“The MuldjordKit is a Tama Superstar drumkit with all the bells and whistles. The samples for this kit was actually recorded all the way back in 2010 when I was recording / playing drums for the Sepulchrum debut album. When recording drums I always sample the kit in case we need a cymbal or a single drum hit here and there to patch up the recordings. It turns out that I sampled it so well that it can be used with DrumGizmo.” - Lars Muldjord.
The kit consist of the following drums and cymbals:
This should be considered a metal or rock kit.
This is me behind the kit with everything mic'ed up back in 2010

This is the MuldjordKit with reduced bleed. I've cut bleed down to 20% on all main close-mic's which basically means that you won't have to worry too much about bleed when using this kit. It's pretty much the same as if you had some really awesome mic's that only grabs the sound of the drum it is supposed to hear. I didn't cut the bleed in overheads and ambience mic's of course - all that is intact. Note: The only editing is the bleed reduce. Everything else is the completely raw signals coming directly from the mic's, as it should be.
All microphones are connected to its own channel when loading the kit in DrumGizmo. 16 channels total. Remember to pan the relevant channels to give you a better stereo effect.
This kit has some phasing issues between snare top and snare bottom, so remember to phase reverse the bottom snare channel, otherwise the snaredrum will sound really shallow.
