Best Service Vibe Drums Virtual Instrument Bundle, Download

Audio producers seeking diverse drum sounds across various musical genres should explore the Vibe Drums Bundle. This collection comprises three drum libraries - Penny, Ruby, and Jolene - totaling 23GB of high-quality, character-rich samples that deliver a wide range of sonic styles.

- Boutique Drums Penny -
Penny is the third release in our Boutique Drums Series and arguably the most vibey and versatile thus far.

We initially sought to create a kit that paid homage to the tighter rock drum mixes popularized in the '60s and '70s. We covered the toms and snare with cloth to dampen the decay/ring-out and incorporated some vintage mics used in that period alongside our modern array of microphones and gear.

After curating a kit with some beautiful and rare custom pieces, extensively sampling each drum, mixing the snot out of it, and programming Penny to a tee - what we end up with is an instrument that suits far more musical contexts than we initially anticipated. Pretty cool stuff.

As per usual, we incorporated our repetition sampling techniques for realistic successive notes with the hi-hats and toms and six different hi-hat groove states that you can easily crossfade between for maximum expression.

Features
• Simple and intuitive mix interface
• Eight interchangeable "baked-in" mix presets
• Repetition sampling for all hi-hats/toms

- Boutique Drums Ruby -
Ruby is the first release of our Boutique Drums series. We consulted with our drummer Brian Scoggin (Casting Crowns) who curated a kit comprised of truly boutique drum pieces for this release. We also chose to record at Hey Studios in Griffin, Georgia for its outstanding acoustics and engineering; a remarkable space providing a tasteful balance of both room and character.

Each of the eight mixes was created from scratch using an arsenal of processing tools, both hardware, and software. We chose to develop the presets outside of Kontakt to deliver what we felt were precision mixes with the right amount of punch, balance, and vibe while providing just enough headroom to treat well to additional processing.

Under the hood, Ruby also alternates between two different sets of hi-hat/ride multi-samples; depending on how quickly you hit successive notes for the given articulation. The initial hit triggers the isolated sample while subsequent hits trigger repetition samples.

We've included five different hi-hat states of multi-samples and live eighth-note grooves that automatically lock to your DAW's tempo: tight, normal, slight-open, mid-open, and all-open; grooves recorded at 90/120/140 BPM.

We've also developed what we consider to be a first - crossfade able hi-hat grooves with release triggers. With the mod wheel down, it'll play the loop at it's tightest hi-hat state. As you push the mod wheel up, the hi-hat opens up. It's pretty dang cool.

- Boutique Drums Jolene -
Jolene is the second release in our Boutique Drums Series. While Ruby celebrates the heavy, Jolene is all about vibe - great for indie, alternative, country, and pop.

As per usual, we've included a collection of "baked-in" mix presets that cater to a variety of musical contexts. From the pillowy, intimate punchiness of 'Sunshine' to the portly, attitudinal 'Lola' preset, we've got you covered.

We've included five different hi-hat states of multi-samples and live eighth-note grooves that automatically lock to your DAW's tempo: tight, normal, slight-open, mid-open, and all-open; grooves recorded at 90/120/140 BPM.

Crossfade able hi-hat grooves with release triggers? Yup. With the mod wheel down, it'll play the loop at it's tightest hi-hat state. As you push the mod wheel up, the hi-hat opens up. It's awesome.
