First, I'll preface that I have not really used Kontakt enough to be even remotely cognizant of what I may be missing here, and this is also my first time using GetGoodDrums. I typically use Superior Drummer 3 for my drum sounds, and I have no issues whatsoever getting those drum libraries to work flawlessly in my DAW.

I've installed the GetGoodDrums' "Metal" sample library, and within Kontakt/GetGood's user interface (inserted as a soft-synth into a Cakewalk by Bandlab project), as I click on each graphic of the drum-pieces of the kit to hear the single drum-piece play back its sound, I can hear it just as is expected without issue. That tells me that everything is installed properly. However, my issue is that as I play back my prepared MIDI drum track, I cannot hear my GetGoodDrums' sound library playing, and it's as if it's not receiving the MIDI information from my drum track at all. I'm sure it is something very simple that I am missing.

So to recap: I can click on each drum-piece in GetGoodDrums, and the sound that I hear from doing so plays back as is expected. I've routed my MIDI drum track's output to Kontakt like I typically would using Superior Drummer 3, and I can see that my MIDI track is playing. GetGoodDrums/Kontakt however does not appear to be receiving any MIDI information at all though from my MIDI drum track, as the kit does not appear to play or react and the track's dB meter does not react. There must be something in GetGoodDrums that I'm missing which would allow itself to receive my MIDI drum track's CC information so that it plays as expected with the sounds from the drum library.

I'm not near my PC at the moment as well, but I will definitely check on this when I return home. I will let you know either way if this makes headway for me. Thank you kindly for responding to my issue. Fingers crossed!

Thanks, but that did not help me. Believe it or not, I started there before posting here. I've used Kontakt in the not so recent past though for Steven Slate drums and for Shreddage 3 (Hydra) and never had issues like I'm experiencing here. Perhaps treesha's helpful post above will be the ticket. I will post here when I find out as an update. Thank you though for posting that link at any rate.

Check the recorded MIDI events, to see what MIDI channel is present in the drum events. Then, make sure the MIDI channel lines up with the MIDI channel with the loaded Kontakt MIDI channel, and on the MIDI track. Do you have audio tracks set to get their input from the output of the Kontakt instance that has the drums?

Thank you all so kindly for trying to help a fella out! Turns out...I had to set that input for GetGoodDrums to "Omni," and to get my MIDI drums to trigger the expected sounds of the kit, I had to use the "GM" preset instead of the "Invasion" preset (which was the default for some reason) for proper drum-mapping.

So all said...THANK YOU ALL! I am elated right now and feel like an idiot at the same time for not even knowing how to navigate the GUI well enough to investigate things on my own. But, teamwork made the dream work.

You are AHEAD of the curve, by turning to the community for assistance. LOTS of good helpful folks here. Here is a secret - most of us here have learned too many things the hard way. The trick is to remember the lessons learned from making mistakes, so that you hopefully don't repeat them, too many times.

The tree symbol of our library represents the past, present and future. Our product incorporates the history of music culture, not to mimic the past but to let it inspire the next generation. This is why there is so much freedom to edit in Drum Tree.

Drum Tree is made up of various luxurious analog gear to create its sound. Unless there is a specific intention, I believe it is better to do nothing in terms of post-processing with plugins for the drums themselves.

Some kits even use up to 30 vacuum tubes. The photo shows the original custom box for Western Electric vacuum tubes used in some vintage kits. This adds a deeper sound to the music. But this is just one example.

Not only simple snare, but also includes cymbals, tambourines, and plenty of effect shots. There are also plenty of brushwork that cannot be used up even in Jazz kits, densely packed into a two-octave keyboard range. Of course, all of them come with round-robin.

I have owned products from Premier for a long time, and I often use the piano and wind chime products because they provide a rich texture. As a former drummer, I use BFD, SSD, Addictive Drums, and Superior Drum when producing, but I think Drum Tree is the best when it comes to pursuing the essence of drumming.

The library includes club mallets and finger hits and slides, with an array of custom-designed special effect instrument patches. Add on to that, an unlimited range of sound-sculpting options. Plus a bonus IR pack

The [FX] Sound Sculpt-tools allows you to extract small fragments of sounds and meld them into expansive, evolving loops. It can also conjure the delightful patter of raindrops or transform them into a mesmerizing, enveloping wall of sound, reminiscent of the mesmerizing qualities of granular synthesis. VST

The drums are crafted from hollowed-out logs or tree trunks and are played using a stick or beater. We discovered that striking two or three drums simultaneously generated the most resonant and cinematic sounds.

A sample library that stands on its own as much as Thomas does within the drum community, MixWave: Thomas Pridgen is as idiomatic and versatile as his own performances.

Thomas has become a household name for not just his incredible skill set, but for his ability to effortlessly master almost any style or genre; something his laundry list of credits can attest to.

Creating a library for Thomas required being able to encompass a diverse set of needs, up to virtually any task. Such a fantastic player, paired with the MixWave treatment, stands apart as a swiss army knife solution for even the most discerning studio ears.

We present to you MixWave: Thomas Pridgen.

A library of drum replacement files for use with Slate Trigger. Replace, layer, or blend with a live recorded drum performance using either the fully mixed or completely unprocessed drum shell .TCI files.

MixWave drums are not only great for composing demos, but are more than capable of sounding amazing on a finished product. I've never really been satisfied with any virtual instrument for programming drums until now. Game changer for sure!
