Battery Studio Drums is a comprehensive, meticulously recorded collection of over 1.1 GB of acoustic drum samples designed for the Battery drum sampler. These kits are also compatible with the NI sampler KONTAKT.

The sample library was developed in partnership with Yellow Tools and combines over 3000 edited samples of five studio drum sets in extraordinary sound quality. The recorded drum sets include drums from DW™, Pearl™, Sonor™, Tama™, and Yamaha™ with Cymbals from Sabian™, Paiste™, Meinl™ and Zildjan™.

Two Battery CD-ROMs contain twelve GM-compatible studio-kits, eleven chromatic kits, and three tom kits (from 8 to 16 inch). The sounds cover a wide variety of musical styles like Pop, Rock, Jazz, Soul, Funk, and more. Up to 16 velocity layers per drum (for bass drum, snare and toms) make the Studio Drums highly playable, expressive, and authentic.
