About sample CDs
Absolute Drum Samples create an ultimate collection
of professional drum samples (make sure to listen to the MP3 demos below), carefully recorded, selected and mastered.
Two CD bundle includes more than 1700 top-quality drum sounds from six complete high-class drumsets
(Ludwig, Tama, Sonor, Pearl, Yamaha and Rogers), 14 hi-hats and cymbals (Zildjian, Paiste) covering
many nuances of drumming for the most realistic beats experience possible.
SoundManager sorting program
, with pre-filled sample data to let you pick the right sounds in seconds, is included.
Every instrument is recorded in a way that covers its most significant features and styles
of play. Also every hit was taken several times for better expression of different sound colours
produced by instrument. This enables creation of completely realistic drum parts,
almost unrecognizable from the ones played by a real drummer.
Several microphone setups were used during recording in order to achieve
different sound types (vintage sound, classic, with room), each of them can be used
for its specific purpose. Sounds have been recorded without any compression or effects,
giving you the most natural-sounding drums possible.
Drum samples are available in 16-bit 44100 Hz stereo WAV format. All samples have very short fade-in and fade-out
applied for trouble-free usage. For non-Windows users, you can also get it as Audio CDs, although without
the application.
Please be aware that these are NOT drum loops, but mostly single drum hits. (beside drum rolls and similar)
"Those are pretty amazing drum sounds you have there...
I was very impressed with the clarity and headroom on every single sound, and the way you guys have them set-up is pretty hip too."
Marinho Nobre, Sound designer / CEO, Warhog's Productions
"It does not matter what form of music you play, from bluegrass to thrash metal; if you are looking for the most AUTHENTIC sounding drum kits there are on the market, you've just found them. Buy these, NOW! "

About drumsets used
In our recording we have used equipment from some of the most well-known manufacturers.
Ludwig
The Ludwig name has long been associated with quality drums and
percussion, a tradition that continues today. Ludwig offers several
different lines of drumsets, however, we have happened to get our hands
on 30 years old drumkit, something like Led Zeppelin or Beatles have
played!
This is the sweet for all vintage sound lovers.
Tama ArtStar Custom
They have a reputation for creating great drums. What more do you need to say?
They have an extensive line of quality drum kits and snare drums
available and we have sampled their Artstar Custom kit which is another
example of Tama's excellence.
Sonor S Class
Sonor is another leader in the industry.
They are responsible for producing some of the finest drums available today.
The Designer Series, S Class, Sonic Plus, and Force 2001 lines are all examples of Sonor quality and excellence.
Yamaha Recording Custom
It is also one of the great producers. Its Recording Custom series is alleged to be the most recorded kit in the world.
Well, I don't know, but what's sure, we kicked a some neat sounds from it, for you to enjoy.
Pearl
Altough the Pearl set we have used was not one of the top-line, it has the fine, well balanced sound.
Rogers
This the biggest drumset from all that we have used.
What says it all - it has 24" kick and it really has the punch!
