Drum Kit Sounds and Character

Ugritone builds OSDM Drums around a kick, several snare choices, five toms and a large cymbal selection. The snare list alone includes Pearl, Ludwig, S.P.L. Labs, Griffin and Custom models, so you can pick a snare that suits the attack you want.

The developer says the kit is tuned for fast decay and brutal attack, which points to a tight, aggressive drum sound for blast beats and fast passages. Cymbals include crashes, rides, china, splash and stack options, giving you a range of accents for the style.

Because the kit is built around one genre, it is best suited to producers working in old school death metal, grind or related extreme metal.

Presets and Starting Points

OSDM Drums includes seven presets: 2001 Deathcore, Dry Death Metal, Grind Demon, Modern Death Metal, Netomb, Slow Tampa and Tampa Default. Each is meant as a starting point for a particular style, so you can compare them and adjust from the one that fits your song.

The presets are useful if you want to see how the kit is set up for different genres before building your own mix. The download is about 406 MB, so plan for the disk space before installing.
