01Overview

Assault Drums is a drum plugin built around a 70s rock sound. It gathers three kick drums, three snares, two sets of toms, a broad cymbal selection and two cowbells into one virtual kit. Ugritone describes the kit as suited to garage rock, hard rock, disco and punk-leaning material. Seven presets, named after styles and eras such as 1972 UK Rock and MotorCity USA, give a starting point for each sound before you adjust the kit to your own mix.

Drum Kit Sounds and Components

The kit combines several drum shells and cymbal models from different makers. The kicks include Mapex Saturn, Tama Rockstar and Peavey International 22-inch options. The snares offer Mapex Saturn Maple, Pearl Steel and Tama Rockstar Steel 14x5 choices. Toms come in two sets, with sizes from 8x6 up to 14x14, and the cymbal list covers Zildjian A Custom and Sabian AA models, including hi-hats, rides, crashes, splashes and an oriental trash china.

Because each component is a named, separate model, you can pick the exact voice for each part of the kit instead of working with a single generic drum set.

Presets for Rock, Disco and Vintage Styles

Ugritone built the seven presets as starting points for specific genres and styles. Basement Tapes, Boom of Room and Natural Snappy point toward more natural, room-oriented tones, while Disco Inferno and MotorCity USA cover dancefloor and Motown-influenced grooves. 1972 UK Rock and 1978 American Rock address the two rock traditions the developer highlights.

Each preset loads a full kit configuration, so you can audition several styles quickly and then change the components or tuning to suit the track.
