Gospel Musicians has announced the release of a virtual drum instrument designed specifically for gospel, contemporary worship, R&B, neo-soul, and urban music production.
Gospel Drummer combines deeply sampled acoustic gospel drum kits with an extensive MIDI groove library, flexible microphone routing, drag-and-drop MIDI, and integrated sound-shaping tools for studio production and live performance.
The instrument was created to deliver the expressive dynamics, tight kicks, musical snares, warm cymbals, powerful room sound, and energetic playing style associated with modern gospel drumming.
