The sounds range from tight studio kits in the Modern Drummer collection, complete with a variety of industry-standard drum maps, to a pair of warm vintage kits suitable for jazz, complete with calfskin heads and recorded with vintage mics. All were recorded, of course, at the legendary Abbey Road studios, and each offers a unique take on classic drum sounds from different eras.
#Bfd3 vs superior drummer series
This series of acoustic drums kits is comprised of six different collections-Modern, Vintage, and 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s kits-which are available separately for Kontakt/Kontakt Player 5, or bundled with Komplete. So many virtual instruments use Native Instrument’s Kontakt (and Kontakt Player) engine, and drums are no exception, but instead of trying to survey all (or even most) of them, I thought I’d focus on one of my personal favorites-the Abbey Road Drummer collection. So with all that in mind, and with apologies to the excellent instruments I’ll no doubt pass over, here’s a brief look at a few of the top virtual Drum Instruments available out there. I won’t bother to suggest which is best, or even provide a ranking-that’s too subjective, and even people who have a favorite may turn to other options from time to time, for a little welcome variety. And all offer highly realistic drumkits that, in context, would be hard-pressed to distinguish from a live performance. They all also include a selection of patterns, though that’s approached differently in some. Most long-time users have probably already settled on a favorite, but there are always new musicians and producers coming up who have yet to form a preference, so every once in a while it’s a good idea to take a quick inventory of the current top-of-the-line offerings available, for all those desktop drummers out there.Īll of these instruments provide comprehensive mixing capabilities and the ability to tweak and fine-tune the individual kitpieces, and all allow the user to customize the kits with alternate drums and cymbals. There’s never any shortage of virtual drum Instruments, and those that set out to emulate the natural sound of acoustic drums get better and better with each passing year.
