The included samples showcase various playing technics, and were recorded with great depth and detail, in stereo, and with as little ambience as possible to ensure maximum flexibility and usefulness. They are divided in 6 categories:

10 Rides
16 Crashes (using both sticks, plastic rods and mallets)
9 HiHats (3 sets of closed, foot, and open variations)
7 Piatti (orchestral hand held cymbals)
12 Long Rolls (using mallets)
8 splashes, bells and stacks (cymbals stacked on top of each other)



62 cymbal samples, (stereo 24bit, 48Khz wav)
15 IR samples (convolution reverb)
two Native Instruments KONTAKT patches:
1. main set
2. sound design set
Total size unzipped: 191MB



One of the included Kontakt patch is the main set: you will find all samples mapped across the keys in five separate areas.
The second patch is a sound design set: it uses various sampling technics (looping, pitching, reverse playing...) to provide new and original sounds.
