Session

Deep Sounds

Different types of high quality drumsticks were used, the White stick, which has a more closed and velvety sound and the Blue Stick, with a smaller thickness, bringing a sound with more attack and greater brightness.

The library has an extensive dynamic range of velocities. All keys of the instrument were individually sampled, resulting in over 8500 samples.
