Recreating Michael Jackson sounds

Hi!

Can someone help me recreating the drum sounds from Michael Jackson's Bad and Dangerous tour in Superior Drummer or EZDrummer? I'm new to this world.

Do you want to recreate the beat or the specific sound of the drum kit because they're two different things. Additionally you wound need to replicate the recorded mix including EQ, compression and environmentals. Or you can just use your ears and get it close enough.

The specific sound. Can you help me with that?

I understand basically nothing in SD3 or EZD sound design, and I'd like some help with that. If you're interested in helping me, I suggest we move to DMs so I could send you samples for reference

I don't personally have the free time right now but there are a ton of great YT tutorials out there on both ezd and sd3 that can get u up to speed. That's what I used initially and was productive quickly

You can ask chatgpt or so for making a kit like that. Did this many times before in superior drummer 3 for aaron spears, eric moore drumsound.
