How it's made
- Source
- two stick strikes on a snare, then one crash cymbal; 1 ms filtered stick excitations.
- Body
- snare membrane modes near 190, 304 and 412 Hz drop 18% over 25 ms; a 1.8 kHz rim rings briefly. Loose snare wires add 0.1 s of band-limited noise, separate from the 0.16 s membrane decay.
- Cymbal
- 28 inharmonic plate modes from 650 Hz to 10 kHz, with irregular spacing and diffuse metallic wash. High modes decay faster; the wash low-pass falls from 8-12 kHz to 2.8 kHz as the plate loses energy.
- Envelope
- snare hits at 0 and 0.14 s, crash at 0.31 s; 4 ms cymbal bloom, damped tail to 1.4 s. Every layer has a finite smooth ending; no room reverb is baked in.
- Variation
- seeded tuning +/-1.5%, strike strengths and plate phases; spacing, drum tuning, wire damping, cymbal brightness and choke time distinguish club, quick sting, low deadpan and bright splash presets.
| Parameter | Range | Default | Unit | Controls |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| spacing | 0.09 – 0.21 | 0.14 | s | Tap spacing |
| tuning | 145 – 270 | 190 | Hz | Snare tuning |
| tightness | 0 – 1 | 0.6 | — | Wire tightness |
| brightness | 0 – 1 | 0.55 | — | Cymbal brightness |
| tail | 0.55 – 1.15 | 1.08 | s | Cymbal damping |
| crash | 0 – 1 | 0.6 | — | Crash balance |
| seed | int | 1 | — | Variation, reproducible |
The source is reviewed and run by SonicBricks; agents fetch it as a recipe with sb. It is not published on this page.
