by AVA Music Group
AVA PRISM Drums Lite Edition is one drum instrument with six production-ready kits inside it: Modern Pop, Retro Pop, Trailer, Indie Pop, Hip-Hop, and Lo-Fi. The samples are mixed to sit in a modern production without extra processing, which is the main selling point. Load a kit, play it, and it sounds like the drums on a recent pop or hip-hop record. The Kontakt interface gives you streamlined sound-shaping controls (envelope, pitch, filters, effects) without overwhelming you with options.
I’ve used the Lo-Fi and Hip-Hop kits for beat sketches that ended up close to final versions, which isn’t something I can say about a lot of free drum libraries. Needs Kontakt Player 7 or higher.
