KIT SELECT

Build the drum kit of your dreams by choosing from 25 different kit pieces. We sampled the EXACT drums used on some of your favorite records created at the Blasting Room.

Drums can be auditioned and selected in the "kit select" area. This is also where the pitch, envelope and MIDI dynamics can be adjusted. These parameters are individually controllable on each separate kit piece for maximum command of your drum sound!

MIXER / EFFECTS

Sixteen individually-controllable close, overhead and room mic channels with full bleed controls allow you to mix the audio just as if you had recorded it yourself. It sounds real because it is real!

Load up a great-sounding drum mix with presets created entirely using the internal mixer and effects - no additional plug-ins required!

Each channel can easily be multi-output routed to individual DAW channels in all popular recording software with our included templates.
