I'm recording a band where the drummer plays V-Drums. I'm tracking his midi for the pass through. My goal is to aim the midi at a sampler like Battery (which I have) or DFH (which I would need to buy), or if neccesary, just run the midi back through the V-Drums and capture the audio.
Does anyone have any tips for this? Any opinions on sample sets (not going BFD, I don't feel like dropping $300 for a pro bono project).
If you don't want to go too crazy, I would look into something like betamonkeymusic.com. You can get some very nice samples at very affordable prices.
Try giving J at apetraxstudios.com a ring or email, he has come samples that you can use for a one-off project like this. Tell him Justin sent you.
Thx Justin. I'll get in touch with J, see if he has anything that can help me out. I checked out betamonkey- it looks like it's loops. Am I just not looking in the right places?

Beta Monkey offers drum samples at drumwerks.com now.

Running commentary: The drummer actually plays on TWO V-Drum kits, with two modules. This poses a new challenge because V-Drum units are apparently midi locked to channel 10. I only had one midi input, so I could only record one. Next week, I'll be bringing out another midi input, and I'll be setting up two separate tracks set to channel 10 to record from each input.
