DnB Drums is designed to be exceptionally brutal, and could also work for old school metal or heavy rock. It's using Gretsch toms, a steel Slingerland snare with a classic coated Ambassador head, and a 24" maple Slingerland kick! As an extra twist, the crashes on this kit are 'stacker' cymbals, explosive and trashy (the ride can be crashed and is unstacked). Hats are a Zildjian light/heavy blend. There's even a teatowel snare as an auxiliary, for those trancey snare rolls. DnB Drums is $29.99.
Here are some simple beats using this drumkit.
Here are some more, this time using my free Pressure compressor plugin.
You can hear it on this demo track, DnB Kit Assault.
This is the EXS24 track soloed, DnB Drums Only.
Other Airwindows plugins used on this demo:
Bass Synth- Nord Lead 2X, BassKit doing sub octave
Synth Lead- Density (FREE), BackWall (included with Verbs)
Everything runs though API pre- mic or line. Overs on the 2-buss are caught by ADClip. There's no other buss processing, and no processing of any kind on the EXS drums track- it's dry and exactly as it comes off the EXS24 sampler.
If you can make this free bass guitar EXS24 instrument, FlatBass, work, you'll be able to use the drumkits. (They go in Library/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments if you are using Logic 8)
