Handy Drums- Power Rock

POWER ROCK from the Handy Drums plugin collection is a pre-mixed, sampled drumset tailored to power Rock ballad music productions or similar. The plugin offers album-like, produced drum sound quality right out of the box and is primarily for users looking for instant drum results. Tweaks to the individual drum components are accomplished using the included mixer. Each drum component sounds as a part of the drumset as a uniform instrument played in an acoustic space.

The style of drumset was inspired by the great Matt Sorum drum sound during his GN'R years.

As is the case with all of the plugins in the Handy Drums collection, the Power Rock comes with a clean, simple GUI offering essential functionalities such as drum mapping, routing, and other settings in a discreet, intuitive manner. That makes this virtual drumset very easy to use.

At the core of Power Rock's drum sound are the natural ambiance and the addition of HQ reverb, providing realism and character. The sound character of this kit is warm, full-bodied, very ambient with punch, and lends itself well to Rock ballads and other situations where ambient drums with longer reverberation are desired. What you hear is what you get- nothing more, nothing less.

In addition to the 6-piece drumset with cymbals (hats, ride, crashes, splashes), the plugin comes with a few sampled percussion instruments, a standard for Handy Drums plugins: shaker, cowbell, triangle, tambourine, handclaps.

The variable hi-hat is the norm with this plugin, but it achieves 6 stages of hi-hat openness utilizing only 2 notes (tip and edge) in combination with a CC4 controller.
