Vienna Symphonic Library have released Studio Jazz Drums, available at the intro price of €69.00, increasing to €89.00 after the promotion. The offer ends Srptember 30th.
Studio Jazz Drums brings the timeless sound of an exquisite jazz kit to the Vienna Synchron Player with extraordinary detail and flexibility.
Enhanced with Flow View, this collection offers effortless access to beaters, articulations, playing zones, mic balance, reverb, and much more. Recorded in the acoustically controlled Silent Stage, the kit can be placed seamlessly into any virtual acoustic space – from intimate clubs to large halls. With included MIDI loops for sticks and brushes, you can dive straight into authentic grooves or create your own unique phrasing with ease.
At the heart of Studio Jazz Drums lies an exclusive customized Rogers drum set from the 1960s, paired with a Paiste 2002 signature snare prototype and original 60s Avedis Zildjian cymbals. Every nuance of the kit has been meticulously sampled, capturing not only single hits with sticks, brushes, and mallets, but also the sonic personality of each instrument across multiple playing areas. You can intuitively explore these zones simply by moving the mod wheel – from the center of the drumhead to the rim – unleashing a stunning variety of colors and a performance that feels exceptionally vivid and alive.
Studio Jazz Drums offers a remarkable variety of playing techniques: single strokes, rim shots, flams, ruffs, rolls, press rolls, stick-on-stick, and cross-stick variations, with multiple repetition patterns for natural flow. The extensive brush set features tip, tap, flat, legato, and bouncing strokes, as well as a wide palette of swishes – from circles to samba grooves. Special focus was given to the ride cymbal, the heartbeat of countless jazz pieces, responding dynamically to your tempo, velocity, playing zone, and the number of times the cymbal was already hit. The result is a performance that feels dynamic, expressive, and unmistakably real.
With thoughtfully designed Mixer Presets ranging from “natural” to “jazz club” to even a rock vibe, you can instantly shape the sound to fit your project. Using convolution and algorithmic reverbs, these presets transport the dry, pristine recordings of the Silent Stage into a wide variety of acoustic spaces. Whether you need an intimate trio setting or a lush cinematic atmosphere, Studio Jazz Drums provides the sonic flexibility to realize your creative vision.
The wealth of articulations played with sticks and brushes is complemented by the kick drum’s open and muted single hits, and right and left hand single strokes with mallets.
