Can't get that snare to fit in the mix? Snares has the answer, with five unique instruments recorded in a real concert hall, sporting up to three different microphone positions to choose from. These drums work great in pop as well as classical and feature a wide variety of techniques including samples with both the snares on and off for several of the instruments. Each hit sample has two takes, one for each hand, which you can map to different keys or pads to play alternating left and right like a real snare drum. In addition, several different dynamic levels are present for each sound. The Main mics present a clean stereo image, while the Overhead and Close capture the strike of the drum. The Snare mic, underneath the drum, captures the rattle of the snares. As a bonus, the fifth drum, a rope tension snare drum (the kind used during the American Revolutionary War), was sampled tuned to various pitches for one of the most unique snare sounds out there!
