there are sooo many drum features to discover in pg products..
without useing other products...
..making your own drum patterns driving pg drum content and third party free drum sounds.....check out rb pattern maker.
..customise your own drum solos.
..building up your own huge drum sound custom library over time..
useing....
.....pg drum sounds youve extracted from genned tracks and content.
(i think its blinking fair that pg dont lock you out of useing their content in new ways.)
.....custom sounds of your own from household things.....eg water glasses tuned or say spoons or nature sounds..its endless.
.....check out computermusic.co.uk...for 20 quid you get over 80 free fx and synth plugins and drum plugins etc. you dont have to buy every month. i just would buy it once a year to get all the 80 freebies.
i use one of cm mag verb plugins on my lead vocs....its endless.
plus loads of samples n loops etc etc.
skys the limit without spending large on huge libs....so you can have roast beef n yorkshire lol.
(also check out all the sounds free in the beebs spitfire plugin.)

did you know you can get a drum solo from say a pg guitar rt ?
or any other pg rt ? lots of fun via tricks....no im not bonkers...lmao...its true.
just pm me for more info if you wish.

finally...and heres where you MUST be carefull not to disturb or change the pg directories....people complain they want more isolated drum stems...heres a way to do this...

VERY CAREFULLY COPY FROM THE PG CONTENT THE DRUMS WITHOUT DELETING OR MOVING ANYTHING..
ie copy to a new dir youve called 'my drum library'....mdl dir.
now in mdl play in windows the drum files and go carefully to the END OF THE DRUM FILE...and lo and behold what do we often find....ISOLATED DRUM SOUNDS...
load the pg drum file into rb and isolate and extract the drum sound or sounds from end of file...a crash or tom or fill or whatever and save in your own custom drum sounds lib your building.
tbese drum sounds can then be loaded into a free sample player plugin...found on the net...

as you can see like the famed knickerbocker glory...tres yummy...
there are a ton of ways to make it.
ps...remember there are more drum sounds in the free synthmaster and sforzando plugins in the pg content....and loops...and midi supertracks and of course playable real tracks feature now.
just experiment in realband with the things ive detailed. remember in rb you can gen audio and midi tracks...the creativity capability is infinite.

For more..read my tips in tips forum to save me typing oodles.
