Critic Reviews

Somerville Sounds Releases FREE Soft Drums Lite - Bedroom Producers Blog

bedroomproducersblog.com

Somerville Sounds' Soft Drums Lite offers a unique "in-between" drum sound ideal for folk and acoustic music, using ProMark Broomsticks and a fluffy kick beater. This free, lite version is accessible without Kontakt Player, making it user-friendly, though it lacks the customization options of its full counterpart. With a no-frills interface, it might not impress those seeking extensive features. The pricing model is flexible, but the suggested $5 might still feel steep for some, given its simplicity. Overall, it's a handy addition for specific genres but not groundbreaking.
