Acoustic Kit 03 Info and Preview:

Acoustic Drum Sample Kit 03Very classic sounding kit, dry and with natural and expressive decays. Excellent kit for rock, pop, blues, and funk grooves, with its natural snare sounds and thick kicks.

Acoustic Kit 04 Info and Previews:

Another classic and natural sounding kit, with almost Motown sounding components. This would be an excellent kit for funky grooves, with its dry, papery snare sounds and low thick kicks. DW Kit with Zildjian and Sabian cymbals. 34 total samples


Acoustic Kit 05 Info and Preview:

Acoustic Drum Kit Samples 05Very lively rock kit sound. Kicks and snares have tasteful compression for the punch to cut through in the mix while the roomy air to the drums overall will allow them to mix in any track needing a live feel. The toms are tuned very open and have a lot of sustain, very reminiscent of rock and fusion kits of the seventies. Good for classic or contemporary rock, pop, or bluesy type material. Pearl Session kit with Zildjian cymbals. 62 total samples

**More Kicks and Snares - In addition to the dedicated construction kits, the CD also features 87 kicks and 157 snares taken from various recording sessions. These samples comprised a huge number of recording sessions and recording techniques. The sounds are also varied, from the subtle and subdued to the outright obnoxious - all natural sounds and no processing added.

**More Cymbal Samples - 106 (173 MB) total cymbal samples in this folder (in addition to the cymbals found in respective construction kit folders). These will allow a great variety of cymbal sounds (8 different cymbals recorded) as well as cymbal attacks (soft, medium, hard hits as well as different attacks of the stick on the bells, shoulders, and other cymbal locations).
