Butch Vig Drums is a Kontakt drum instrument from Native Instruments, built from 21 kits created by producer Butch Vig. Each kit contains 16 one-shot sounds and groove patterns.
Butch Vig Drums gathers 21 drum kits designed by producer Butch Vig, known for his work with Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins and Green Day. Each kit holds 16 one-shot sounds that can be played directly, so you can build rock and alternative drum parts from a single instrument. The kits come from Native Instruments' Play Series, which pairs preset-based sounds with focused real-time controls. It runs inside Kontakt.
The drum sounds were recorded at United Recording's Studio A in Hollywood. The developer says the recordings combine classic studio techniques with modern tweaking.
After recording, the sounds were processed through a selection of analogue and digital preamps, compressors and stompboxes at Butch Vig's home studio. The result is a hard-hitting hybrid drum sound aimed at rock and alternative production.
Each of the 21 kits contains 16 groove patterns. You can drag and drop these MIDI patterns into any DAW and edit them there.
Each kit also includes a set of macro effects for real-time shaping. The interface is kept simple, so you can start playing a kit and find a groove quickly.
