The Ideal Japanese Drum Sound "Tokyo Scoring Drum Kits" is a drum sound library designed primarily by Mitsuki Aizawa and created in collaboration with drummer Ken Higeshishiro. It captures the authentic sound of five drum kits and drum ensembles, allowing you to cover a wide range of musical styles, from rhythmic anime openings to jazz fusion and intense battle scenes. Following "Tokyo Scoring Strings," it was recorded at SOUND CITY studio. It features multiple sample sets, including "Full Mix," which maximizes mixing flexibility by freely manipulating SOUND CITY's overwhelming and distinctly Japanese room sound; "Aizawa Mix," which is thoroughly mixed using Aizawa's hardware; and "Board Mix," which minimizes CPU usage and is optimized for composition. Furthermore, the drum kits offer a rich selection of microphone positions, including up to three spot mics (snare top/top/bottom), overheads, and three types of ambient mics. The samples even include subtle "noises" that occur when a human plays, such as pre-roll before the sound is produced, the sound of air cutting before the stick hits the drumhead, and the sound of the kick drum beater, achieving a natural performance. It also includes five meticulously crafted drum kits optimized for various musical styles such as rock, pop, and metal. Each kit is meticulously recorded with up to 10 dynamics/round robins, and you can combine the components of these kits to create your ideal sound.
