Description

Year 3 of dedicating a drum cover to Vinnie Paul on the anniversary of his death, and this time, I wanted to include his brother Dimebag Darrell as well. These two were a fucking force together and they knew it! Vin’s solid right foot and Dime’s thick ass heavy riffs made these two the gods of heavy metal in the mid-90s. I still will never forget the first time hearing Walk on MTV’s Headbangers Ball and listening to it non-stop in high school.

This track has been sitting in my “To Work On” folder since 2018. We’ve attempted to cover this song in the past and an old shitty copy is still floating around on Soundcloud somewhere if you can find it. 🤣😂 I am not posting it because it’s pretty damn bad. 🫣🤣 This time, I put in the work to learn everything on this song 100% properly but I did struggle with the double time section and did alter the kick pattern at little. Did you even notice? 🤘😎🤘

Now onto the kit. I’ve always liked my previous Pantera kit for the Drag the Waters cover. I threw that preset into this project but it wasn’t sounding quite right. The kick and snare were very close but the rest required some additional tweaks. This time I tried to stick mainly in The Rock Foundry SDX but did dip into the Core SD3 Library for some hi-hats and additional ride cymbal layer. This one came out way better than I could of imagined!

This download will be the complete Superior Drummer 3 tracked MIDI performance in .sd3p format created and played by me, as displayed on my YouTube channel, using the following Superior Drummer 3 libraries:

Superior Drummer 3 Help

All downloads from Red Gear Music will require the following:

  • Superior Drummer 3 Core Library
  • Any additional SDX/EZX libraries as noted on each product page
  • The latest version of Superior Drummer 3

The project will come as a digital download in the .sd3p file format.  Once Superior Drummer 3 is open, go to the File menu, then choose Open, and select the downloaded .sd3p file. All mixer settings, channel routing, channel FX, and MIDI performance will be loaded automatically.

Since my electronic kit has many pieces, I have used some different MIDI mappings than what your kit may use.  If you need help changing the MIDI mapping, I would suggest you take a look at the Toontrack manual here.

After you load the downloaded project file into Superior Drummer 3, you can save the preset to your own library for use later.  Simply click on the preset name in the upper right corner, then choose Save As... to save it your own library.

 

To use?  Forever!  Once downloaded, you have free-use of the project & preset to do as you wish.  I highly recommend you backup the project file in a safe space so you can access them whenever necessary.  You are limited to 5 downloads within 5 days after purchase from redgearmusic.com.  After 5 days, you no longer have access to download the project file again.

On each product page, you will find a Kit Details section which will show the exact screenshot of the kit used for that project.  You can hover over each instrument icon to see which library is used that make up the kit.  If the project kit uses a custom one-shot sample, this will be notated and will be included in the download as a .wav file.

Absolutely!  That's why I am doing what I am doing.  My only request is that you give credit wherever you post your content.  Feel free to leave a product review here and include a link to your cover!
