The beats in Stormdrum are the result of a desire to get a big film score sound, but not be derivitive. There are many different kinds of grooves with many variations. It would be a mistake to judge the sound of the library without listening to the many different loops. All of the more break-like grooves are based on live grooves and manipulated to sound more electronic. You will find many uses for these beats, but the intention was for them to be useful in film scoring.

The drum-kits and percussion multi-samples in Storumdrum are really amazing! Everything has 10-24 way velocity switching with left and right hand samples. The sound is big and sometimes ambient when neccesary. There are 32 GM drumkits with automatic alternation of left and right hand samples built into each kit (snare, hats and toms). To access the full drum library, users can load up all the individual elements and make up their own 88 key kits. No combination of kicks, snares, hats, toms and cymbals ever overlaps. Load one of each, using 5 of the 8 multi-timbral parts and set the 5 programs to the same midi channel. Instant custom 88 key drumkit! The 88 Key drum setups dont utilize automatic alternation of samples, but rather give users direct control. The electronic samples are all derived from the acoustic samples in the library. As a result, they are very original sounding, but also quite familiar. There is even an organic velocity switching tech kit and other goodies like metal shop and prepared piano.

The percussion is really nice and extensively multi-sampled. There are some really useful and unusual gems in there. There is a big emphasis on big sounding drums. The 7 man Thunder Ensemble is a first in commercial sample libraries.
