making a series of drum kits made entirely from the pulv (with no effects) for your convenience, each one following a certain genre this is lofi sample is not mine, just there for a filler everything is a preset, feel free to use it tell me what genre you want next

v nice! some ideas for your next experiments: re. the high-end percs (especially the hats), switch the filter to LP/HP to boost the resonance wherever you want with the frequency knob, while keeping a clear high-end (in contrast, the LP/LP will always muffle the hats if the freq is <15kHz). set the spacing >0% to HP the hats & remove the low end. and with the filter's LFO, the resonance can 'vibrate', which is especially nice for cymbals with long release like open hats

sea foam and the wind

another thing re. the cymbals, by tweaking the AMP env, you can create both open & closed hihats. and out of curiosity, why are all your pulv's AUDIO IN activated? i see quite a few people who do that, but i can't figure out why ahah

sea foam and the wind

re. the "kick" preset, the volume knob to remove the clipping would be around -19.15dB. re. the "kick2" preset, it would be around -9dB. it's clipping because you have all the OSCs activated and a strong resonance, but it sounds good here as it's lofi; just saying to keep in mind to adjust the volume when you'll be looking for a cleaner sound ;)

oldschool is what im looking for! :D

re. the snare, an OSC could bring the typical low end of that drum. using only the noise like in this draft is also nice ofc - it makes it sound very oldschool electro :)

oh wow this really helps!!!! i actually making some drums right now, so imma use this! ty sea foam!

you can also activate some OSCs, maybe set them to high octaves, and add flavor to the cymbals. if you activate the LFOs of these OSCs it can make interesting vibrations. since these OSCs are only additional layers, find the sweet spot by tweaking their individual volume knob

I like the snare, the kick is a lil weird but still a kick so that's cool, I also think the hats are good

The snare is very original though I think its offtune and needs tuning with a rasslebock on speed.
