Native Instruments Battery Studio Drums

Native Instruments Battery Studio Drums is a comprehensive, meticulously recorded collection of over 1.1 GB of acoustic drum samples designed for the Native Instruments BATTERY drum sampler. These kits are also compatible with the NI sampler KONTAKT.

The Native Instruments Battery Studio Drums sample library was developed in partnership with Yellow Tools and combines over 3000 edited samples of five studio drum sets in extraordinary sound quality. The recorded drum sets include drums from DW™, Pearl™, Sonor™, Tama™, and Yamaha™ with Cymbals from Sabian™, Paiste™, Meinl™ and Zildjan™.

Two BATTERY CD-ROMs contain twelve GM-compatible studio-kits, eleven chromatic kits, and three tom kits (from 8 to 16 inch). The sounds cover a wide variety of musical styles like Pop, Rock, Jazz, Soul, Funk, and more. Up to 16 velocity layers per drum (for bass drum, snare and toms) make the Native Instruments Battery Studio Drums highly playable, expressive, and authentic.

"Overall Native Instruments Battery Studio Drums is an exceptionally crafted drum library and a great entry into the soundware market for Native Instruments. Truly outstanding is the way that all of the drums sound and perform on Studio Drums, especially with up to 16 sampled velocities for the snares, bass drums and toms." (Top ranking: 5 stars out of 5)

"The conclusion on Native Instruments Battery Studio Drums is short and clear: d...... good. The samples are crisp and clear, sound very best, and are usable in a wide range of digital studio projects. I know it looks suspicious when in any online review the highest possible rating is given, but I give Native Instruments Battery Studio Drums a 10. It is just that good. Just as plain simple as that."
Audiomac.net, NL, 05/2002.

"The recordings are impeccable. Even uneffected kits sound superb an their own, while the General MIDI standard of each patch makes it simple to slip any of the full kits into your track. Left- and right-handed hits are often available - making for some extremely realistic fills and rolls - and the multi-layering makes each kit remarkably expressive." ... "This collection really is a beauty". Ranking: Ten points out of ten.

"Battery Studio Drums is a sparkling collection of ultra realistic high quality drum sounds, mapped to take advantage of Battery's multiple velocity layers. The result is a high level of expressiveness not often found in traditional sample libraries." ... "This collection emphasizes the realism of drum kits played in a studio environment, and are particularly well suited to Pop, Rock and Jazz, however funk, soul, blues, grunge, hip hop and big beat are also represented by their own kits.
