Brute
The power of the dark side
What separates Brute from other virtual drummers or sample libraries is the purpose-designed recording setup that was used. Comprised of three sets of microphone sets, Brute delivers a flexible range of tones for your productions. Creating a drum library that cuts above the dense layer of distorted guitars meant that different aspects of the drum sound would need to be isolated to give you full control. Virtual Drummer Brute comes with three unique microphone sets including Click/Smack, Grit/Dirt and Clean/Nice.
Click/Smack was recorded using vintage 421-style microphones and processed using world-class hardware outboard gear to cut through dense mixes. This is a perfect solution when working with compositions with lots of instrumentation layers to cut through and be heard, adding the energy and groove to your track. Grit/Dirt lets you introduce the character to your signal. Organic resonances and sustain add a natural and authentic sound to enhance the warmth and realism. Ideal for slower material that requires more 'vibe' and character, the added sustain can help to fill the gaps between notes. Clean/Nice introduces no colouration at all for a pristine sound that presents the drums exactly as heard in the room. Using modern, low-distortion microphones, the Clean/Nice setting is ideal for processing further with third-party plug-ins to achieve your desired sound.
Heavy
Feel the power
Driving your tracks forward, Heavy is a hard-hitting virtual drummer designed for aggressive genres such as grunge or rock. Punishing the drum with each hit, you can expect to inject your tracks with energy and movement in every groove, fill or solo. Loud, wild and edgy. Cutting through a wall of distorted guitars can be tricky, fortunately for Heavy, the powerful hits cut above the layers of synthesisers, driving vocals and thunderous bass with ease. Rooted in the sounds of the mid to late '90s, Heavy encompasses the vibe and character of West-Coast drums, providing the perfect bedrock for your metal, grunge, rock or alternative productions.
Phat
Beats from the street
Fusing all the elements that make old-school hip-hop so revered, Phat is the ultimate acoustic drum machine available. Boasting all the soul and character of acoustic drums with the precision and power of electronic drums, Phat delivers a hybrid sound that will get you on the dancefloor. Suitable for anything from hip-hop, R&B, Phat harness that signature boom-bap style, with an enhanced low-end and crisp highs to add energy and presence to your tracks. The dry and punchy tone of Phat is ideal for contemporary productions, creating an immediacy between your drums and the listener whilst leaving space for the main melodic instruments, vocals and effects you need to make your tracks shine.
Deep
The golden-age of funk
These drums run deep. Not only the sound but the emotion. Complex and intricate, Deep stands on the shoulders of funk and jazz giants with one eye looking towards the future. A hybrid of vintage classics with contemporary production techniques Deep invokes the spirit of '60s and '70s styles with the precision of modern drummers. Made iconic by musicians such as James Brown, Marvin Gaye, and Stevie Wonder, the airways in the mid-20th century were dominated by funk and soul music. Deep explores the soulful groove, heartfelt shuffle and roaring emotion that was frequently found on chart-toppers of the day. Suitable for a much wider range of genres than first may be apparent, Deep is ideal for pop, electronic or even alternative styles of music.
