This is the sequel to "Drumkit From Hell", which was hailed by critics and fans all over the world as the best multi-sampled drumkit on the market. DFH was awarded SOS Magazine's FIVE STAR AWARD and EQ Magazine's EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY AWARD!

  • Produced by AWARD-WINNING producers TOONTRACK MUSIC with Tomas Haake (Meshuggah) on a SONAR drumkit
  • 2.4 Gigs and 3,200 files of unprocessed multiple mic “interactive” drum sounds providing unparrelled realism
  • 9 mono & 2 Stereo outputs with natural bleed through overhead, ambience & Snare bottom mics
  • Easy instrument customization - snare, toms and kickdrums use left/right hands/feet
  • 5 toms (3 racktoms, and 2 floortoms) 2 kickdrums (left and right) with changeable felt mallet or wood mallet beater, 3 rides, 1 ride china, 2 chinas, 1 spock, 5 crash cymbals and 2 splash cymbals, 3 snares: Sonor, Pearl Birch and Pearl Brass (one of the snares has removable bottom snares, and if that is chosen, the kickdrums and toms change sounds also for the ultimate realism), 2 hats: Sabian & Sabian Prototype, 1 special, 1 cowbell
  • Includes special version of KOMPAKT SAMPLER from NATIVE INSTRUMENTS (plug-in or standalone) for MAC and PC

After a year of recording, editing, and programming - the next generation of Drumkit From Hell - DRUMKIT FROM HELL 2 has arrived, and once again it features Tomas Haake from Meshuggah on a Sonor drumkit. DRUMKIT FROM HELL 2 includes 2.4 Gigabytes and 3,200 soundfiles of unprocessed drum sounds powered by a special version of Native Instrument's KOMPAKT Sampler.

If you need heavy, natural drum sounds, DRUMKIT FROM HELL 2 will exceed your expectations. Combining the bleed between microphones provides you with unparrelled realism, that is equivalent to having one of the worlds best metal drummers live in your studio. The creative scope of this library is amazing. Step up to the next generation of creative studio tools and the next big thing when it comes to producing high quality drums.

DRUMKIT FROM HELL 2 includes a special version of KOMPAKT Sample Player from NATIVE INSTRUMENTS (plug-in or standalone) with Direct-from-Disk streaming for MAC and PC.

The audio engine functions as a plug-in instrument, without the need for a sampler, in hosts such as Cubase VST, Digital Performer, Logic, Nuendo, Pro-Tools, Sonar etc. For the sonically adventureous, many sound shaping tools have been built in to the interface. Powerful multi-mode filters, envelopes, and LFOs give a wealth of creative possibilities. Integrated high-quality reverb, chorus, and delay effects are also provided. Direct from Disk playback easily handles large samples beyond available RAM (which is assignable). Professional sound quality with advanced 32-bit processing allow for lush arrangements. The clean and intuitive interface never lets the technology get in the way of your creativity. All important instrument parameters can be immediately adjusted without the need to page, scroll, or fumble through a manual.

Drum Kit from Hell 2

Jim Long
March 9, 2006

Rating: 5/10

This software is an example of poor documentation and fraud.
The box indicates that you can run this on a computer with less than 1 gig ram, which is simply not the case. My system 1.5 mhz with 1 gig ram it chokes and spits out artifacts like a lung patient.
It is extremely cpu intensive and requires a faster system than indicated by the manufacturer.
It will not run "out of the box", you must register and download updates to make it work, which leaves a very negative feeling for the user.

The sound quality is comparable with BFD, which I feel has a nicer more friendly and usable interface.
In short...it isn't anything to write home to Mom about. Carefully consider your purchase if you are thinking about this one, and make sure you check out BFD first.

  • PART 2: THE SOUNDS YOU NEED, Section 1: Virtual acoustic instruments
