StarDrums

About

StarDrums is a drum plugin by Acousticsamples. It is a Tama Starclassic drum kit with 9 instruments, sampled with 3 microphone positions. The kit includes a 20" bass drum, a 14" snare, 10", 12" and 16" toms, Zildjian crash, splash and hihat cymbals, and a 20" Kashian ride. The default interface is a mixer where you set pan and volume for each drum, or mute it.

What it sounds like

The 14" snare is sampled with 4 hit positions, and round robins prevent fast repeated hits from sounding identical. The raw version is unprocessed, while the Processed version has compression, reverbs and EQ applied to the same samples.
