This occurred to me as I was looking to just put a single kit on my old MBAir that I can map for the Logic Drummer to play for writing demos....my current "templated" kit is one that takes about 7gb of RAM just to buffer....and this old laptop only has 4. So, hunting back through old libraries and expansions and such....
....and I'm thinking "WTF is wrong with me?"
Because, I'm a simple artist. I'm a funky folky kind of singer songwriter....who basically uses drums that just sound like an old vintage kit mic'd up well in a good sized room. I'm not Mr Slamming Heavy Rawk Kit guy....or....a guy who has his "metal projects" folder and his "40s swing band projects" folder.....basically, old resonant Gretsch or Ludwig or Premiere kit with nice sounding room mics? Done. So, why do I have so many?
Granted....these have been collected over a lot of years of doing this, but....why do I STILL have them?
A: because I'm a drum sample hoarder. Obviously.
Can I get an "amen"?
