Handy Drums- Rock Standard

ROCK STANDARD from the Handy Drums plugin collection is a pre-mixed, sampled drumset tailored to Rock music productions or similar. The plugin offers album-like, produced drum sound quality right out of the box and is primarily for users looking for instant drum results. Tweaks to the individual drum components are accomplished using the included mixer. Each drum component sounds as a part of the drumset as a uniform instrument played in an acoustic space.

As is the case with all of the plugins in the Handy Drums collection, the Rock Standard comes with a clean, simple GUI offering essential functionalities such as drum mapping, routing, and other settings in a discreet, intuitive manner. That makes this virtual drumset very easy to use.

At the core of the Rock Standard's drum sound is the natural ambiance providing realism and character. No artificial reverb or fx's were used for the sample production. The sound is lively, ambient with punch, and lends itself well to Rock, Country, and similar styles. What you hear is what you get- nothing more, nothing less.

In addition to the 6-piece drumset with cymbals (hats, ride, crashes, splashes), the plugin comes with a few sampled percussion instruments, a standard for Handy Drums plugins: shaker, cowbell, triangle, handclaps.

The variable hi-hat is the norm with this plugin, but it achieves 6 stages of hi-hat openness utilizing only 2 notes (tip and edge) in combination with a CC4 controller.
