At the bottom of the GUI, you will see four pages in total that include Stage, Source, Settings, and Master FX. Within the Drum Ensemble Designer, you will find 15 preset categories labeled Ambient Ghosts, Buddha Kit, Cinematic Stealth, Crunchy Cinematic, Cymbal Reverses, Drumming Circle, Epic Trailer Drum Kit 1 (Hyped), Epic Trailer Drum Kit 1, Epic Trailer Drum Kit 2 (Hyped), Epic Trailer Drum Kit 2, Fill R Up- Toms (Hyped), Fill R Up-Toms, Hi-Hats and Cymbals, Snare Performance Combos, and Sticks Clacks and Whacks. Damage Drum Kit is set up the same way as Damage 2.When you load Damage Drum Kit, you will see three NKI’s named Drum Ensemble Designer, Kit Designer, and Loop Designer. If you are not familiar with the Damage engine, I will go over it. There is just something about the Damage engine that excels beyond so many other drum and percussion libraries. However, Heavyocity managed to give us an impressive summer gift.
A hard-hitting, bold, rock-influenced kit was what I was hoping for in a future release, but I wasn't expecting a Damage drum library this year. Damage Drum Kit comes rolling in like a freight train, and wow: was I surprised.
