Loopmasters proudly announce the first in a brand new series of multi sampled acoustic drum kits containing multiple velocity layers and round robin techniques that allow for incredible expressive drum performances. Whether you program up drums by hand or choose to trigger from a MIDI controllers the Real Drums series allow for perfect natural sounding drum tracks every time.

First Up for the Real Drums Series is a wonderful Vintage Gretsch Kit played with Drum Sticks meticulously recorded at Broadoak Studios by producer Harvey Summers, using an eclectic array of stunning vintage mics and equipment in their wonderfully vibey and great sounding live room.

The kit itself comprises a 50's bass drum, 4 toms from the 70's and a custom shop snare, all from Gretsch and all finished in that lovely broken-glass glitter! This makes for quite a unique configuration and one that sounds fat, punchy and musical.

Our aim has been to produce an extremely playable patch with the emphasis on authenticity, flexibility and quality.  All samples are at 24-bit resolution and each and every Instrument from the kit has been multi sampled with up to 54 velocity layers with most sounds also programmed with an alternative sampled versions which we have implemented into round robin layers within the sample patches, allowing each strike to trigger a different version of the sample which helps with convincing natural sounding beats and drum rolls.

All drums in the patch appear in both 'snares on' and 'snares off' modes mapped at different octaves across the keyboard so you can hear the snares rattle in sympathy with the other drums, as they would naturally. Or you can choose to use the 'snares off' versions if you prefer a tighter sound.

There are two versions of the hi-hat, one monophonic and one polyphonic. The monophonic hi-hat behaves like any normal hi-hat program where the 'foot' and 'closed' samples cut off the 'open' ones. The polyphonic hi-hat on the lower octave does not cut off any other samples which is useful when playing repeated 'opens'. There are also a few more 'semi-open' samples on the upper velocities of the 'closed' key for getting the 'gradually opening' effect often used in build ups to drum fills etc.

We have also included a looped sample of the room tone mapped to the F#2 key, this is simply the sound of all of the mics open, with nothing being played. Laying this underneath your grooves helps give the effect of a live drum recording as it prevents the natural room tone from disappearing between hits.

Towards the top of the keyboard, there are a range of 'buzz' and 'press' rolls of varying speeds and duration which make great additions to a groove, adding more of a played feel. You can also alternate between these to produce long rolls. There is an extra press roll on the F0 key which has a more definite attack to its first strike which offers a slightly different articulation.

You will also notice a second patch 'snares in C', which is simply the same as the main patch, but with all snare samples tuned up a little to ring with a 'C' note. Since the Gretsch kit is so musical sounding, and the custom shop snare has such a distinctive voice, this patch may blend better with your productions as the main, natural tuning is closer to a 'B' note.
