MuldjordKit

“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:

  • 2 kickdrums
  • 3 hanging toms
  • 1 floor tom
  • 1 snare
  • 1 hihat
  • 2 crash cymbals
  • 2 ride cymbals
  • 1 china cymbal

This should be considered a metal or rock kit.

This is me behind the kit with everything mic'ed up back in 2010

Important note on phasing

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.

Minor known bugs

Two minor 'bugs' exist in the samples of this kit. Both are probably rarely heard under normal use due to both being located in low velocity layers of the instruments in question. Thank you to user 'Roberto' for reporting these:

  • Sample “3-RideL” has dual-hits
  • Sample “1-HihatOpen” is empty
