--ful people and welcome t--
What's up, you beautiful people?
And welcome to Ola Testing Shit.
Today I'm trying out the Extinction Level Event from Spectre Digital.
Holy shit.
I'm finally back on the drums, how about that?
And all it took was for me to feel bad
that I actually didn't do the test earlier.
Because this was released a couple of months ago.
I'm extremely sorry, Glenn.
But I haven't played drums in like half a year or something.
I need to do this right now.
I need to take control of myself and my life, so--
What we're doing, I'm back on the drums, baby.
Also, I have this contact lens that is f**** me over.
I think it's folded or something.
But that's OK, that makes me more pissed off for this video.
And when you play drums, you need to be pissed off.
Hello.
Extinction Level Event is a new drum pack from Spectre Digital
the love child of Glenn Fricker.
The beautiful youtuber.
I use it together with Kontakt, which is free
to download from Native Instruments.
It's loaded up in there.
I can't see shit from over here, that's way too far away.
Anyways, I wanted to do a quick little demo of me trying out this drum pack.
Hope you'll enjoy it.
First I have to take on my hearings aids.
Because I'm deaf.
Alright, this is what you get when you open up the--
sound pack from Spectre Digital.
And this is the first preset.
I can't see what it says... Jordon Beal.
Modern Metal, OK.
I'm into modern metal, let's go.
Oh.
Why is the splash here?
I'm playing this through my Roland TD17 kit.
With an added...
little cymbal right there.
It comes with 2 crash cymbals and the ride.
But I bought an additional pad, so...
As you can see, there's a lot more cymbals in the app itself.
OK, the rims are not programmed.
We have...
A china, what's the other china?
OK.
Crash.
We got that, the ride...
That sounds pretty good.
What's this?
That's a splash.
Oh, that's another splash, huh?
Oh, it's that splash.
OK.
We're good to go.
I'm such a pro.
Those extra hits,
that's a mistrigger, it's not me.
It's a problem.
With the kit.
I'm such a good drummer, f**** me.
That's the first preset, I think that sounds pretty f**** sick.
The point with this drum pack
is that it's supposed to sound very real.
Does that make sense?
This is hard rock.
I'm good with hard rock, let's go.
I really like the kick, man.
Glenn Fricker's metal.
Dude...
That really reminds me of an Andy Sneap snare.
Dude, I'm ashamed, holy shit.
Why am I demoing this?
There's nothing wrong with the sounds.
The problem is me, man... OK.
90s rock dry.
That is dry.
I can't take myself seriously, man.
Modern rock.
OK.
Big and roomy.
Alright, those were the presets right off the bat.
Let's go back to the first one.
If we press this "Settings",
you get the usual key mapping
where you need to map the different...
...parts of the kit.
To whatever MIDI key, so...
There are MIDI map presets as well, so...
So I have the TD17, so basically it's...
You know, I can just load this up and it fits this kit perfectly alright.
Velocity curve.
I need that.
I--
Look.
Look at this.
Then I don't have to hit that hard.
This is great news, because I don't wanna hit that hard.
OK, let's go full-on.
Something's mistriggering.
Obviously, with the drumkit we can change the tom.
I think this is... OK, let me...
turn down that velocity a little bit.
Like this, so it's a little bit more normal, maybe.
OK.
Drumkit.
Let's change out the floortom.
Sonor.
Oh, so it's basically the same--
It's the same drum.
But with different heads, OK, that's cool.
That's f**** cool, OK, the snare.
That's cool.
I like that.
A little [...]
That's also a good-sounding snare.
Dude.
Ludwig.
Dude, I think all snares sound kickass, man.
Slipknot, baby.
No?
I was playing too fast.
OK, let's not play Slipknot.
You know, I made the latest SWOLA pretty easy
just so I would be able to play drums for it, let me try.
I'm getting sweaty, man.
OK, OK, Ola, hello.
I know you guys are just waiting for Pantera.
I'm gonna play Pantera, OK?
Dude, I really like the kick and the snare.
Oh, cool, that's a completely, like, room kit.
That's cool, so you can mix that in, if you want.
Dude, that sounds kickass, I like that.
That's where it's at, everything at max.
Oh.
Legit.
Alright.
Maybe because this sounds so much like Andy Sneap,
I need to find something Andy Sneap-ish.
Oh, dude.
Are you working out?
One would think.
My heart rate is at like f****.
Oh my god, I'm not gonna let you guys listen to any more of my bullshit.
There you go.
That's the Extinction Level Event drumkit for you right there.
Obviously you don't need a drumkit like this, sitting and playing.
You can just throw it in your MIDI project, or whatever you have.
I'm Ola Englund, hope you enjoyed my video.
Maybe put a thumbs up.
Like and subscribe.
And maybe I'll see you in a drumming video again.
In one or two years... OK.
Great, goodbye.
