Easily, the BIGGEST beginner drum compression error on programmed drums is literally using TOO MUCH. All you have to do is put a small amount of compression on your drum group. That's it. Many metal drum libraries come pre-processed and most of the heavy lifting is already done. You should be avoiding overcompression on your MIDI drums with 95% of metal drum libraries on the market. Full stop. Instead, here is a no-nonsense programmed drum compression guide along with some general MIDI drum compression tips when you're using software like EZdrummer 3, Slate Drums, and other pre-processed metal drum software libraries.

Klirrton Grindstein – The ULTIMATE Death Metal Preamp!! Order here: www.GRINDSTEIN.de Metal producer Kristian Kohle (Aborted, Benighted, Powerwolf, Hämatom, Eskimo Callboy) and KLIRRTON have teamed up for this dirty beast! Video editing my Mel Torres Introduction voice over by Scott of Chernobyl Studios ? Sound: ▶️ We are taking the dirty and fuzzy death metal tones from the 90s into the modern age. You can go anywhere from a ripping chainsaw to a more modern and tight sound with just a touch of grind. It can go from the Swedish HM2 sound all the way to 90’s Florida transistor distortion, but with modern fat low end and tightness like never heard before! A character beast with many dirty sonic possibilities! The ultimate combination of old school and modern! The pedal is intended to be played straight into the poweramp of a tubeamp with a cranked presence! (You can use it in front of an amp as well, but it’s not gonna produce the sound from our demo videos.) ? Plug and Play recording device and livesound: ▶️ There’s Kemper profiles and IRs of different power amps and cabs included. All recorded at Kohlekeller Studios. Using these profiles or IRs you can plug the Grindstein straight into your sound card. So it’s plug and play even without a real amp both live and in the studio! ?Effectloop to mix ANY sound with the chainsaw channel: ▶️ There’s an effect loop that gives you the possibility to mix YOUR favorite distortion pedal or tube pre-amp with the chainsaw channel of the Grindstein and there’s a phase switch for sonic experiments. Endless possibilities! So if you’re looking for something more dirty and charismatic than your everyday modern high gain, this is for you! BUT BEWARE! The GRINDSTEIN is ugly and fuckin dirty! ?Facts: ▶️ the ultimate death metal guitar pedal (inspired by producer KRISTIAN KOHLE) ▶️ two mixable channels (chainsaw and bottom shaker) ▶️ inbuilt boost (based on Klirrton’s Lichtbringer circuit) to tighten the overall sound ▶️ phase switch (flipping one channel) for an out-of-phase, super grindy sound ▶️ 3 EQ bands on the chainsaw and 2 bands on the bottom shaker ▶️ effect loop to replace the bottom shaker with ANY other pedal or pre-amp to mix it with the chainsaw channel. ▶️ handmade in Germany, only the best components used ▶️ included Kemper profiles and IRs of power amps and cabs ▶️ design by Svencho from ABORTED Big huge thank to Kohle and Klirrton for allowing me the honor of hosting this video for them!
