This topic is about Dan’s Analogue Drums SplitSticks drum kit, a user-created drum set for the BeatBuddy drum pedal.

Dan’s Split Sticks Drum Kit is a drum set based on the Analogue Drums SplitSticks drum samples (http://www.analoguedrums.com/details-ss.php). SplitSticks is a Slingerland 4-piece '60s kit with Zildjian cymbals played with HotRods™ split sticks for a laid-back and intimate drum sound-somewhere between the sound of brushes and regular sticks. Tracked through a '74 Neve desk and onto a magnetic roll of tape.

You must purchase the Analogue Drums SplitSticks kit separately. This Beat Buddy drum kit will not work without you purchasing the samples. Please honor the copyright agreement of the third-party kit and patronize our music industry professionals for all they do. Currently the price of the kit is $15.

Below is the full listing of the instruments and MIDI instrument number they are assigned. A MIDI song which plays on this set will cause the instrument to sounds when that key number is played live or in a song. For example, the note C3, MIDI note nunber 52 will make a crash cymbal sound.

This drum set will not change any drum sets, songs, or sounds in your BeatBuddy pedal. This drum set is an additive overlay to your pedal and will not destroy any settings or work that you have.

INSTALLATION

  1. On your computer, find your BeatBuddy workspace. On a Windows computer, this is typically c:\Users\YourName\My Documents\BBworkspace. This document will refer to this location as . The user name and the workspace folder may be different on your computer.
  2. Download the drum kit ZIP file from Dan’s DropBox at https://www.dropbox.com/s/upaiqc5xl5sy9 … t.zip?dl=0 . Use a ZIP tool such as 7Zip to unpack the archive ZIP file onto your file system. If you put the ZIP file in your BeatBuddy workspace and unzip, the files should all go in the right folders. You should see a README file in the workspace folder, the SplitSticks.DRM drum set file in the workspace/user_lib/drum_sets folder.
  3. Copy your purchased drum kit sample files to your BeatBuddy work space. The BB drum kit expects the samples to be in the file path \user_lib\wave_sources\AnalogueDrums\SplitSticks\Wav. So in that last Wav folder you should see files CSlingerLndKick22-DynHR01.wav.
  4. Use the BeatBuddy manager software “File > OpenDrumset” to open the SplitSticks.DRM file under \user_lib\drum_sets. Select the “Drum Sets” tab and double-click AnalogueDrumsSplitSticks to load drum set. Try a few of the existing MIDI songs with the new drum set.
  5. If you like the set, use the BeatBuddy manager to sync the workspace with your USB-attached pedal or the BeatBuddy SD card in your computer card slot.

Sounds interesting (no pun intended) any chance of a demo either video or audio just to see how it sounds?

Sure. Give me a few days to try to come up with something.

The Analogue Drums folks were awesome, very responsive, and impressed with the Beat Buddy pedal. They supported the use of their drum samples in Beat Buddy drum kits so long as no sample files were included in any distribution.

Great drum recording. I am happy to spread this to all the Beat Buddies. Thanks, Dan

This worked great - thank you for doing it!

This kit is perfect to tone things down for acoustic gigs - well worth the $15.

Your clear instructions also helped me understand better how BB approaches setting up the files to install kits, so that was tremendously helpful as well.

Hi Dan, downloaded the drum set and got it up and running. It sounds great with the Jazz songs but not so much with the country ones…any suggestions?

Does anyone know where I can find some samples of this the Splitstick kit?

I’m new to the BeatBuddy and on a step learning curve. I’ve installed the SplitSticks kit as described above although am confused by what this screen is saying. I’m not sure if the installation worked correctly.

How do use each of the different sounds for each drum?

Hi there,

I am new to BeatBuddy and on a step learning curve. I’ve downloaded your SplitSticks kit and had a go at installing it, although I doesn’t seem to sound at all like the demo files on http://www.analoguedrums.com/details-ss.php.

Not sure what I’ve done wrong. I’ve purchased and downloaded SplitSticks. I copied all the WAV files to \user_lib\wave_sources\AnalogueDrums\SplitSticks\Wav. I get the following screen, which appears to suggest it worked but the sound of the kit when I apply it to songs isn’t what I expected at all.

Help?

I was also wondering how it is possible to use some of the other kits from Analogue Drums, like Kingpin?
