A drum sample pack featuring kicks, snares, and toms from Krimh Drums, recorded by Jens Bogren. Includes WAV and Slate Trigger 2 TCI files with multiple round robins and velocity layers for realistic metal drum replacement.
Purpose and Content
Krimh Drums – Mix Samples delivers the signature sound of the Krimh Drums virtual instrument as standalone audio files. This pack is designed for producers who want the thunderous, modern drum tones from that instrument without installing the full drum software. It includes kicks, snares, and toms, captured with multiple round robins and velocity layers to maintain a natural, dynamic feel.
The samples were recorded by producer Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios, with drumming by Kerim “Krimh” Lechner. This professional recording setup ensures consistent, mix-ready tones. The pack is ideal for metal productions, providing a clean foundation for drum replacement or enhancement in any DAW, whether you are working with programmed drums or reinforcing live recordings.
Key Capabilities
A major feature is the inclusion of TCI files specifically crafted for Slate Trigger 2, the industry-standard drum triggering software. These files come with presets designed by Jens Bogren, allowing you to start with his preferred microphone blend. You can also adjust the balance of direct, overhead, and room microphones yourself, giving you control over the spatial character and punch of each hit.
For users who do not use Slate Trigger 2, the pack also provides .WAV files containing all articulations and round robins. These universal files can be loaded into any sampler or drum replacement software, making the pack flexible across different setups. This dual-format approach ensures broad compatibility without sacrificing the detailed, realistic attack and sustain of the drums.
Workflow Integration
In Slate Trigger 2, load the TCI files and apply Jens’s presets to instantly get a mix-ready drum sound. You can tweak the microphone blend to suit your production, from tight and dry to wide and ambient. This workflow is particularly efficient for replacing weak or inconsistent drum tracks with powerful, consistent samples.
For other samplers, drag the WAV files into your preferred instrument and map them across your MIDI controller or drum rack. The round robins and velocity layers will trigger naturally, preserving the organic variations of real drumming. One-shots are also available by selecting the hardest hits from the WAV folder, so you can create punchy, uniform samples for genres like EDM or hip-hop if needed.
Practical Applications
This pack is tailored for metal music production, where powerful, modern drum sounds are essential. Use it to replace live drums that lack impact, or to augment programmed drums with realistic textures. The samples work in any DAW, making them a versatile tool for mixing, producing, or composing, especially when you need quick, professional drum sounds without heavy processing.
Beyond metal, the samples can add energy to rock, hard rock, or any aggressive genre. The included round robins ensure that repeated hits do not sound machine-gun like, which is crucial for fast blast beats or intricate fills. Whether you are a producer, mixer, or songwriter, these samples offer a practical solution for achieving a polished drum track in demanding productions.
