New Wave Drums

[Jovanna Ponder]

Thislisting includes a single drum.

PLEASE NOTE: These drums are made, in part, with the hide of an animal. Sometimes the leather will have colorations that are not perfectly white. This is because it is a natural object, from nature, being used. The goat was not perfectly white. This does not mean the drum is bad or imperfect. Thanks! We love you.

The ocean covers 71% of our planet. It is formidable in its vastness, and mysterious in that much of it - despite James Cameron - remains unexplored. It holds countless species that have yet to be discovered. The waves when mellow can be instantly grounding for a person wishing to feel in touch with their environment, a relaxing bond is formed between human and nature. When violent, the waves inspire feelings of awe and terror and are a reminder of the ways of the planet and the power it holds over us.

This understanding and feeling of closeness with the earth is not directly available to all people, though the ocean is large, many of us do not have access to it. For those who are landlocked, or those who can't get enough of our giant water, the Ocean Drum is a cheaper alternative than a week-long seaside vacation. Ocean drums are filled with ball bearings, when tilted the bearings roll together from one end of the drum to the other recreating the soft crash of the tide. Allow yourself to be freed from dry, mundane earth, jump into a mental sea, and relax in the balance of water and land!

You can hold your wave drum like the earth holds the water with the Meinl Frame Drum Bags.

Via Meinl: "The Meinl Wave Drums create the soothing sounds of the surf, with a great new feature: we sealed the little steel balls between two drum heads, one synthetic and the other natural goatskin. This means you can choose between two completely different timbres within the same drum. A sealable filling port allows you to control the amount of steel balls inside."

I used a drum loop from Sample Magic's "New Wave" pack that came with my purchase of studio one 5 professional under "Prime Selection Loops and Sounds". The beat itself isn't exactly what I wanted and as far as I could find there were no presets with these drums on Impact, so my only option was to make the preset myself. However, upon endlessly searching all of files relating to this pack in my studio one file explorer, there isn't a single one shot sound from this drum kit despite the fact that the product page for this sample pack states clearly that there is.

So I'm lead to believe that either my installation is somehow incomplete despite what my installation says, or that the sample pack itself doesn't have these one-shot files at all. Can anyone please confirm with me if this correct of it I'm missing some info on where I can find these files?

Each drum sound in the collection has been designed and synthesized from the ground up, using he most sought-after analogue synths in existence. We enhanced every drum individually on a sound-by-sound basis using our extensive collection of high-end hardware processors and sound shaping tools.

Going a step further, we additionally carefully recorded and re-processed a large collection of the drums through inch analogue tape, and 12-inch Vinyl; recorded via a classic Neumann VMS 70 vinyl mastering lathe.

Ocean Wave Drums play the gentle and transformative crashing of ocean waves, letting clients relax into the tranquility of being alongside the sea. Meinl and REMO both create excellent options for an ocean drums.

I think for ambient music especially, the pattern itself is not as important as variation via probability triggering and very subtle filtering or effecting are on some of the actual drum/perc sounds themselves.

What have you been happy with that you haven't had to put time, effort and patience into learning? I feel like I could say that I suck at making music, every aspect of it but I fully expect that to change based on the amount of time and practice I put in.

Octachron is one that's forever on my wishlist and I never buy. Having so many sequencers and drum machines, I always end up not buying. But maybe the best motive is exactly to try and use a common interface for all these drum machines

Euclidean drums via midi. Almost all parameters of each euclidean. A knob spare for each bus. Might see what turnado can produce so then Id have a turnado loaded for each multi out and a selection of effects for the sounds ( but to an ec4 ) Then I will buy a launchpad mini ( likely over x ) for transposing. In most cases its like loading a new sample. If I begin to make tracks. Id save drums in drambo, then maybe launch saves via midi. Sometimes whilst the drums are under a master effects chain of drambo rescan, delay, filters etc. Iv also realised I can use Drambo instead of loopbud. You have to have a controller just only for the drambo sequencer of a bass synth. You can then keep the edit green bar always there on sequencer. You can then clear sequence via midi. This way you can use a bass synth anywhere in a drum pattern, where as loopbud would record by bars. Ideal if you manipulate drums. Sometimes with euclidean though. The sounds always clash and dosent sound good. Maybe it could add a choke system. For scratch practice ( should I bother ) my volca drum is near my headache sound omni. Maybe the volca does have a scratch track kind of sound ( maybe not ) Will see what the bram and fac apps offer. Brams maybe different to sb drum. Fac might have a good quality to sample. Really need to see what a volca modular is like sequenced, when most is euclidean ( volca modular euclidean via ipad headphone out would be cool but dont think it can ) Buying an ipad mini mainly for shockwave and ripplemaker but thought why not just use volca modular ( even with shockwave and ripplemaker ) Without the extras. Samples, mic, radiounit. Its generally euclidean drums and a few euclidean synths like semi modulars. A bass synth free of euclidean and a pad or other synth free of euclidean ( both with own keyboards ) but with mononoke on its own screen. Seems like then the screens are just instruments. Quick music but you still would practice but it has the abilty to generally just make tracks as you go. Just need euclidean drums to not clash as much. Sometimes its worse. Sometimes tweaking dosent produce a clash.

Kick one snare two kick three snare four, turn on quantize, finger drum the shit out of some hats, quantize will make it usually sound fine, go nuts on some percussion, copy and paste to a few patterns and take stuff out in each pattern for some variations

Id buy the x instead of mini. Without knowing best apps for finger drums. Maybe fac drums will be good. Just cant set up an x for religeous finger drumming without twisting my back. So I guess launchapad mini or nanokeystudio will have to be ok. What do you reck? Buy an x in case I sell other controllers or just buy a mini and sell that if I need better pads? Tbh I think I will just buy the mini. The x will be too big, even as a controller.

This is setup by the way. Only yeterday did i move the faderfox but even other way. A launchpad is next to faderfox pc12. No way an x is gonna be ideal. If only I decided to sell other controllers. Which I dont think I will. Think these controllers but with a mini have more range.

Thanks. Will probably just buy the mini and forsake velocity drums. Do need the custom layouts but this system will pretty much have a controller per synth. Plus the x will be harder to stabalize even as a controller ( near the wall ) Will be a while before completing setup. Should just practice scratching and mononoke, until then really.

Once it sounds the same save it, copy it and divide it into 4 or 8 segments, and rearrange those segments randomly, however you want, until you find something that sounds cool. Keep the same quantization, keep the same general beat and tempo, just rearrange and shuffle the 1/4 or 1/8 chunks.

One you run out of variety, change the drum sounds. Then the time signature. Then the tempo. But use the original loop or break as your foundation and mutate it until it's unrecognizable. Remove a note here and there. Add a new note in an unusual spot, and explore from that foundation.

Doesn't have to be an amen break, but when I tried to rebuild that specific drum loop, I learned soooooo much about sequencing, because it's a tricky loop to recreate with a drum machine, but a staple loop of many genres that translates incredibly well when chopped and sliced.

FWIW, one might want to change the sounds anyway. Personally, out of the million and one presets that come with Drum Computer, I've still YET to find any usable sounds (you know, sounds that actually sound like drums lol!) Unless you want a kick drum that sounds like a cat coughing up a fur ball, an elephant fart for a snare, you get the idea.
