Handy Drums- Studio Standard

STUDIO STANDARD from the Handy Drums plugin range is a pre-mixed, sampled Yamaha Maple Custom drumset suitable for general music production needs. The plugin offers album-like, produced drum sound quality right out of the box and is aimed at users looking for instant drum results. Tweaks to the individual drum components can be achieved using the included mixer. Each drum component sounds as a part of the drumset as a single instrument played in an acoustic space.

As is the case with all of the plugins in the Handy Drums collection, the Studio Standard 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 center of this plugin is a natural-sounding, impeccably-tuned, 6-piece Yamaha Maple Custom drumset known for its warm, full-bodied drum sound. While dry-sounding in nature, this kit contains natural room ambiance and sounds on the playback the same way it did in the recording studio. The drum sound is punchy with a natural tom sustain. It is suitable for a range of contemporary music styles. Add your own reverb to taste to suit your production needs.

In addition to the 6-piece drumset with cymbals (hats, ride, crashes, splashes), the plugin comes with the full suite of sampled percussion instruments you'd find in a GM drum mapping: congas, bongos, shaker, maracas, guiro, timbales and more.

The variable hi-hat comes standard with this plugin, but it achieves 6 stages of hi-hat openness utilizing only 2 notes in combination with a CC4 controller.
