“I feel like I FINALLY found somebody who
gets what I’m needing in the mix from the
kick and snare...beautiful, deep room tone
makes it feel so real... like being in a
studio actually tracking drums.”
— Bradford Nyght (Composer/Drummer)

The USER INTERFACE

MAIN PANEL - Minimal controls for immediate inspiration. Easily audition the various kick, snare and toms.

ADVANCED SETTINGS - Adjust the close, oh and room mixes and dive deep into the individual microphones for each drum. Tweak the built-in reverb and compressor.

LOOPS INTERFACE - A collection of drum loops, fills and one -shots recorded at various tempos.

BROOMSTICKS, TEA TOWELS & A FLUFFY BEATER

Soft Drums was extensively sampled with multiple dynamic layers and round robins for each drum. The textured broomsticks and tea towel covered drums result in a slightly muted and warm tone ideal for situations that require present, but not overpowering drums, filling the void between retro jazz kits and that vintage 70’s splat.

I have never had, nor thought I would ever have, a drum library that would inspire me to start writing. It happened! Tremendous work, Jon. Cheers to all involved in creating this beautiful instrument!
