[Peter DeLegge]

The secret to making an average drum recording sound incredible can be elusive. It takes the right combination of processors, with the perfect sonic character, in the correct configuration and tweaked in the right way. Drumstrip takes drum sounds from ordinary and average to vibrant and exhilarating in a few quick, easy steps.

Plug in, switch on and experiment. Drumstrip handles the hard part; putting the right selection of fantastic sounding processing tools in your hands in an instant.

With Drumstrip, DAW users can attain increased presence, clarity and detail in their drum tracks; reduce spill in individual tracks; restore natural brightness; achieve greater perceived loudness; shorten or lengthen the attack and sustain of percussive signals; tighten up booming toms; make kicks and snares stand out in a mix; and parallel compress room mics.

Features
All the components for a stellar drum mix in a single channel-strip-style plug-in
Transient shaper to manipulate attack and sustain for maximum impact
Dedicated drum gate to clean up mic bleed and unwanted background noise
High-frequency enhancer for a vibrant high end
Low-frequency enhancer for a tight and booming low end
Classic SSL listen mic compressor gives you the legendary, inimitable drum sound
Reorder the processors for a truly customized signal chain

I bought this the other day. I downloaded and tested it on our band’s rehearsal tracks. I have a template in Cakewalk that I import the unprocessed multi-tracks that our Soundcraft Ui24R can record internally. I have a drum bus that I applied this too and it was easy to improve the sound of the kick, snare and cymbals.

@dsteinschneider So clearly, you liked the demo enough to buy it. What are your initial thoughts on it?

I find it’s gate works better on individual drum tracks to quiet down bleed from other drums than the gates included in mixer strips. The default preset on the drum bus with just a bit more “amount” for low end enhancer and high end enhancer improved punch and clarity. Transient shaper and mic listen compressor are on also but at default settings.
