03In depth

Low and High Drum Sections for Layered Control

DRUMS splits the kit into two sections. Low Drums cover bass and timpani, while High Drums cover snares and toms. The Crossfade slider balances the two layers, so you can push the low end or the top end of a pattern without rebuilding it.

Each section has its own effects, including Character and Motion FX, which add depth and movement to the individual layers. This makes it practical to shape a cinematic drum bed in a few moves rather than processing separate multitrack stems.

Styles, Phrases and the Performance Engine

The library includes 60 playing Styles and more than 300 custom-designed phrases. The built-in performance engine turns even simple notes into fuller patterns. UJAM says the engine keeps phrases in time and musically consistent, from subtle grooves to explosive cinematic hits.

Because the patterns are generated from input notes, DRUMS suits composers who want to sketch rhythm quickly and change the feel by switching Styles.

Finisher and Ambience for Sound Design

Beyond traditional percussion, DRUMS includes the Finisher and Ambience effects for reshaping sound. The package contains more than 200 Finisher presets, which can turn orchestral drums into shimmering textures, distorted impacts or abstract layers. Use these when you need a drum sound that does not sound like a conventional kit.
