Kitcore Features:

Legendary Drummers' Kits With KitCore you get drumkits and Latin percussion sounds used by legendary, hit-proven players. KitCore Deluxe includes drumkits by Jeff Anthony (Sheryl Crow), Ben Smith (Heart), John Bishop (Mark Murphy, Ernie Watts), Terry Bozzio (Jeff Beck, Frank Zappa, Missing Persons). Matt Sorum (Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver), Tony Braunagel (Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal), DJ Syze-up (UltraNate), Ned Douglas (Dave Stewart, Simply Red) Sly Dunbar (Bob Marley), Michael Shrieve (Santana), Alan White (John Lennon, Yes). Lonnie Wilson (Brooks & Dunn, Rascal Flatts) and Zoro (Lenny Kravitz, Bobby Brown).

Great Sounds, Recorded "In The Style"
Using the best of digital and analog, the kit's tone is burned-in at the sample level for great sound with minimal CPU load. From priceless Pultecs to vintage Neumann mics — get the sound of a multi-million dollar studio on your laptop. All KitCore drumkits are 48kHz/24 bit, so there is extra headroom at the sample level (many libraries are only 16 bit) and you are assured the best fidelity in 24 bit.

Huge Sonic Variety
KitCore Deluxe provides a wide palette of drum sounds, covering most popular music genres. You get brushed country kits, heavy rock drums, electronic/urban sounds, Latin percussion and more. All with the award-winning DrumCore™ sound.! KitCore has 48 pads you can load with different drum sounds. Also you can mix-and-match components (snares, kicks, etc.) to create personalized, "hybrid" kits. Plus you can have multiple tracks of KitCore with each track loaded with a different set of 48 sounds.

KitCore is not just about acoustic, 5-piece kits. If you want an acoustic groove, with an electronic drum breakdown and a Latin shaker thing — go for it! KitCore Deluxe delivers the variety to keep up with your creativity. Where else could you find Terry Bozzio's "big kit" featuring 4 kick drums and custom China cymbals.

KitCore can also access DrumCore's MIDI drumkits (including user-created kits) if a user has DrumCore or DrumCore LT installed.

KitPacks
New KitPacks can be downloaded from submersiblemusic.com to fuel your appetite for new sounds. Just posted is a custom-built Red Acrylic Pork Pie kit for only $10. Stay tuned for a steady flow of cool sounds.

Over 3000 MIDI grooves

Plus KitCore Deluxe is GM compatible, so it works with a huge number of MIDI libraries and controllers.
