OneShot and Trigger Layers

Each kit piece includes 5 variations of One Shots

• Direct - This is just the tight direct mic, to give you the power that only the up-close sound can give.

• Full Blend - this is a general use mix that includes the direct mic sounds as well as overheads and some room. This is a great overall sound of the piece.
• OH - this is just the overheads channel of the kit, which you can use to mix them in yourself with the direct, or add a nice overhead tone to your kit.
• Room - This is just the Room channels recorded with the kit, giving a great room tone that can be mixed with the direct and/or overheads, or be used as a great room sample to augment any mix that needs more umpf.
• FX Blend - This is taking the Full Blend to the next level, adding more rooms and more crunch, (or whatever else we thought sounded cool) just to have some fun!

Kit Pieces

Trigger Presets for all drums include over 7 round robins and rim shots at 125-127 velocity

Kick - 22” x 16” Gretsch Birch-Maple Broadkaster Kick

This 22” kick includes everything you need: body, boom, click, and thump. A very versatile kick that gives the modern kick drum sound. 

Snare - 14” x 6.4” Spaun 8-ply Maple Snare

This 14” custom snare offers an amazing high end crack that will cut through a dense mix with a warm and full low-mid range that gives impact and body from the drum. 

Firecracker - 10” x 5” Pearl 1mm steel Firecracker Snare

The firecracker is a high tuned 10” metal snare that lives up to its name by offering a lot of high end crack and snap. This is an ideal second snare for adding texture to a beat in between the strong main snare, or as a thinner snare sound to create contrast between sections of an arrangement. 

Toms - 12” x 8” Rack and 16” x 15” Floor, Shine Definition Series 7-ply Birch

These 12” and 16” toms are tuned to give the modern big booming tom sound. Offering distinct attack so fills stick out in a mix, while also providing a warm low end and sustain to give a large war drum sound that adds character and depth.
