Reason Drum Kits 2.0 from propellerhead software is an extensive DVD-ROM library of multi-sampled drum kits for Reason's Combinator device and includes multiple sets of professionally recorded drum kits mapped out across a MIDI keyboard. The library captures every aspect of the included kits - the drums themselves, the room, the drummer and the unique sound of the microphones and outboard gear used in the recording.
All the instruments in the kits were captured at multiple velocity levels using multiple microphones, all of which are represented on separate channels in Reason's mixer. By adjusting the levels of the Close, Overhead and Ambience microphones, the user can fully shape and control the sound of the kits. Compression, EQ or effects can also be added to individual drums.
Putting together personal drum kits using individual drums, hi-hats and cymbals from different kits is simple. The software handles instruments and all their related samples and velocity layers collectively, allowing the user to create drum kits containing up to a thousand samples with just a few mouse clicks.
