World class sound library

Drumvolution’s sound engine combines beautifully designed analogue / electronic drums and acoustic instruments in a ground-breaking new way. A labour of love with an astonishing level of detail, Drumvolution’s sound library is our biggest achievement to date, spanning 5 years and thousands of hours of sound design.

The sound content that powers Drumvolution was designed, layered and imagined from the ground up using a collection of impressive sources; sought-after modern / vintage analogue drum machines, powerful modular synths, world-class live rooms and acoustic instruments, sound design layering tools, found sound, processed Foley, prepared percussion, re-amped drums, tape machines, intricately layered abstract sounds, and much more…

All captured by mastering-grade conversion via impressive analogue signal chains.
