Reason Drum Kits 2 ReFill
Inta Audio highly recommends the Reason Drum Kits 2 ReFill.
The Reason Drum Kits 2 ReFill is an extensive DVD-ROM library of life-like, multisampled drum kits for Reason's extraordinary Combinator device. Drum Kits 2 is more than just a set of professionally recorded drum kits mapped out across your MIDI keyboard - it's a live drum recording session in a Refill. Reason Drum Kits 2 captures every aspect of the included kits: the drums themselves, the room surrounding them, the drummer, the unique sound of the mics and outboard used in the recording, the works. Reason Drum Kits features 58 unique Combinator kits styled for Vintage Soul, Indie-type Pop and Hard Rock, plus 96 additional ReDrum sets and an insane amount of inspirational MIDI files, effect patches and style templates.
Mix your own drums
All the instruments in the kits were captured at multiple velocity levels using multiple microphones - all of which are represented on separate channels in Reason's mixer, each time you load up a kit. So by adjusting the levels of the Close, Overhead and Ambience microphones, you can fully shape and control the sound of your drum kits. You can even add compression, EQ or effects to individual drums. Essentially, this is like putting a top-notch recording room, drum kit and drummer right into your computer. We've taken care of the tricky, boring and expensive work, leaving you in command of the creative parts: The playing and the mixing!
Build your own kits
Putting together your own personal drum kits using individual drums, hihats and cymbals from different kits is, naturally, a breeze; Reason Drum Kits 2 handles instruments and all their related samples and velocity layers collectively, allowing you to create drum kits containing up to a thousand samples with just a few mouse clicks.
