Alesis DM10 Studio Electronic Drum Kit You Might Be Surprised by Just How Much You Get for Your Money with Alesis’S DM10 Studio Kit ON TEST Alesis DM10 Studio Electronic Drum Kit You might be surprised by just how much you get for your money with Alesis’s DM10 Studio kit... MARK GORDON lesis are no strangers to electronic percussion, having produced such A pioneering products as the first affordable digital drum machine, the HR16, and the award-winning SR16 — released, amazingly, in 1990 and still selling today. Over the years, they’ve covered almost every kind of studio product, but you might not have realised that they’ve been a significant force in the electronic drum market for quite a while now, and currently ship nine kits. The newly updated DM10 Studio fits in just below the top of the range DM10 Pro, and includes the same RealHead drum pads and DM10 brain module as the flagship kit. Hardware The DM10 Studio comes with four eight-inch tom pads, a 10-inch snare pad and an eight-inch kick-drum pad. There are two 12-inch crash cymbals, along with a 14-inch ride and a 12-inch hi-hat. All the drums and cymbals attach to the new ‘Stagerack’ system, apart from the free-standing kick drum. professional look. The Stagerack is one of the ‘new for The only potential weak point would 2011’ features of the DM10 Studio, and be the kick drum, which is entirely free appears to be a significant improvement standing.

The typi- cal beats and flls are simple, most tunes can be performed with no rudimental knowledge beyond single strokes, and a large number of thrash song are based on easy, standard rock and pop song structures. There is almost no improvisation, little need for advanced 4-way coordination, and functionally speaking, reading and music theory are unnecessary most of the time. However, as simple as thrash drumming appears to be on the surface, it is not easy. The diffculty in performing thrash metal on drums originates not from an abundance rhythmic complex- ity or the need for an overly diverse set of musical skills. Thrash is challenging because drummers are expected to play at uncomfortably high tempos for long periods of time, while hitting extremely hard and maintaining machine-like steadiness. It also requires the ability to navigate feel changes, meter changes, and tempo changes without losing energy or intensity. Playing thrash in a stylistically consistent and authentic manner is as exhaust- ing and physically demanding as going to the gym or competing in a sport, and yet must be musical and com- pelling.

  • Cineperc 1.1 Manual V3
    Welcome to CinePerc v1.1! Cinesamples is proud to present CinePerc, our comprehensive percussion library. CinePerc comes in four parts; Core, Pro, Epic, and Aux. All of these instruments were recorded in excruciating detail at the SONY Scoring Stage in Los Angeles, and mixed by master engineer Dennis Sands. CORE The Core library brings you the bread and butter of the orchestral percussion section - generally instruments that were standard in pre-20th Century scores. This set of instruments will cover a large part of your day-to-day orchestral percussion needs. PRO CinePerc PRO includes many more percussion instruments for your orchestral template. In general these patches give you control over sounds that were more recently standardized in 20th Century music. EPIC CinePerc EPIC is the most beastly of the four CinePerc packages. This library includes enormous-sounding single and ensemble percussion patches to give your cues that punch they need. Trailer music composers will find themselves reaching for these patches first to get that larger-than-life sound. AUX CinePerc AUX is an expansion to the other CinePerc options that will expand your template along with your creativity. This expansion includes ethnic instruments, toys, and other knick-knacks to give your pieces an extra flavor. What’s New in v1.1 All Libraries: • Changed Patch List names to be better searchable by “importance” • Added 6db to all patches to make the full mix blend better with other libraries • ON MOST libraries (where we had keyboard real estate) Rolls were stretched to A# with no release, so you have an option to have a release trigger (playing “B”) or not have a release trigger.
