BRUTE Loyalty Upgrade from any paid UJAM product: Virtual Drummer for Rock and Grunge

BRUTE was recorded with three microphone sets, each with a specific job. A vintage Sennheiser MD21 emphasizes attack transients, processed through a Manley Voxbox. Vintage tube and ribbon overheads capture the warm, coarse, organic character of the kit. Modern Schoeps microphones provide a cleaner, more detailed signal.

The Smack control raises the clicky microphone to help drums cut through dense guitar layers. The Grit control crossfades between the clean and dirty mic sets, letting you move from a polished sound to a rougher one.

The five kits are named by their intended character. DARK is fat and lower tuned for slow, heavy grooves. DIRTY is short and punchy for fast punk playing. TIGHT adds detail with a high-tuned piccolo snare. NOBLE is full-bodied and refined for alternative rock. PRIME is balanced for large-scale rock.

The 31 playing styles contain 713 phrases in total, which helps with programming realistic drum parts. The six mix presets replace a multi-bus effect chain on each channel, from the gentle Gentle preset for ballads to the wide, stadium-style Wide preset.
