Native Instruments - Studio Drummer : computer software > instruments

	THE NEW STANDARD FOR DRUM STUDIO DRUMMER is the perfect realization of a drummer in software, with everything you need to create realistic acoustic drum tracks — top-of-the-line drum kits, detailed mixing options, and a ready-to-go groove library, packed with authentic beats of all colors and flavors.

	THE DRUM STUDIO DRUMMER gives you three premium acoustic kits — a Pearl Masters Premium Maple kit, a Yamaha Maple Custom Absolute kit and a Sonor SQ2 Drum System. The kits are set up with Paiste, Zildjian, Sabian and Masterworks cymbals, and snares by Sonor, Mapex, Ludwig, and Masshoff. To round things off, you also get percussion, with tambourine, sticks, cowbell and handclaps. All drums were painstakingly recorded using the best mics and outboard gear at Teldex Studios, in Berlin. The result: Over 17 GB of pristine, 24-bit drum samples, capturing the unique sound and responsiveness of the original kits.

	STUDIO (LET IT BLEED) Behind the glass, STUDIO DRUMMER provides a dedicated mixing environment. All drums close mic’d, plus adjustable snare bleed, stereo overheads, room mics for ambience and an additional mono mic on the entire kit. Mixer presets, with precision mic levels, room sound and effects, provide fast-track settings for a wide range of sounds. A high-quality studio effects section gives you warm tape saturation, convolution reverb and three big-league effects: the SOLID G-EQ, the SOLID BUS COMP compressor and the awe-inspiring TRANSIENT MASTER.

	THE DRUMER What good is an awesome drum kit without the skills to play it? STUDIO DRUMMER gives you the chops on a plate, with over 3,500 drum patterns and fills in a wide range of genres and styles. All grooves were recorded live especially for STUDIO DRUMMER, for 100 percent realism. Find the beat that suits the track you’re working on, choose fills and variations to match, then drag and drop into your host sequencer. And if you’re a drummer, just hook up your e-drums and you’re ready to go.

	KONTAKT 5 POWER The power and realism of STUDIO DRUMMER is made possible by the brand new KONTAKT 5, the world's most advanced sampling engine. No other sampling platform provides such depth, authenticity, and responsive performance — STUDIO DRUMMER puts the newest features of KONTAKT 5 through their paces.

	OVER 3 300 GROOVES STUDIO DRUMMER gives you a personal session drummer in the form of the groove library. It contains over 3,300 grooves for pop, rock, funk, jazz, indie, metal, ballads, blues or country, with a choice of fills and variations for each groove. Especially if you’re not a drummer, using grooves is a quick and efficient way to produce authentic-sounding drum tracks.

	100% AUTHENTICS All patterns were played live by pro drummers for organic, physical authenticity. This is important because if you’re after a natural sound, you have to be aware of the real-life physical constraints of real drummers. Hit the crash, snare and floor tom all at the same time? No way. Played grooves also possess an inherent feel and character, which is difficult to recreate with a mouse or the little drum pads on your keyboard.

	DRAG & DROP When you’re working on a song, browse through the grooves to find the right beat for your track. When you’ve got the groove you need, just drag-and-drop it into your sequencer to create a new MIDI pattern - which you can now fine-tune in any way you want.

	CUSTOMIZE GROOVES STUDIO DRUMMER gives you two ways to customize grooves: As mentioned above you can tweak the MIDI pattern in your sequencer, or you can use the on-board customizing features: The Tightness control lets you adjust the feel of each groove in real time, from gridded precision to enigmatic slack. The Swing control adds swing, changing a straight rock beat into a loping shuffle at the twist of a dial.

	MAPPING STUDIO DRUMMER includes mapping templates for instant use with E-DRUMS and other Drum Modules / software: - General MIDI - V-Drums TD-12/20 / V-Drums TD-3/6/8* - DrumIt Five - Superior Drummer - BFD - iMap - Addictive Drums
