Drum Kit Sound and Presets for Heavy Genres

Ugritone describes Dieswitch Drums as suited to raw, punchy metalcore drum tones and to the angsty sound of 2000s emo, screamo and punk. The kit includes a 22x18 Pearl Maple kick, a Ludwig Hammered Brass 14x6.5 snare, five Pearl Maple toms from 10x7 to 16x14, and a broad cymbal selection.

The six presets are named Die By Switch, Die Fat, Die KVLT, Die Naturally, Die Skinny and Die Wet. Ugritone says they were crafted to give a strong starting point for each genre and style, which makes them a practical way to find a direction before adjusting the tone yourself.
