The full story

Want lively, realistic sounding drums without using loops or hiring a session drummer? The Reason Drum Kits ReFill gives you gigabytes of masterfully multisampled, perfectly playable, multiple output drum kits for Reason's NN-XT sampler. Propellerhead’s objective was the creation of a drum system with the emphasis on realism. Their engineers took the utmost care in applying all the trusted and proven techniques for live drum recording, using the appropriate blend of vintage and ultra modern technology. This extensive library of life-like, multi-sampled drum kits is mapped out across your MIDI keyboard in a familiar way, but with an important twis—these sampled drums actually sound like actual drums. Mix your own drums

All the instruments in the kits were captured at multiple velocity levels using multiple microphones—all of which are represented on separate channels in Reason’s mixer whenever you load up a kit. So by adjusting the levels of the Close, Overhead and Ambience microphones, you can fully shape and control the sound of your drum kits. You can even add compression, EQ or effects to individual drums. Essentially, this is like putting a top-notch recording room, drum kit and drummer right into your computer. Propellerhead has taken care of the tricky, boring and expensive work, leaving you in command of the creative parts: the playing and the mixing! Build your own kits

Like everything else in Reason, putting together your own personal drum kits using individual drums, hi-hats and cymbals from different kits is a breeze. Lifting an ambient snare from one kit, and an overhead tom from another is not a problem; Reason lets you copy and paste instruments and all their related samples and velocity layers in one go, allowing you to create drum kits containing up to a thousand samples with just a few mouse clicks. Forget multisampling – this is hypersampling

The Reason Drum Kits were recorded in acoustical environments tailor-made for drums, using the finest blend of vintage and modern technology. In order to capture all the details and nuances of the featured kits, each instrument was recorded at all possible velocity levels, from a variety of distances and positions. So when you hammer out a two-handed snare fill on your MIDI keyboard, you can be sure the same sample is never triggered twice in a row. All mic positions and velocity levels included, the Reason Drum Kits use around 70 samples for one single key. Which adds up to about 800 different samples in one kit! Which makes 10,000 drum and cymbal samples and an infinite number of extremely versatile, dynamic-sounding drum kits that are a joy to play. Here’s why hypersampling is so realistic:
multiple velocity levels capture each instrument’s full dynamic range.
multiple microphones capture and control distance, ambience and character
multiple same velocity samples let Reason’s NN-XT automatically alternate between sets of similar sounding samples for a more realistic performance
multiple variation sampling captures the human input and the different techniques, grips and playing styles that bring life to an instrument
