It’s comforting to know I’m not the only one who goes around visiting deserted playgrounds with a microphone in hand.
@baconpaul keeps mentioning this group in the Surge development Slack channel, so when they mentioned that this round was all about drum kit I jumped at the chance. I have been slowly amassing a collection of synth patches and field recordings for drum sounds so I decided to split 50/50 here.
There are some “normal” drum sounds made in Surge 1.6.6, and some more fun sounds recorded in a playground, a library, and an empty public pool.

My Surge sounds mostly come from abusing the built-in Reverb: at small sizes in makes impressive metallic resonances. I’m happy to provide the patches if asked but I plan on tweaking them a little more to formally release a sound set.
The recorded sounds were captured with Zoom handheld recorders and edited slightly in Reaper.
