SmallDrumKits
SmallDrumKits is a collection of 4 different Drum Kits: each with two toms, a snare, a ride, a hihat and a bass.
Overview
FOUR KITS IN ONE
SmallDrumKits is a collection of 4 different drum kits - Kit A, Kit B, Kit C and the older DrumysM - each with two toms, a snare, a ride, a hihat and a bass drum.
The kits have up to 10 velocity layers and 4 round robins (2 for Kit B), with the most common strokes for each instrument, so they are quick to load and easy to play.
