- Soft Drums fills the gap between jazz drum kits and dead 70's kits. Muted yet somehow still vibrant and expressive.

Go grab Soft Drums! On sale for $59 during the promotional period. www.jonmeyermusic.com/softdrums
Where/how will you announce if this goes on sale again? Thanks!
Nice VST Jon. Looks good! I was wondering, did you ever make that finger-drumming tutorial video you spoke about in this one? Can you direct me to it if you did please?
Beautiful! Jon Meyer for president! :)
Oh, this is the sequel of your nice "Soft Drums" I guess :) Cool!
I am indeed rediscovering your freebies such as Gentle Vibes and I dig them!
My kind of drum sound, I love that dry dead sound.
Also a cracking thumbnail :D
i want to make a drum sample pack of my kit. i have a 70s ludwig standard kit sounds great. except idk if the bearing edges are bad or if my hoops are bent. i can’t get the floor tom to sound good. it has the weird vibration that rings out after you hit it. i’ve tuned it so many times. the only time it doesn’t do it is if i have it tuned really high but then it just sounds like garbage anyway. but also that marching kick is sweet. i just got a 1920s ludwig marching kick 27” i just need to find heads for it. i’m stoked for it though. my dad has a ludwig set that’s all the same specs as bonhams, but i’m stoked for the vintage sound. nice mahogany shell too should sound sick
The sound is bang on, thanks for making and selling it!
Joel sounds like Trent Reznor if you don't see his face lol. I did at first as I was working on music. Great job though guys!!
Oh dang! Ben waiting for this. Grabbed it while watching. Thanks so much!
Bro…this is nuts!
I grabbed the free soft drums the day it came out way back and wrote several songs with it. I'd been waiting for a brushed drum sound of quality like this for ages! Huge appreciation for the work you put into this Jon.
Nice job John and Joel. As a drummer myself I appreciate the amount of work that has obviously been put into this. Congratulations and good luck with it.👏
I'm looking forward to this. I'm definitely NOT a 'beat maker', nor into EDM, but more into neoclassical/electronica. So always appreciating the softer side of drums/percussion....!
I’ve been looking for something like this since discovering your original soft drum kit. So amazing!
Bravo!
Good looking GUI John, looks like you've thought a lot about this one. Looking forward to hearing it in action
THIS is what I’ve been waiting for. Thank you for taking the time to make this library. I absolutely LOVED the free library and have used it for writing as well as in a few full productions. Can’t wait to get my hands on this!!
Bought it. Well done !
Love these sounds. This is exactly what I was looking for. There is no way I will pay $300 for Kontakt though.
Your Jim Dandy project made me a subscriber. I appreciate your style.
I just KNEW there was more going on with that compressor than previous versions of Kontakt, well done! Sounds fantastic. And the amount of work you put in under the hood (and hi Owen!) is remarkable and really well thought out. Kudos all around!
This is great!
These sound absolutely amazing!
Superb library Jon. So useful and very flexible too. Really fun to play!
Great job with this. Great sounds, functionality, and really slick interface doing a lot of work behind the scenes. Dig it.
Glad you like it!
Outstanding work Jon! Great attention to detail on that advanced page. Beautiful interface too.
Thank you kindly, Mike!
Incredible Jon and Joel!
Inspiring indeed!
You have sampled with very good quality.
Jon, you are THE most un-annoying presenter on UA-cam. I have tried and I just cannot become annoyed with your delivery, voice, style, etc. Oh, and the instruments? First rate. Thanks for making such good stuff.
Disappointed you didn't wear the tea towel on your head for the whole video. In other news, this is an auto-buy. The UI is no joke. Incredibly well done.
Luscious. Damn! Only for Kontakt!
Awesome! So happy to have found this… sounds great! Can you split it out to multiple channels, I’m assuming so just curious before I purchase…
This looks great! But I don't have the full version of Kontakt 😢
Echoing other sentiment in the comments here, is there any hope of a stand alone AU/VST, or a version that doesn't require Kontakt? I'd love to dig into these sounds!
I use the original Soft Drums on nearly everything in some capacity, I guess I owe you $59 by now at the least
I would definitely purchase this if it was on a different player.
What’s wrong with kontakt
@@marcusagain My experience: It's slow and buggy... and samples that sound fine on other players sound muffled when they're played in kontakt. You asked... sorry.
Would have definitely bought this if I didn't have to get Kontakt. Any chance in the future there will be a standalone for ableton or will you ever make it kontakt player compatible?
About to buy this; but I wish there was a decay control, especially for tightening up that kick directly in the interface.
EDIT: Any possibility of adding decay and tuning? I'm 5 minutes into playing it, and find myself wanting to tweak the tuning on the snares and the decay on the kicks. Really digging the sounds.
Just purchased, loving it so far!
One question though, the snapshots don't seem to load?
The down arrow next to "DEFAULT" doesn't do anything, nor do the left + right arrows on the same strip.
There is a snapshots folder and I was able to drag them and get it loaded that way, but only one at a time.
Is there a way to get them all in there so using the arrows would enable to scroll through them?
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong?
I need to make a video about this process. For now, check this resource...karanyisounds.com/how-to-install-kontakt-snapshots/
You might need to create a Soft Drums folder inside your .../User Content/Kontakt Folder
I know it's a bit of a pain, but it's the only way to get those snapshots loaded properly
Is it possible within the basic UI to set the kick to a different output for sidechaining?
Can you custom map this library to Maschine MK3, Novation LPX or other finger drumming gadgets?
I’m not familiar with those gadgetsc but should be able to as long as you can tell the gadget to have a pad play a specific midi note.
What is the kit?
Is this available on decent sampler
Are there any cymbals in the samples?
Nevermind-I see that there are.
Sorry i don’t get it, in free version of kontakt may i accesss to mix section of plugin or not? I am confused. And have this a map setting Standart GM ? Thank you
Hello ! I was looking for a soft like this for a loooong time ! Just bought it and tried (in vain) to make it appears in Kontakt 6 (Full version). I can load it in the free Kontakt 7 player but I don't get any access to midi mapping and extensive settings. I followed the instructions on the website in order to install it but nothing does the trick.. any way I can't get it to work with Kontakt 6 ? thanks !
Sounds great in the demo and been loving the free PianoBook version! However, at 2:45 you mention it requires Kontakt full v6 or higher but the website page's FAQs says it works in the free Kontakt player - could you please confirm which is the case? Thanks!
It now works in the Free Kontakt Player. The information on the website is up to date.
@@JonMeyer You're forcing my hand now then... 😉
What does the camera button do again? I use Kontakt but never use that. lol
it's how you access snapshots, which are basically presets
Sounds great! But...only for Kontakt Full :-(
Hi Jon, does your soft drum work with the free kontakt player
No it does not
@@JonMeyer ok thanks
can you make it for free?
This is not an NKS library? I guess you meant its not Kontakt Player compatible?
It does not have NKS support. It will not work in the Free Player.
@@JonMeyer NKS support and ability to run in free Player are two seperate issues. Just saying!
I understand your point. It’s extremely difficult communicating Kontakt vs Kontakt player. I try to make it as simple as possible, which actually ends up confusing more experienced users like yourself. But no matter what I say or how many times I write it on the website, I still get purchased from folks who have not purchased the Full version.
just for kontakt? so sad...
Hi Jon, just a quick note to let you know that your description link to soft drums has a typo (.comc) and so it doesn’t work. Hope that helps. That aside, great video and an exciting new drum VST I’m seriously considering…
Thank you! Fixed.
