Soul Drums for Kontakt is a meticulously crafted virtual drum library that delivers the rich, warm, and organic sound of classic soul, Motown, and vintage R&B recordings.
Perfect for producers, composers, and beatmakers aiming to recreate the golden era of groove, this library captures the character of live acoustic drum kits recorded through analog gear for an authentic retro vibe.
Featuring deeply sampled drum kits played by seasoned session drummers, Soul Drums includes a wide range of articulations—such as soft brushes, sticks, rimshots, ghost notes, flams, and rolls—with multiple velocity layers and round robins to ensure dynamic, humanized performance.
The sounds are often recorded in vintage studios using ribbon mics, tube preamps, and analog tape, giving them a warm and saturated tone.
Key features may include:
Groove-based MIDI patterns and fills inspired by classic soul and funk tracks
Multi-mic setup for customizable mixing (kick, snare, toms, overheads, room mics)
Built-in vintage-style effects, including tape saturation, reverb, EQ, and compression
Drag-and-drop MIDI grooves for fast workflow integration
Intuitive interface with controls for tuning, velocity response, mic balance, and swing feel
Playable kits and pre-made loops, perfect for both programming and live-style triggering
Whether you’re working on smooth ballads, funky instrumentals, or cinematic soul-inspired scores, Soul Drums for Kontakt delivers the timeless sound and expressive nuance needed to elevate your rhythm section.
