Each drum has been exquisitely sampled, capturing a dynamic range from quiet to powerful, making this virtual instrument ideal for world music, underscore, and even epic cues. The Forest Frame Drums are recorded in mostly dry environments, preserving the authentic, warm tone of these traditional instruments.

Create an instant ensemble sound with a single click, and adjust ensemble voices, width, and tightness to your liking. The built-in release control, EQ, saturation, and limiting allow you to tailor the tone and shape of each drum quickly and effortlessly. Additionally, the convolution reverb with five custom impulses and four parameters lets you blend the drums seamlessly with your other instruments.
The Forest Frame Drums collection offers a wide range of articulations, with up to 15x round robins and 6x dynamics per articulation. The Primary Forest Drum features 20 articulations, the Deep Drum has 17, and the Small Drum offers 2, all played with fingers, thumbs, palms, mallets, and sticks.
