Check out Jamie Saint Merat from Ulcerate. Best metal drummer of the decade IMO. Janne is obviously a great player but Dominator was the best Dark Funeral ever had. He hits harder (especially the kicks and using single strokes) and has a more interesting, memorable style.

@@Vorgaloth Jalomah and bedene are the greats

Thanks Geoff! Gotta be my favorite toms... Hokkaido birch!

Origin Snow! It needs some tweaks to fit the latest reaper version but it's easy to figure out using the theme editor: stash.reaper.fm/v/4713/lf_origin_snow.png

Don't forget to record in the toilet for extra 'atmosphere'!

This is my thoughts exactly, would like an answer to clarify the technique of recording the kick

Hello! Good catch ;) In Janne's case I used the Roland RT-30k > Roland TM-2 (with his favorite sample loaded) > Octopre and did not replace the sample. I almost NEVER do that because of the latency from the trigger module. In Janne's case, he's used to working with that latency so that wasn't a problem at all. NORMALLY I would just go Roland RT-30k > Octopre > Slate Trigger 2 (in live mode, loaded with a sample that the drummer likes) and then send that back to the drummer. Hardly any latency that way when recording at a buffer size of 128.

@@obsidianrecordingstudios It came directly to my mind because I think it's not possible to achieve consistant triggering using the roland sensor into the trigger2 VST using double strokes ! I tried everything I could think of to make this work but the slate vst has this black box algorithm that is realy not optimised for real fast doubles strokes. You can sometimes see the signal going over the threshold and the vst not registering it as a hit, even with the release at minimum. Something the TM2 don't have any trouble doing with the very same kick tuning and muffleing. I had better result using AXIS eKit sensor into the trigger2 but it still misses some hit above the threshold. I am curently trying different VST that have the simplest algorythm possible, like SAMPLESWAP, but I need to experiment a lot more ! I hope I can one day find a VST that can work as good as a ROLAND TM2 ! Chers from france !

@@PierjanVadeboin I'm not sure about VSTs but if you're strictly looking for something to trigger your kick drum you might want to try the TrigMic laser kick trigger (if you haven't already). You can load it with your own samples and apparently it's the best on the market from what I've heard in terms of accuracy / latency: trigmic.com/en/product/trigmic-laser-pick/
