4 UNIQUE PLAYING STYLES

Each drum has been recorded in 4 unique ways. Palm hits play a full hand slap like percussion hit with a full rich sound. Finger hits are played using 1 finger and sound thinner when compared to palm hits. Stick hits are played using a wooden drum stick and achieve a sharper snappier sound. Mallet hits play a more dampened sound that is solid and deep.

Using a combination of all 4 playing styles you can create authentic and realistic percussion loops that sound like a real drummer would naturally play a drum.

CENTRE / EDGE HITS

Each playing style includes 7 hits for the edge and 5 hits in the centre of the drum. Each position achieves a unique hit unlike the next. Centre hits are solid and powerful. Edge hits twang and have a more resonant hit to them. All 4 hits in each position are truly unique and sound unlike the drum hit before or after it.
