Muted Tom 1 shot samples.

I tried putting it through a filter before, but I didn't try the release at all. Hmmm... cheers for the tip matey.

The thing that bugs me about Toms is that "duUUUuuung" sound. My little brother is a drummer and we were yapping about drums and he showed me the toms with the mute ring. It sounds so nice.

Yeah, I know what you mean, I`ve been drumming since I was a wee nipper, and it is hard to get a good "real" drum sound.

TO make toms more attractive in sample form I just cut the release down, but also when I was drumming on accoustic kits (I use electronic now) I used to down tune my toms ridiculously. Sounded sexy.

Record your brothers kit.
