03In depth

Three Sample Sets for Different Workflows

The expansion groups its sounds into raw, mix-ready and producer-ready sets. Raw samples are unprocessed and suited to producers who want to add their own processing and creative treatment from the start.

Mix-ready samples have processing and effects already applied, so they can be dropped into a mix with less setup. Producer-ready samples add modern sample layers to the drums, a choice aimed at producers who want a finished, radio-style drum sound quickly.

The pack includes 4 raw snares, 3 raw kicks and 12 raw toms, plus matching mix-ready and producer-ready counts for each drum type.

Cymbals, Stacks and Kit Presets

Beyond the core drums, the expansion adds 2 hi hats, 2 rides, 4 crashes and 3 stacks. The developer highlights ride shank and stacked cymbal sounds among the cymbal options.

The 12 kit presets give you ready-made combinations of these sounds to start a groove from, which you can then adjust inside Steven Slate Drums.
