The new drum sample pack is developed in collaboration with Mike Mangini, the professional drummer of the Dream Theater band, and is available on MixWave. This latest release is a great improvement to the virtual drumming, as it offers the users samples that are unique to Mangini’s playing and his technical ability.
The partnership between MixWave and Mangini is to provide a set of drum samples that are recorded professionally to capture the essence of Mangini’s playing style. The sample pack contains one shot drum hits and drum loops all recorded in professional studio. Every sample is intended to give the depth and definition that Mangini is famous for, which makes it a useful resource for both studio engineers and hobbyists who want to add more depth to their compositions.
The Mike Mangini Drum Sample Pack has some of the best qualities that include velocity layers and round-robin variations. This makes the samples sound natural and dynamic, and very close to the real drumming as is possible with samples. The sounds that users can get are punchy kick drums, crisp snares, and complex cymbals that can be easily applied to different music styles.
The sample pack also includes ready-to-use kits for the most used drum software such as Superior Drummer, Kontakt, and Slate Trigger. This compatibility means that Mangini’s drum kits can be easily integrated into the existing working environment, which means that users can begin creating with Mangini’s sounds immediately.
Mangini himself has said that he is looking forward to the release, pointing out that this sample pack enables him to introduce more people to his drumming. He expects that it will encourage people to create more and give them the resources to create good music.
