How to get VDrums sounding like samples/drum machine?

[TK]

Hello all,

Im trying to get my VDrums to have a "dirtier" sound. I love the drum samples I hear on current Downtempo and Acid Jazz music and Id like to give my overal kit a more "processed" sound.

I have a Lexicon 100 box and cant quite get the sound with any of those presets. Im thinking more about automated LFO's that cut the highs (or lows) and maybe a phased effect too. Any thoughts or solutions out there?

Thanks, TK

Why don't you use the lofi mics in the cosm edit section.

JRcel: I dont think such an animal exsists in my TD-8. IS that a function of the TD 10?

Yes, if I remeber correctly.

I use the Boss guitar pedal 'digital delay and pitchshifter' - ok you have to keep changing it for different effects, but it sounds nice.

I also use a RAT distortion pedal that sounds excellent and turns the toms into a sort of drawn out laser zap, ok thats not the greatest description, but its the best i could think of)

I don't know if these things are what you're after, because the sounds aren't so much processed as 'f*cked up' (excuse the term). I suggest finding a guitarist mate who will lend you some of his kit and at least then you can find out if you can replicate what you're after.

I will be trying to persuade my guitarist friend to bring his Eventide Orville around to my house and see what it does to drums. Its apparently one of the dogs bollox effects units, and the price matches it too!! and if i can't get a good sound out of that then i must have plugged my drums up my arse by mistake....
