Dive into the gritty essence of '90s rock and beyond with the ujam BRUTE, a virtual drummer plugin designed to deliver the raw, unpolished power of grunge, punk, and nu-metal. Perfect for musicians seeking to inject their tracks with the intense energy of live drumming, BRUTE stands out with its ability to compete with walls of distorted guitars while maintaining character and detail.

BRUTE's sound design is rooted in the revolutionary rock aesthetics of the early ‘90s, capturing the rebellious spirit that defined a generation. Whether you're crafting the next grunge anthem or a punk rock masterpiece, BRUTE provides the tools you need. The plugin offers five genre-specific drum kits, each meticulously crafted to embody different styles, from the fat, low-tuned DARK kit ideal for stoner rock, to the punchy, aggressive DIRTY kit for double-time punk rhythms.

What sets BRUTE apart is its innovative use of three distinct microphone sets that capture the full spectrum of drum sounds. The 'Smack' mic emphasizes attack transients for that cutting edge, while the 'Grit' and 'Clean' mics offer warm, organic tones and polished clarity respectively. Blend these characteristics seamlessly with the Smack and Grit controls to sculpt your perfect drum sound.
