Description: The Beats Drum sample library was created by sampling 3 drum kits + 14 different traps using various combinations of drum heads and settings in an acoustically dead environment. The end result is a large library of drum samples with swappable parts that sound great regardless of the combination.
The overheads consisted of a pair of Shure SM81, bass drums were recorded on the Audix D6, snare drums were recorded on the Shure SM 57, and various local microphones were used to amplify the sound of the toms if necessary. A wide selection of snares was sampled: Ludwig Acrolite, Black Beauty and Supraphonic. Vintage drums such as Rogers Powertone (wood), Rogers Dynasonic (brass) and Slingerland Radio King. Modern snares from Mapex Black Panther, Pque Little Squealer, Pearl Sensitone Classic II, Pearl Chad Smith Signature, Yamaha Tour Custom, Ludwig Accent, as well as some cheaper snares such as Yamaha YD and PDP Double Drive.
Drum whales consisted of Yamaha Tour Custom, Ludwig Accent and CB. Different volumes were tuned and sampled with different skins, as well as with different levels of jamming. Plates – Zildjian A Customs (Crash, Ride, Hi-Hats, Splash, China), New Beat Hi-Hats and Paiste Ride Cymbal.

Take a look at that GUI……… red text on jet-black background…….. only one combo worse would be red text on dark blue. Seriously, those are two of the top never-do’s in the graphics field……. essentially impossible to read without getting inches from my UHD monitor. Other than that, this package had great potential.
