Drum Kit Sounds and Components

The kit uses a Gretsch Catalina Maple 22x18 kick and a Ludwig Supralite 14x6.5 snare. The toms are Gretsch Catalina Maple sizes 10x7, 12x8, 14x14 and 16x16, giving you a range of pitches across the kit.

The cymbal selection covers Impression Rock hi-hat, ride, and two crash sizes, plus a Wuhan China 18, a Meinl 10-inch splash and several Meinl cymbal stacks. This gives you crash, ride, and accent options for heavier and more aggressive patterns.

Presets for Different Metal Styles

The eight presets are named Default Kit, Bleeding Kit, Dry Kit, Final Metal Drums, Garage Kit, Little Bit Of Room, Out Flames and Static Z. Each is meant to serve as a starting point for a particular genre or style, so you can audition a few before shaping your own sound.

The developer describes the presets as the result of hours of crafting. Use them as a reference point, then adjust the kit to fit your song.
