New York City-based Authentic Soundware has introduced a new sample library that delivers versatile and authentic-sounding jazz drums for the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt.

Jazz Anthology Drums features a number of new sampling and scripting approaches including performance-based “resonant repetitions,” legato-style brush sweeps, and an inspiring jazz-specific take on the classic drum step sequencer.

“Every aspect of Jazz Anthology Drums has been developed and fine-tuned with jazz playing in mind. From the adaptive hi-hat playback, to the tempo-syncable brush sweeps, and innovative ride cymbal resonance handling, users will experience a new level of authenticity in creating jazz drum performances.”

Expanding upon the developer’s experience making Classic Jazz Drums and Space Age Rhythm, Jazz Anthology Drums will offer users greater control over the sound of the instrument and, with approximately 30x more sample content than earlier releases, far more detail and finesse.

Regularly $119 USD, Jazz Anthology Drums is available to purchase for an introductory price of $79 USD until December 2nd, 2024.
