The Articulations
Most instruments are provided with a number of different
articulations
to reflect
the many ways the instruments can be played by a drummer - for example the hi
hat has six articulations; a closed hat (centre hit), closed hat (edge hit), fully
open, half open, pedal open, pedal closed.
In total there are
24 unique drum articulations
, each recorded with up to 4
different dynamic levels and with up to 4 round robins to capture the natural
timbre variation of the original kit. The articulations we recorded are as follows:
1.
Snare Centre
– snare hit in the dead centre of the skin
2.
Snare Edge
– snare hit to the edge of the skin
3.
Snare Rim
– the skin and snare rim hit together simultaneously
