Drum Kit and Cymbal Sound

The pack is based on a DW Collector's kit paired with a selection of Sabian and Paiste cymbals. The developer says this combination gives an even, balanced tone suited to progressive genres where technical and precise drumming is required.

The kit list includes a 20x16" DW Collector's kick, two snares (a 14x5.5" DW Craviotto and a 14x5" DW Collector's Copper), five DW Collector's toms, and a range of cymbals from Sabian and Paiste, including a 21" Sabian AAX Stage ride, a 22" Paiste Soundcreation Dark china, and several crashes and splashes. A 15" Sabian HH hi-hat and an LP Black Beauty cowbell round out the set.
