Featuring huge cinematic drums and percussion from around the world, you won't find a collection as complete as Stormdrum 3.

And even when you want subtle, tame, more ambient drums and metal hits, it places all of this and more in your arsenal.

Ministry Of Rock 2 was put together with one goal in mind: to create a virtual (software) instrument capable of producing sounds that could actually produce a hit record or film score without any live drum, bass, or guitar overdubs. The articulations and programming were all reverse engineered from actual performances. The 57 gigabyte collection features LIVE technology that enables multi-sampled drums to sound like a live performance.

ProDrummer Volume 1 includes approx. 60 Gigabytes of Drum Kits and MIDI drum grooves produced by Mark "Spike" Stent and multi-award winning EastWest producer Doug Rogers, with drums played by Steven Sidelnyk (Madonna, Seal, Massive Attack).

ProDrummer Volume 2 includes approx. 40 Gigabytes of Drum Kits and MIDI drum grooves produced by Joe Chiccarelli and multi-award winning EastWest producer Doug Rogers, with drums played by Matt Chamberlain (Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, Peter Gabriel, etc.).

If you're a serious composer, EastWest/Quantum Leap Hollywood Orchestral Percussion Diamond Edition is a must-have compositional tool.

Do your compositions lack impact?

If you're looking for an exercise in mangling, no library will take you farther than The Dark Side. With a vast collection of crushed, battle-scarred drums, guitars, keys and more, it was designed with a single purpose in mind: to push conventional instruments beyond the point of recognition and take a stand against bland, sterile recordings. It would be impossible to ask for more attitude and grunge than is available to you here.
