Selling people on a new drum sample library is tough, but I think I've created something unique that people will want to try out.

This is a 70 GB (uncompressed size) library with 3 sets of toms, 4 kicks, 6 snares, 5 hats, 4 rides, 4 crashes, 2 chinas, and 3 splashes. Recorded in a large room with 20 foot ceilings and a short reverb time. All files are FLAC, ReaSamplOmatic5000 format, 4 channels, 88.2 kHz/24 bit. Also includes 44.1/16 version.

Instead of using round robin, I recorded a huge number of velocity layers, 1 for each MIDI velocity from 64-127. Compared to other drum sample libraries, the layers are smoother and more consistent, and the tuning and playing are considerably better. I studied the playing of great rock drummers and strove to emulate their strong, consistent playing, especially on the snare drum and the rim shots. More details on the product page.

I created this library for an epic album project by my studio partner, after trying out various commercial libraries and finding them unsuitable for our purposes. In my opinion, the sounds are better than anything else out there.

Below are links to the product page, the YouTube channel with demos and tutorials, and the contact email. The full version is $50, and the fully functional demo version is $1. There's a bit of a learning curve, but it should be easy for Reaper users.

If you have a YouTube channel and you'd like to test and review the product, email me and I'll send you a discount code.

Sounds good, total respect to making this with RS5K, the work involved is not insignificant.

RS5K made it a lot easier due to the list-based interface!

70 GB, jesus christ, who needs that much data for drums?

Purchased for the hats. It is kind of a bummer you need an extra 10 gigs of the same sample content for the Kontakt instrument. I'm surprised Kontakt doesn't support flac.

Thanks! I'll be uploading a demo video for the Kontakt hats in a few days.

I was testing the kicks and wondered if the probability and round robin settings in the patch KK OR WB L are working as intended. I noticed the patch KK PR FB L doesn't use those settings.

Whoops, that's an error. KK OR WB LR has the same error. Probability should be 100% on all instances and "Round robin" and "Remove played notes" should be unchecked. I'll upload a corrected version.

Thanks for confirming
