Why Would I Want 14 Drummers Playing Together?
Great question! Hans Zimmer used 12 drummers to create the incredibly powerful drumming sound in Man of Steel.
Lynyrd Skynyrd, King Crimson and Radiohead have all used 2 drummers to beef up their sound – Arcade Fire even play with 3 drummers!
So why have up to 14 drummers playing together? Because it sounds incredible! Add more than one drummer to the mix and the depth and colour of the sound intensifies beyond reason – more beefy and powerful, and a bigger, more epic sound!
6GB of Thumping, Thick Drums for a Unique, Epic Sound
Drum Circle offers 2, 4 and 8 studio drummers playing together at the same time in stunning 44.1kHz / 24bit clarity. 2 drummers playing together were recorded first, then 4 playing together, then finally 8 together. Use them separately, or combine them all to create up to 14 players at once, making a massive, cinematic sound.
Each set of drums were recorded with kick, snare and overheads mic for each kit with 4 Neumann microphones placed 3 meters high at the center of the drum circle to capture the “room” sound (see a picture of the recording session here).
An incredible 28 articulations were recorded (including toms played with hands), with 6 velocity layers and 6x round robins, making this very detailed!

Incredible Beefy Drums with a Beautiful & Powerful Interface
Drum Circle features a powerful and well laid out interface split into 3 tabs; “Mixer“, “Main” and “Settings“. Select the amount of drummers in the “Main” tab (2, 4, 8 or all 14), then edit the sound and options in the “Mixer” and “Settings” tabs.
The “Mixer” tab allows you to choose from 4 mics (kick, snare, overheads and room) to create a unique mix, and edit the volume, spread, panning, tuning and EQ controls on each mic. It also includes an FX section with compression, reverb, delay and saturation. The “Settings” tab allows you to select the output of each mic, change the velocity curve and remap each articulation to any key you want.
This is not a normal drum sample library – its beefy, thick, booming and unique!
NB. Full version of Kontakt 4.2.3 or higher required (Kontakt player will run in demo mode for 15 minutes.)
