Three hand-made traditional animal skin drums, exquisitely sampled with a deep, earthy and warm tone. Dynamics range from quiet to huge! Recorded in mostly dry environments, and ideal for world music, underscore, and even epic cues!

Forest Frame Drums also comes with a gorgeous UI for easy control and tweaking. You can create an instant ensemble sound with one click, and change ensemble voices, width, and tightness (or slop). Built-in release control, EQ, saturation and limiting allows you to customize the tone and shape of each drum quickly and easily.

"All in all, this is a great library. Well recorded, deeply recorded, and a very intuitive playability via the highly attractive GUI... and will make a great addition to your existing ethnic/hand percussion collections. I love them and can see myself reaching for them regularly, especially on days in the studio when my own playing is sloppy!"

"Groove Bias is always my first choice for tracks that need serious amounts of funk and soul. For years, I’ve been wrestling with general purpose drum libraries, trying to treat them to get that ultra-punchy 70s/80s sound. This can’t be overstated: the way the samples are recorded matters as much as your mixing techniques, if not more. After 10 minutes with GB, I was already slamming out breakbeats that sounded straight off an Earth Wind & Fire record. It’s amazing how well ISW captures that sound with almost no processing."
