Adding to their full-fat drum VI, Bogren Digital have treated the world to a free edition of their creation. Providing a glimpse of Krimh Drums, we take a look at their Free Edition drum sounds for Kontakt Player that anyone can get their hands on.

Let There Be Drums

Although some DAWs centre themselves around a complement of fully-formed virtual instruments, others can leave composers a bit short on certain sounds. In some cases the choice isn’t even as good as that! There is of course an entire universe of brilliantly useable instruments out there vying for attention, but some of these can be overwhelming big and correspondingly expensive. For some living in a drum-less DAW, all that is needed is a skeleton smattering of good quality sounds. With a smaller feature and sound set in place, it makes sense to get a VI that gravitates towards the same broader style that composers will be working in.

Bogren Digital Krimh Drums Free Edition

Already out there is Krimh Drums from Bogren Digital, makers of guitar amp and virtual drum products that live at the heavier end of the musical gamut. Krimh Drums Free Edition’s name holds no surprises, and brings a compact version of Krimh Drums for Kontakt Player. This features a finely multisampled metal-style drum kit with a correspondingly thunderous, transient sound that’s engineered to slice through walls of guitars and other dark delights.

For those who like what they hear, the paid edition of Krimh Drums contains a full studio mixer rack, the ability to set up multi-channel outputs, a larger collection of drum kit pieces, 100+ MIDI grooves by Krimh, and thirteen presets made by Jens Bogren. The paid version also includes a pack of snare, kick, and tom samples in TCI and WAV formats for use with third party samplers.

Watch below as we check out some of the following features in Krimh Drums Free Edition:

• Pro-quality drum sounds for metal and other contemporary styles.

• Advanced algorithms for adding realism to programmed drums.

• Included MIDI grooves performed by Krimh.

• Works in any major DAW with the free Kontakt Player by Native Instruments.
