How to find drum sets

[persist]

UPDATED 11/17/2025

Here are some helpful methods for finding user-created drum sets.

1. Use the forum search function to locate a specific drum set by name, e.g., STAX 4 octave piano & strings

• click on the magnifying glass icon in the upper right of the page
• type the string STAX 4 octave piano & strings and press enter; it should display this:

• Download, (in some cases unzip) and use the BBMO (or BBM) to import the kit. If you’re using the BBM, don’t forget to click on the Drum Sets tab and check the box to activate the kit you just downloaded.
• If you can’t find the kit, move on to any of the other methods listed below.

2. Click on this link (and then bookmark it in your browser); it has several sub-links:

Solution to the Missing Drumkits Issues

Persist has informed me that a number of my kits which have been shard with the Forum are no longer found when using the existing Missing Kits link or, at times, when using links from the original postings of the affected kits. To rectify this matter, I have gathered all of the kits into my Dropbox, and I am providing the links to the parent folders in this message. Note that this will be revised with links as the new messages containing links to the kits are created. There will be 5 folders at …

3. You could also use Google for the really hard to find kits; however, best results will usually come from the first and second methods (posted above).

4. The only kits I could not find quite so easily were the SUB-Standard Pro Plain and SUB-Std Pro PL Bass 0-31 kits which I use a lot in the songs I post; to find these kits using the forum search function:

• type Substitute and click on the second entry in the results

Here’s a link to the SUB-Standard Pro Plain kit

5. Some of the older kits were based on Premium drum sets which are no longer available from Singular Sound and in that case, you might be better off trying some of the substitute kits with bass in the 63-91 range.

Can we update the links above to ones that work in the new forum? The old forum is not displaying the above pages.

I only found one link to the old forum in this thread. If that’s what you were referring to, I caveated that link.

Shame about the old forum. Looks like a lot of good content was lost.

Substitute Standard Pro with Bass kits

This link contains both the 0-31 and a 62-91 mapping of a kit that can be used wherever Standard Pro with Bass is required. Generally, you will need the 62-91 kit. Standard with Bass used a 63-91 bass mapping. I have added an additional low D note. The sources document tells you where the waves were sourced.

Persist,
I’ve done all of the above and still can find: SUB-Std Pro PL Bass 0-3. I have purchased the Standard Pro and Vintage Ludwig.
Also, is there a version of Oh, Pretty Woman with bass?

Did you mean to say that you cannot find the SUB-Std Pro PL Bass 0-31 kit? The kit is within the zip file that holds 2 kits and a pdf file. All you need to do is click on Phil_Flood’s link, download the file, unzip it to your desktop and use the BBMO to import the SUB-Std Pro PL Bass 0-31 kit (or whichever one you need).

@tcalvin48

Also, is there a version of Oh, Pretty Woman with bass?

Here’s a display of the search results for Pretty Woman. You probably want the first one listed.

[tcalvin48]

got it, thanks. that’s the version I have of Pretty Woman (OPB), I don’t hear the bass if there is any. the drum kit is Vintage Ludwig. I must be doing something wrong…

@tcalvin48

I must be doing something wrong…

Try the other kit that was in the zip file.

[tcalvin48]

Persist, you’re really dealing with a Luddite here. I don’t see any drum kits in the zip file:
Chrome HTML Document
SNG File
MIDI Sequence
RPP File
RPP-BAK File

For the drum sets, you need to unzip the file from this link: (apparently, you clicked on the zip file for the song); Dropbox (click on the word that says Dropbox in blue font).

If you need more help, please DM me.

Thank you in advance.

Go back to the first post in this thread and follow the directions. Hint: “missing kits”—you’ll find the kit you need.

I can see where you get SUB-Std Pro PL Bass 0-31 from that zip file. Where can we find SUB-Standard Pro Plain?

I actually own the official Standard Pro, but this should help others.

To help others (and avoid issues as “search” drifts), here are the links to the posts to find missing kits and to find the standard pro kits:

• "Missing" drum kits from the Forum
• Substitute Standard Pro with Bass kits

Found by typing SUB-Standard Pro in the forum Search

Here’s the link to the kit: SUB-Standard Pro Plain kit

I’ve also updated my Helpful Links that are included with every song I post to the forum.
