What the plugin looks like
What it does
Early-90s death metal drums, dry and tight. A punchy, mid-scooped kick, a medium-tuned snare and natural toms, with no big room to clean up. Turn ROT for decay and asymmetric distortion. It puts a growl in the low-mids and tames the fizz, and the level stays put. No mic blending, no sample hunting, no trigger setup. Load it, play your blast or your D-beat, and get back to the riff. Old-school death, blackened death, any dry metal.
Features
- ROT knob: decay and distortion, a growl in the low-mids.
- Kit variants Natural and Raw [CONFIRM VARIANT NAMES], plus 5 presets (Default, Raw / dry, Tight, Roomy, Big and loud).
- Tune knob (kick/snare/toms ±3 semitones) and six faders: Kick, Snare, Toms, Cymbals, Room, Master.
- MIDI map menu for common drum-map quirks, plus a groove player (play/stop/loop, follows file tempo) for your own MIDI.
- VST3 + standalone for Windows. Real open-licence recordings (CC BY 4.0 + CC0), credited inside the plugin.
