This suite contains over 40 drumkits including 13 kits that are authentic models of class artists and albums.

The Signature Drumkits Platinum from Steven Slate Drums is a drum suite that offers a comprehensive digital drum suite on the market, conquering all your digital drum needs with an RTAS VST AU and standalone midi plugin, instant presets for all Roland VDrum Modules, hundreds of easy to use midi grooves in our unique SONG form, as well as Drumagog GOG files and raw Wav Files for drum replacement.

The Samples
At the heart of any drum library are the actual samples themselves. Steven Slate has been called the master of drum sounds. In the early 2000's his original drum sample disc was in high demand amongst many top Hollywood producers and mixers. By 2006, when he publicly released his first official drum sample disc, his sounds could already be heard in many top billboard hits.

Steven has recorded only the best drums, all tuned to perfection for this virtual instrument and sample collection. Every drum and cymbal has been recorded first to 2 inch tape, enhancing their unique rich sound. Every drum and cymbal was recorded with multiple velocities and multiple hits per velocity to ensure the most natural recreation. Then the samples were transferred to digital via high end A/D converters at 24 bit/ 44.1khz.

The samples were then processed by Steven Slate using some of the most classic analog gear from both past and present. The result are drums that sound like you've always dreamed of, with punchy transients and smooth decays. By listening to the audio demos on the homepage, its easy to hear why many pros call Steven's samples the very best sounding digital drums available.

SSD Virtual Instrument
The SSD Virtual Instrument, powered by Kontakt Player2, is a standalone or RTAS-VST-AU plugin that contains many unique features. Its features preset kits that are easily customizeable by the user. It also boasts many easy to access functions such as OVERHEAD ON/OFF tab, room mic selection tabs, full pan and levels, EQ, envelope effects, saturation, humanization, and more.

The SSD instrument has 3 keyboard mappings with the KIRK EXTENDED MIDI system. This customized GM Extended map makes SSD compatible with many other grooves from other drum softwares. One of the keyboard mappings is even pre routed so that each drum track will appear on seperate tracks in your host DAW.

The SSD instrument also contains mappings for every single Roland Vdrum unit including the TD-3, TD-6, TD-9, TD-10, TD-12, and TD-20.

Modeled Kits
While you'll probably find many of the drumkits on Steven Slate Drums are reminscent of drumkits you've heard from various bands over the years, thirteen kits have been authentically modeled for a sound so genuine, it's just like the real acoustic thing! The Signature Drumkits Platinum collection contains drum sets modeled after those from Led Zeppelin, Steely Dan, Motley Crue, Metallica, Greenday, Deftones, AC/DC, Foo Fighters, Pantera, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Dream Theater. Keep in mind, these drumkits model the finalized mixed sounds that you have become familiar with, not just raw recordings of the drummer's kits. Check out the audio demos on the homepage!

Room Mics
The Steven Slate Drums collection contains two unique sounding sets of room mics. The first set is from a large warehouse with concrete walls. These room mics were processed with heavy doses of compression, eq, and even modulation to make a larger then life, deep, wide, expressive room sound.

The drums were then sampled in the famous NRG Recording STUDIO A, known for being one of the top drum rooms in Los Angeles. Its been home to bands like Linkin Park, Foo Fighters, Billy Joel, and more. These room mics have been left unprocessed and contain the signature depth and space from this beautiful sounding room.

Drumagog and WAV
Each and every drum along with BOTH sets of their room mics are available in raw WAV file and Drumagog GOG file for easy replacement or augmentation of live drum tracks. First copy the drum track, put the "direct" sample on (you can choose with or with overhead) and then copy the original drum track onto a stereo track to trigger one of the two stereo ROOM MIC PAIR samples.

Until I came across Steven Slate Drums, I never found any drum samples on the net that I really liked. Steven Slate Drums are awesome! They come with a program where you can adjust everything from EQ to distortion on each sample. They fit nicely in a mix too. Well worth the price!
