The CrocellKit is the kit used by Danish metal band Crocell. It was sampled while the band was recording their 2018 album Relics. Jacob Olsen of JBOSound kindly let us into the studio after the band had wrapped up drum recordings in 2017. We then spend 5 hours sampling the kit with Jacobs mic setup and this is the result.
This drumkit was prepared with DGEdit, the official DrumGizmo instrument editor. Drumkit and Midimap xml files created with Emacs by using the xml file of another kit as template.
The free drum kit consists of the following drums and cymbals:
- 1 kickdrum (with double pedal)
- 2 hanging toms
- 2 floor toms
- 1 snare
- 1 hihat
- 3 crash cymbals
- 1 ride cymbals
- 2 china cymbal
- 2 splash cymbals
This should be considered a metal or rock kit.
