Let’s face it, it is as common place in modern recording as pitch correction, but is that really a bad thing? It is no longer the elephant in the room it once was, and the fact that it is common place is not a license to forgo proper tuning, or willfully capturing bad sounding drums. However, it is an essential tool for adding punch and clarity to an otherwise great performance, and a great corrective tool when mixing a session you did not record. It is also a much cheaper solution than booking another day of recording to re-mic and re-track a kit. Just to fix a flubby kick. Here are DrumSamples.com’s top tools (in no particular order) for drum replacement and reinforcement.Sound ReplacerConsidered out dated by many, this is certainly known as the grandfather to all transient replacement applications available today.
Still a favorite of many engineers who cut their teeth on it when it was first introduced, and though it has a limited feature set, it is still a powerful tool. It’s important to mention if you’ve never used it before, Sound Replacer is an Audiosuite plugin. Meaning it does not work in real time, you must apply it to the source material. You can trigger up to 3 samples per transient using their color-coded thresholds, blend your mix of source and sample, and alter the dynamics to flatten the performance. Stand-alone runs $299, but is included with other plugins as part of Avid’s monthly subscription service which in our opinion is the best deal. There is no sample library included but you can use your own source recordings, or anything in a.WAV format.Trigger 2 PlatinumTrigger 2 has some great features that set it apart from similar applications.
For starters, you can trigger up to 8 samples per instance of the plugin which allows you to include a dry single shot, overheads, and room samples to mix together for a realistic sounding environment. It comes with a good library however you can’t use your own samples without intermediary support via the Slate Digital Instrument Editor, which if I’m being honest, is a bit of a buzzkill if you’re looking to add your own recorded single shots from the session. Unlike Sound Replacer Trigger 2 works in real time. So, it can be used in post-production or live performance settings.

Slate Digital's Trigger EX drum sample library is a package deal that includes their next-generation drum replacement VST/RTAS/AU plug-in, Trigger, as well as the drum sample collection Steven Slate Drums' Signature Drum Kits EX Edition.
Final cost for is around $149.WaveMachine Labs DrumagogDrumagog was the first drum replacement plug in I tried outside of Sound Replacer back in 2008. It took less work to trigger accurately and the included samples sounded great. The newest release has a brand-new triggering engine for better accuracy and includes Dynamic and Random multi-samples.
The application is now integrated with virtual instruments so you can use your favorite software instrument without having to leave the plug-in. Like Slate’s Trigger 2, you can use the plug-in on live drums and it will replace in real-time. You can import most of your samples from commercially available libraries without issue. Has a sticker price of $199 and includes a 4GB sample library.Toontrack Superior DrummerSuperior Drummer is much more than just a drum replacement and augmentation tool for prerecorded drums.
Firstly, it comes with a massive 230GB sound library which can be cumbersome if storage is an issue. The comprehensive Grooves list lets you create a drum sequence for your songs with tons of tweak-ability ranging from the velocity of each hit as well as moving or inserting hits from the original sequence. Tracker allows you to import your session drum tracks for replacement but you are not able trigger with your own samples without manual workarounds. Also comes with a superior price tag ($399) if you’re just looking for drum replacement. However, the large sound library, sequencer, effects, and replacement (all included) are completely justifiable. If you’re just looking for replacement, Trigger, Drumagog or DrumXChanger (next) are built around similar technologies for a fraction of the price.SPL DrumXChangerThe SPL DrumXChanger is another well rounded tool for maximizing the sound of your drum recordings.
It’s Dual Threshold Technology does exactly what it sounds like, allowing you to Identify both the thresholds for Level and Transient which lends to very accurate replacement. It has Sample dynamics and tuning controls, a Dry/Wet control to dial in a mix of the source and sample recordings, and includes a 1GB sample library including 4 kits and the ability to load samples from commercially available libraries. Comes in at $199 for the full version which puts it right in the running with most of the others.

Slate Digital's original Trigger plugin already represented the state of the art, enabling a high degree of accuracy in triggering samples from recorded drum tracks - a common studio technique used to embolden the sound of acoustic drums by mixing them with sampled ones (or even to replace them altogether). Trigger 2 (VST/AU/RTAS/AAX) builds on the precision and features of its predecessor and is a free upgrade for existing users.' You use the plugin by inserting it onto a channel in your DAW and feeding it a drum track containing a single close-mic'ed drum kit element that you want to replace'Trigger 2 comes in EX and Platinum editions, the only difference being that the former includes a much reduced sample library. You use the plugin by inserting it onto a channel in your DAW and feeding it a drum track containing a single close-mic'ed drum kit element - so, kick, snare or tom mics - that you want to replace. The replacement samples come either from the supplied library or your own collection, and you can now load up to eight of them for velocity layering or simultaneous triggering, rather than the six of v1.Initial setup tweaking begins with the Detail knob, which should really be called 'Threshold', as it sets the input level at which the triggering takes place.
The Leakage Suppression feature is handled by feeding the target track into Trigger 2's left input and the source(s) of the problem bleed into the right input - useful in ensuring that strong snare hits coming through the kick drum mic don't get misinterpreted as kick hits, for example. The engine intelligently analyses the difference between the two to suppress the bleed on the target signal.Leakage Suppression isn't new to version 2, but the engine has been improved to make triggering more accurate, and the Sensitivity knob can be used to make even greater distinction between grace notes and bleed.

It's a resoundingly successful system - in our testing, it handled a snare track on which the hi-hat spill seemed louder than the delicate snare detail with aplomb. Take aim.The trigger signal can be further refined using the low- and high-pass filters, which are useful for rolling off general boom and rumble from loose toms and kicks, or for cutting out top-end transients from bleeding hi-hats on the snare, thus tightening the triggering accuracy. With a range up to 100ms, Retrigger is the final refinement tool, setting the minimum time that needs to pass before the next trigger event is allowed through, thus preventing unintended flamming and stray double hits.Once you've got your triggering set up, you can focus on the dynamics. As mentioned, each of the eight sound slots can be assigned a velocity range for grading softer and harder sounds. Each slot also has an ASR envelope and a knob for scaling the dynamic range of the replacement sound relative to the level of the trigger signal.
It takes time to set all of this up, but the quality of results are absolutely amazing.There's also an impressive new noise gate feature, driven by the detected hits but applied to the dry, mic'ed signal (which can be blended in with the triggered sound with a dry/wet mix control), enabling incredibly tight and accurate gating when set up correctly. Also new for v2 is MIDI input/output.While Trigger 2 might not be the most radical update ever (it is a free one, after all), it's on the inside that the big changes have been made. The precision with which it defines, captures and replaces drum tracks is intelligent and effective to the point of feeling magical.
