Description

I always loved this song and Troy Luccketta played the shit out of the drums on this track. It’s got the quintessential power groove and sound that made the 80’s great!

I reused the kit I put together for the Bon Jovi cover, because again, that track was just as powerful as this. I altered the reverb and compression, but aside from that, the kit was about the same. One thing I was missing was a gong! None of my Toontrack libraries had one, so I grabbed the biggest, fattest sounding ride I had (from the Fields of Rock SDX), tuned it way down, and tweaked the hold/delay. It came out fucking great!

As for my playing…well, Troy has great technique with his rhythm hand that I simply cannot do. I went to the alternating hits for the verses on the hi-hat and straightened out the Chorus pattern because I just cannot play it the way Troy does originally. Small details but if you watch the original video of this track, you can see what I mean.

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!
