A real recorded drum kit
Drum parts now play one recorded rock kit: real cymbals, four toms, a pedal hi-hat on the beat, and every piece balanced against Guitar Pro.
The drums in the player are now a single recorded kit, a Tama Superstar sampled for a metal album, in place of a mix of old recordings and synthesised cymbals. Every piece was levelled against how Guitar Pro balances the same song, and the drum part is as loud against your guitar as before.
- Real cymbals. The ride, ride bell, splash and china were synthesised and now come from the recorded kit, with a second ride of their own. The crashes ring out instead of stopping short.
- On the beat. The pedal hi-hat played about a quarter of a second late, and the kick and open hi-hat a few milliseconds late. Every hit now starts with the note.
- Cleaner toms, and four of them. The old toms were distorted. The new ones are clean, and fills move across four drums instead of three.
