module issue. I jumped on google and started researching mixing videos for the kit and although I was able to find a ton of information I still wasn't satisfied. As I scrolled down the youtube search engine and I came across this video.<br> <br> <br> <br> It wasn't the comparison of sounds that drove me to my conclusion of using Superior Drummer. It was the title that reminded me of the software my best friends used in college to write our album. I started to get so excited because I remembered the onslaught of drums, cymbals, and kits I could choose from. I just needed to get ahold of my best friend Tom so I could retrieve a copy of his license. This is one of the better parts of the Toon Track Software. It allows you to register it on up to 3 devices. This is perfect for say a group of producers looking to invest in their gear, a band that needs to come together for a tracking solution for their demoing process, or between a group of drummers like me that need to find a solution like the ones offered from toon track.<br> Superior Drummer X Roland TD11KVS - The Truth will set you free:<br> So over the next two years, I would come to rely on superior drummer for all my jamming and recording needs. The product's ease of use was so good that I was able to literally "plug in and play" my drums upon the first 5 minutes of my installation. This is probably the best part of the software as all it requires is a few simple audio accessories to get started. This was in my eyes becoming the best drum software on the market!
