Vintage Kit Sounds and Character

The kit is built from named instruments that will appeal to vintage-minded drummers: a Tama ArtStar II 24x16 kick, a Ludwig 1925 Marching Snare, a Radio King 14x7 and a Gene Krupa Radio King among the six snares, plus a Tama ArtStar II tom set from 10 to 18 inches. The developer describes the recordings as capturing an intimate, dry room with a touch of ambience, aiming for a raw, vintage tone.

The cymbal selection includes Zildjian, Paiste and Zultan models, including several china and splash options that help with darker, more aggressive accents.

Presets and Kit Starting Points

Eight presets are included: 1974 Black Metal, Funky Doom, Jazzy Doom, Modern Doom, Tight Dry Studio and Vintage Doom. Ugritone says they were crafted to give a strong starting point per genre and style, which is useful if you want to hear how a kit can be set up before adjusting it to your song.

Because the presets range from dry studio tones to heavier doom and black metal styles, they cover a broad span of rock and metal drumming within a single library.
