Diverse Drums for Blues and Beyond!

The Blues Multitrack Drum Kit is part of the Drum Masters series where you can pick out a la carte kits and grooves that work with Sonic Reality’s Infinite Player plugin and build one of the most powerful virtual drum collections ever!

About the Blues Multi-track Drum Kit:

This product is a multi-sampled vintage Gretsch® drum kit made to be played from Sonic Reality’s Infinite Player. This is a classic 5 piece kit recorded with snares on in a medium sized room in a Nashville studio. While it is the ideal companion to the multi-track Blues Groove Sets in the Studio ProFiles Drum Masters series the kit itself can be used for a very wide variety of music styles. This is a very versatile and beautiful sounding kit that plays exceptionally well in Sonic Reality's iMap layout. It has a very organic, crisp and full sound with some bonus extras like a Yamaha® Sub Kick channel for adding low end to the kick drum and more.

Sonic Notes:

Quote from Dave Kerzner of Sonic Reality about Blues Kit: "This is another title done early in the development of the Studio ProFiles series that was put together by Mark Hornsby. When he and Nashville session drummer Tommy did the grooves I thought they had really gone over the top on every variation of shuffle with and without various kit pieces. But we ended up including most of it in the separate groove sets without affecting the price just so users had all of the useful material they could get from it as a bonus. The big pleasant surprise for me was the sound of this Gretsch kit that was used for those sessions! I could instantly see its usefulness going far beyond just Blues. This is a really nice sounding versatile and expressive drum kit that plays well and fits into almost any mix."

Easy to Use, Intuitive and Flexible Graphic User Interface!

Whether you play from the keyboard, V-Drums™ or any electronic drum kit, Drum Masters 2 has some of the most advanced features for round robin randomization of hits, performance articulations like ghost notes, snare rolls, and hits from center to edge to rim. With new “ MIDI learn”, custom kits can be tailored for any drum pad set up. It includes GM, iMap and a new Performance mode for expressive MIDI grooves and universal compatibility all in one package. Top that off with ready to go mixes, built-in effects and infinite expandability, Drum Masters 2 is the ultimate virtual drum solution!

Mapping Modes: iMap, GM, V-Drum, Custom

iMap

iMap is a proprietary MIDI note mapping/drum kit layout scheme developed by Sonic Reality that facilitates improved live performance of drum kits via MIDI keyboard. iMap places drums in their most flexible and intuitive position, allowing each of the fingers on both hands independent and coordinated control over the sampled kit. With little practice, it is possible to lay down complete drum grooves in a single take that have incredible feel and groove. I-Map has left and right stick positions per drum as well as a variety of positions from center to edge to rim. It includes additional performance articulations you don’t often get from other drum products such as left and right keys for snare rolls, separate ghost notes, hat foot open, chokes, crashing rides and more.

GM (General MIDI)

GM is the classic mapping format for standard  MIDI files. Sonic Reality’s IMAP/GM remapping button works by putting selected IMAP notes remapped to GM notes instead. You can change an entire multi kit from IMAP to GM with one simple key switch. This offers the best of cutting edge expression without sacrificing universal compatibility with GM MIDI loops.

V-Drum

All Drum Masters 2 kits have been mapped for Roland's TD-20 V-Drum brain.  V-Drum mapping features include a snare drum rimshot/sidestick switch and intricate hi-hat articulation controls.   Round robin randomization and detailed articulation sampling introduce a realistic approach to e-drumming!

Custom

Assign any articulation of any instrument to any MIDI note!  By either using the MIDI Learn function or an interface knob, this mapping panel allows for ultimate flexibility for use with any electronic drum kit, multi-pad controller or any other MIDI device.
