Any Tom tutorials for Kick 2?
I just made some snares and kicks, now moving onto toms.

Merged your previous post asking the same question into this one :wink:

There’s the Mat Zo Kick 2 Drum Design tutorial showing how to get different percussive sounds with Kick 2.

This other course, could be applied to Toms as well if you use a Tom sample instead of a Kick as your reference sound in the click slot, it will help with general usage & tips about KICK 2 anyway :wink: ( this one is a free course ).

Assimilating Kicks in Kick 2 with Phil Johnston

In Kick 2 itself, you will find some dedicated Sub waveforms and noises that will help with designing Toms sounds, that should be a good place to start as well.

Thanks!
I did do a search on Toms and didn’t see my previous post sorry.
Hopefully “House” toms might define my need more than the previous post.
Appreciate the links etc. will look into them.

He’s doing Kick, snare, and Hi hat in that video. Sadly not toms.
I’ll explore the Toms category menu.

Yeah, I think it’s the best way to go and try directly with the plugin, the 1st part of the Mat ZO tutorial + Phil’s one are still good references on how to tweak the plugin settings tho, so still useful IMO.

But go ahead with the plugin indeed, there are 3 pretty good Toms presets that come bundle in the factory library, you can then deconstruct those and learn more about how they were programmed with KICK 2.
