The Reason Drum Kits 2 ReFill is an extensive DVD-ROM library of life-like, multisampled drum kits for Reason's extraordinary Combinator device. Drum Kits 2 is more than just a set of professionally recorded drum kits mapped out across your MIDI keyboard - it's a live drum recording session in a Refill. Reason Drum Kits 2 captures every aspect of the included kits: the drums themselves, the room surrounding them, the drummer, the unique sound of the mics and outboard used in the recording, the works. Reason Drum Kits features 58 unique Combinator kits styled for Vintage Soul, Indie-type Pop and Hard Rock, plus 96 additional ReDrum sets and an insane amount of inspirational MIDI files, effect patches and style templates.
Mix your own drums
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, each time you load up a kit. So by adjusting the levels of the Close, Overhead and Ambience microphones, you can fully shape and control the sound of your drum kits. You can even add compression, EQ or effects to individual drums. Essentially, this is like putting a top-notch recording room, drum kit and drummer right into your computer. We've taken care of the tricky, boring and expensive work, leaving you in command of the creative parts: The playing and the mixing!
Build your own kits
Putting together your own personal drum kits using individual drums, hihats and cymbals from different kits is, naturally, a breeze; Reason Drum Kits 2 handles instruments and all their related samples and velocity layers collectively, allowing you to create drum kits containing up to a thousand samples with just a few mouse clicks.
Forget multisampling - this is hypersampling
The Reason Drum Kits were recorded in acoustic environments tailormade for drums, using the finest blend of vintage and modern technology. In order to capture all the details and nuances of the featured kits, each instrument was recorded at all possible velocity levels, from a variety of distances and positions. So when you hammer out a two-handed snare fill on your MIDI keyboard, you can expect it to sound more than realistic. All mic positions and velocity levels included, the Reason Drum Kits use around 70 samples for one single key, which adds up to about 800 different samples in one kit! Giving you 11.000 drum and cymbal samples and an infinite number of extremely versatile, extremely dynamic sounding drumkits that are a joy to play. Enjoy.
Reason Drum Kits in production
Being a Reason product, Drum Kits 2 is of course fully ReWire compatible, making it easy for you to incorporate your favorite drum kits into songs created in other ReWire savvy software; just run Reason and the Drum Kits 2 ReFill alongside your Pro Tools pop or rock production, and use the entire Reason rack as a dedicated drum studio.
Load it all
Reason Drum Kits 2 takes full advantage of Reason's all-powerful Combinator device, allowing for total recall of complex kits and everything that affects their overall sound; mixer channel levels, EQ and effect settings and routing data are stored along with the kits. This way, your not just loading sets of drums, you're loading up entire drum mixes - complete with levels, panning and processing - in a single click.
Producer Kits
A number of name producers and engineers were asked to use Drum Kits 2 and Reason's EQs, compressors and effects to reproduce the secret working methods and signal paths that shape their signature drum sound. Simply load up any Producer Kit Combinator patch for that instant professional drum sound.

System requirements
We have gone far to create the most realistic sounding set of drums ever made for Reason. This means that the full patches in this ReFill are large. Multi Out patches weigh around 250MB (16 bit format) and to load them into NN-XT in Reason 3.0 takes quite some time compared to loading sounds from the Reason Factory Sound Bank.
Therefore, we recommend a faster CPU and more memory for this product. If you have less memory than recommended, or if you just want the patches to load faster, you can use Stereo Mix patches (MX). These are stereo representations of the samples and work perfectly well in a programming situation. You can always step up to the Multi Out patches later on in the process, since all Stereo Mix patches have a Multi Out equivalent.
