The new gold-standard for metal drums
The Metal Unlimited Raw Pack offers a unique drums library for extensive customization. Being the only library in the market that facilitates blending of raw, unprocessed drum sounds with unique transient samples for every instrument, it uses a dedicated FX fader to add desired punch and clarity to metal drums. The pack can be used for true-to-life drum tones or for adding unprecedented clarity and snap to real or sampled drums.
This pack comes organized in three ready-to-use banks of presets: BASIC, METAL, and SNAP. BASIC includes five raw presets of organic sounding drum samples without equalization or compression, ideal for mixes or e-drums. METAL offers 15 presets of natural drum tones with modern attack, blended with additional FX samples to create huge, punchy metal drum sounds. SNAP, with five presets, serves as a secret weapon under the FX fader, adding punch and snap to any drums. Each instrument comes with three matched FX samples that can be combined in any way, offering a unique drum sound without excessive compression.
Direct microphone selectors
With Hertz Drums, you have the power to choose from three direct microphone selectors for each instrument. This allows you to shape your drum sound with precision, giving you ultimate control over the mix. Each different recording utilises different microphones, giving you distinctive flavours for every drum.

If you want to take your creativity to the next level, Hertz Drums allows you to load your own samples onto each instrument channel. Whether you have unique drum samples or want to experiment with different sounds, the drum sampler function gives you the freedom to explore endless possibilities and create truly original drum tracks.

Hertz Drums offers three performance modes: low, mid, and high. These modes allow you to optimize your PC/Mac's potential, ensuring smooth performance even with complex drum arrangements. Whether you're working on a simple beat or a high-energy drum solo, Hertz Drums will handle it all with ease.
Additional Sub Mic
For those who want to shape up the low end more precisely, Hertz Drums features an additional SUB mic for bass drums and toms. This enables you to achieve a more powerful and defined low-end sound.
Humanize
For ultra-realistic performances, the humanize button adds that extra human touch to your drums, even when working with your own custom samples. This ensures that your drum tracks sound natural and expressive. Additionally, left and right hand "humanized" playing capability provide the feel and authenticity of a real drummer.

With Hertz Drums, you have access to a wide range of FX samples for additional customization. These samples allow you to add extra punch, flare, or atmosphere to your drum tracks. Additionally, each instrument or separate microphone has a precise and intuitive envelope shaper (ADSR) available, allowing you to further shape the dynamics and envelope of your drum sounds.
