What is Reason Drum Kits?
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.
Forget Multisampling - This is Hypersampling
The Reason Drum Kits were recorded in acoustic environments tailormade for drums,
using the finest blend of vintage and modern technology. In order to capture all
the details and nuances of the featured kits, each instrument was recorded at all
possible velocity levels, from a variety of distances and positions. So when you
hammer out a two-handed snare fill on your MIDI keyboard, you can expect it to
sound more than realistic. All mic positions and velocity levels included, the
Reason Drum Kits use around 70 samples for one single key, which adds up to about
800 different samples in one kit! Giving you 11.000 drum and cymbal samples and an
infinite number of extremely versatile, extremely dynamic sounding drumkits that
are a joy to play. Enjoy.
Reason Drum Kits in production
Being a Reason product, Drum Kits 2 is of course fully ReWire compatible, making
it easy for you to incorporate your favorite drum kits into songs created in
other ReWire savvy software; just run Reason and the Drum Kits 2 ReFill alongside
your Pro Tools pop or rock production, and use the entire Reason rack as a
dedicated drum studio.
Load it all
Reason Drum Kits 2 takes full advantage of Reason's all-powerful Combinator device,
allowing for total recall of complex kits and everything that affects their overall
sound; mixer channel levels, EQ and effect settings and routing data are stored
along with the kits. This way, your not just loading sets of drums, you're loading
up entire drum mixes complete with levels, panning and processing - in a single click.
Producer Kits
A number of name producers and engineers were asked to use Drum Kits 2 and Reason's
EQs, compressors and effects to reproduce the secret working methods and signal paths
that shape their signature drum sound. Simply load up any Producer Kit Combinator
patch for that instant professional drum sound.
