Blanketfort Audio have released SR Drums, a drum library for Kontakt, available at the intro price of $19.00, increasing to $29.00 after the promotion. Use code notanotherone at the checkout to claim the deal. The offer ends January 22nd.
SRDrums is a drum library specifically designed to assist songwriters, producers and composers to hit the ground running, with minimal fuss. It is a companion to the previously released ‘Drums for TAL Sampler’.
The kit recorded consisted of a Pearl Prestige Session Select 4 piece kit:
- 22×16” Kick
- 16×16” Floor Tom
- 12×10” Rack Tom
- 14×6.5” Snare
- Zildjian 14” Nee Beat Hats
- Zildjian 18” A Custom Crash
- Zildjian 19” A Custom Crash
- Paiste 402 Ride.
SRDrums comprises 561 samples, divided into 5 kits:
- Dry: Mixed with simple eq and compression, no special processing, for a clean, punchy sound.
- Cst: All samples were recorded to cassette via my trusty Technics RS-B16 deck. This gives them a more trashy punch, particularly in the cymbals.
- R2R: All samples were run through my dying Sony TC-352D reel to reel which gives them an even more trashy, punchy, destroyed sound.
- HSW: All samples were recorded at double tempo, an octave up, onto my Sony TCM-40DV walkman, then recorded back at half speed, bringing the samples to their original pitch and tempo… sort of. Very lo-fi sound, not a lot of bottom end but heaps of character. This is a mono kit.
- WMO: This is an expanded version of the WMO kit from Drums for TAL Sampler, which was my attempt at a ‘One mic’ style drum kit. All samples were taken from the snare mic recording, except the snare samples, which were taken from the kick mic. Great for neo-soul and breakbeat style drums. This is also a mono kit.

SR Drums requires a full version of Kontakt 6.8.0 or later.
