- NORD DRUM 2 ACOUSTIC TOM SOUNDS

Anyone here have any drum set presets that I can load using my MacBook Pro? I downloaded the 3 user profile presets Nord has on the product page (61 sets in total, I believe), but I’m dying to hear what others are doing with their Nord Drum 3p. I’m really digging mine, but the one file of presets here won’t load using a MacBook. Help?

Dear Nord Drum 3P users,

I have 3 user kitbanks and I would like to share them with you for free. You can find many sound examples of the user kits and reach me on my Instagram channel: nord.drummer https://www.instagram.com/nord.drummer/

Cheers,
Vik

Hi community,
I started with the Nord Drum 3P a few years ago. I use it kind of similiar to a percussion pad in addition to my acoustic drumset. But I like the natural sounds and the good quality Nord distributes
That's why I choose the Nord 3P instead of e.g. a Roland Octapad or SPD-SX.

In these years I made a few researches for sound banks, created my own sounds, made sound revisions etc. etc. to get the possible best out of the Nord for my set-up.
So now its time to share this
Here are my 2 sound banks which are a collection of everything that matters for drummers I think - new arranged for practical use.

@thirsty_raccoon these are amazing. thank you

@thirsty_raccoon - do I need a Microsoft Computer? These won’t work on Apple?

To manage the NordDrum 3p sound you need the nord's software, available for both Win and Mac OS

See ... https://www.nordkeyboards.com/software/ ... 3-manager/

Please note that Nord Drum 3 Manager requires a MIDI interface.

Let it play!

I cant get any Apple device to work, but I did get a Windows to work. Ive downloaded your two banks. Will let you know how they sound. There does seem to be 39 kits in F. Is that what you meant, not 34?

Happy to hear that you made it work

It is possible that I have copied empty banks by mistake. Real kits should be 34 as stated in my preset list.

And by the way. I used some standard usb midi interface cable -> DigitalLife 1-In/1-Out USB MIDI 5-Pin
