Chris Turner Drums is the product of decades spent obsessing over drums, how to capture their magic, and replicating the logic and variables required to make the product sound as close as humanly possible to Chris's natural playing style. Countless hours were poured into making sure this is the most realistic sounding drum library on the market. No matter if you need massive roomy tones or precise and articulate punch, this library will provide it.
Fully compatible with the free Kontakt Player and distributed via Native Access.

Nerd Stuff
Chris Turner Drums utilizes techniques we developed to intelligently utilize both left and right limb hits on every drum. Logic was derived from data measured from Chris's natural playing tendencies. This ensures the sample playback matches the leading limb Chris would use, resulting in a remarkably realistic sound.
All elements of the kit were sampled with round robins across many velocity layers for both left and right limbs.
