The compact starter edition of the Apocalypse Percussion Ensemble: heavy cinematic drums with 28 ensemble articulations, each performed by three to six players in unison.

You get 6 concert snare sets, 5 large tom sets, 7 bass drum sets, 4 Indian dhol sets, 3 Turkish doumbek sets and one each of Irish bodhrán, Egyptian riq and Greek daf, each with 4 to 12 velocity layers and 2 round robins per note. The drums were recorded in the same bright, open hall as the Olympus Symphonic Choir and Montclarion Grand Piano with a wide large-diaphragm close mic array, giving them a potent, open sound with a touch of transparent natural reverberation. Alongside an ensemble preset there is the 8-socket Megamixer kit builder and a dual-layer preset that lets you play any articulation tuned across the keyboard, complemented by an arpeggiator with step sequencer, 15 FX presets and 119 convolution reverb spaces.
