Drumwerks: All The Drums You May Need

When you need to go pro all-in-one solutions may not at all be the best solution, that's a fact any sound recording professional will confirm. Simply, all-in-one is not the way to go: if you want pro results, then you have to work with pro sources - "S**t in - S**t out", remember?

So when it comes to drum recording, things are very-very tricky: it's hard to mic a drum kit such as to obtain pure sound and this is why drum samples have appeared. Either "drawing" drum lines in a MIDI roll or recording with triggered kits or even doing the recording session on full electronic drums...it all comes down to the samples you need to use.

Drumwerks USA are specialized in delivering you the best drum sounds in the industry and their latest release really kicks a**. The huge quantity of cymbal samples and acoustic drums looks overwhelming: almost 1.5 GB of cymbal/drum samples recorded in close-to-perfection conditions, all in all, the planet's finest choice of cymbal models - from Sabian HHX to AAX series, the acclaimed Zildjian Avedis and from the all-time fav Ludwig snares to the classic thundering Pearl BLX 24" bass kick.

The cool thing is that all samples are pure as no additional rooming, EQ-ing or FX has been used to color and alter the original sound. This gives you almost unlimited possibilities when mixing in the samples whether you are thinking of adding effects or rooming. Even more, both drums and cymbals have been recorded and packed in multiple variations, with different sticks, stick attacks and rolls thus offering you sample combinations not commonly available in other packages.

The Drumwerks samples are usable in pop, country, blues and even metal with absolutely no reserve; they're in 24-bit/44.1 kHz formats and will work on all major DAWs: Fruity Loops, iDrum, Acid Pro, Drumagog (coming soon), Reason, Ableton Live, ProTools, Cakewalk and Cubase. Packs' pricing ranging between $2.99 and $8.99.
