DeadBeat is a dampened kit in a 60s/70s pop style. Based around a 3-ply '70s Ludwig kit with a selection of vintage Zildjian cymbals, Ludwig and Premier snares. Deadbeat will do the Abbey Road tea-towel thing, and is also great for dry Funk and RnB, contemporary Folk and Indie, Pop, and a whole lot more.

Three snares, two separate pairs of toms (dead, and buried) for two different levels of dampening, and three kick drum options give you a heap of options for finding the tones that work best for your track. The kit was sampled at The Manor through a selection of fine vintage and modern recording pieces, finished with an outboard singal chain.

Features:
- Multi-sampling: each kit component contains up to 7 velocity layers for expressive detail, dynamics and realism - check the details at the bottom of this page.
- Round-robin: natural performance with 6x round-robin hits for every zone.
- Switchable instruments: 3x kick variations, 2x tom dampening variations, 3x swappable snares.
- Mic layers: 6x individually controllable mic layers: Close mics, Mono Overhead, Two room mics, Kick Sub, and Snare-Bottom
- eKit mode: switch to 'eKit' mode when using a Roland V-Drum kit, or leave set to 'Keyboard mode' for direct MIDI sequencing. The layout is General MIDI (GM) compatible.
- Output routing: stereo and multi-channel output versions provided.
- Dynamic Range control: increase the sensitivity of the kit for more intricate and subtle performances or leave it set to full dynamic range for heavier tracks.
- Presets: for quickly accessing different sounds.
