Andrew Aversa of Impact Soundworks has published a video in which he shows that you don’t need to buy a new library if you want to have brand new, cutting-edge hybrid drum sounds for your tracks.
A little creativity, layering, and the default plugins that come with your DAW will get you a long way, and in this video Andrew shows how he layers a Zebra 2 drum patch with some acoustic drums from the Tokyo Scoring Drum Kits library.
Learn how composer and ISW developer Andrew Aversa creates epic and hybrid drums — a technique you can use with almost any drum sample library you already own, along with any well-rounded synth plugin! Andrew walks you through how to create and layer a synth drum patch with acoustic drums, then process them using tools you may already have, for a full, epic sound that’s perfect for scoring, trailer music, and more.
