What the plugin looks like

What it does
70s rock drums with nothing to set up. A warm, woody kick, a ringing snare, open toms and washy cymbals in a natural room. No gate, no tricks. Load it, play, and turn SMOKE: it adds tape-style saturation, darkens the top and lets the room bloom without jumping in level. Want it drier or roomier? Pick a preset. Want to fiddle? There's a small mixer, but you don't need it. Made for classic rock, blues rock, stoner and anything that wants a live room.
Features
- SMOKE knob: tape warmth, darker top, room bloom. Set to 0 for the clean kit.
- Kit variants Natural and Raw [CONFIRM VARIANT NAMES], plus 5 presets: Default, Raw / dry, Tight, Roomy, Big and loud.
- Optional mixer: Kick, Snare, Toms, Cymbals, Room and Master faders, plus a Tune knob (kick/snare/toms ±3 semitones).
- MIDI map menu (GM, merged alternates, pedal hat to closed, flipped toms) and a groove player for your own MIDI files.
- VST3 + standalone for Windows. Real open-licence recordings, credited inside the plugin.
