Rayzoon has announced the release of BonzoPak for Jamstix, a meticulously recorded Ludwig Maple kit with head selection and tuning based on the habits of the 'master' (John Bonham). Rayzoon even included the kit played with mallets as well as snare wires off. A great part of the big sound is the 17' high recording room used but, thanks to the controllable ambience, you can also dial it down to get a drier, tighter sound.
The Pak also includes several Jamstix styles based on famous rhythms. As always, you can combine styles, drummers and sounds any which way you want in Jamstix to achieve an enormous array of grooves and sounds.

- 990MB of Ludwig Maple drums and Paiste 2002 cymbals.
- Up to seven velocity layers with three alternate hits per layer.
