mint sounding dynamic easy to program

If your looking for that hybird sounding kit but want ease of programming drum labs the one for you you'll need kontakt 5 player to generate the sounds as a standalone or vst but its worth every penny and sounds mint bascically two different versions of the same drum can be layered and manipulated to create a new drum patch this applies to all the drums in the entire kit the great thing is that drum lab is dynamic an versatile and an absolute must if your after that hybrid sound and its idiot proof when it comes to programming and creating your own kits on it. Great vst.....
