Search for “drum parts and its sounds” on youtube

here are some sample sounds, different sets will sound different
crash refers to a type of cymbal, usually used for emphasis, since its loud and sustained


snare drums generally sound like this, they have wires (called the snares) on the bottom that affect the tone


"kick" refers to bass drum, since you use a pedal to play it. It is the lowest drum in the set


toms come in different sizes, making different pitches
high

low

usually kick/bass drum and snare are used for the main beat of the song (along with the ride cymbals and hihats), with crash cymbals coming in for accents, and toms are usually used in fills, where the drummer plays something different from the main groove.

Almost similar to the knowledge I accumulated so far, except I've been using the idea of "claps" for kick/snare. Basically normal claps are kicks and soft claps are snares.

What do you think of this pattern compared to yours? I've also been strong on the idea of "don't replace hitnormals" but then you are using the drum hitnormal for the kicks meanwhile I keep the soft hitnormal and add a clap addition for the kick.

Also very new to hitsounding/mapping so I was trying to find an initial good style that the majority uses and so far I've settled on that style but I'd love to learn what others are doing and their reasons for doing so.

every style of hitsounding sucks in some way u just have to pick ur poison

if u put both kicks and snares on claps, players with the same clap in every sampleset in their skin will get odd feedback

if u put a kick (or anything, really) on a hitnormal, it just doesn't exist for most players and if it isn't a loud sample it destroys feedback for anyone that doesn't have hitsounds disabled

if u put kicks anywhere else u cant use them properly

the entire system is broken you just can't win

There is a bunch of ppl who use different sample set claps to differentiate snare from kick which is definitely fine.
The reason I say say dont switch hitnormal and then use drumhitnormal it's a: its easier since its very common b: there is often times where i tend to actually use the other samples of samplesets c: there is no good way of doing kicks

If you're like me and too lazy to add any custom sample that isn't a snare, then normal-hitnormal is great for kicks if you're in a soft section.
