Read on for the full details, as provided by EASTWEST:
The range of drums and percussion instruments used to make it (see below) is mouth watering for composers, producers and sound designers in search of dramatic new sounds.Īvailable on Jfor $395.00 at and €295 at (for European customers). You’ll need to make space on your hard drive for this one: SD3 packs 90 gigabytes of all new percussion sounds. For SD3, Phoenix’ collaborators include Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead, along with Greg Ellis, Chalo Eduardo, and Remo from Remo Drumheads.
Stormdrum 3 was produced by Nick Phoenix, who also created the Stormdrum 1 and 2 percussion collections, and made SD3 with rhythm, musicality and big scores very much in mind. Designed for film, TV, and game composers, it’s been designed to “set a new standard in percussion sound quality and performance,” and judging by what went into it, the creators have a good chance of hitting that mark.
One of the mightiest percussion-based virtual instruments that we’ve come across is ready to launch from EASTWEST, in the form of Quantum Leap Stormdrum 3 (SD3). StormDrum 3 - it’s going to be a big hit.
