DW – Soundworks v1.5.1 + DW Soundworks Expansion Packs

DW Soundworks® provides creators worldwide with the most authentic drum sounds. This revolutionary software is a virtual instrument that gives drummers, multi-instrumentalists, and producers a sonic palette to find the perfect drum sound.

For over five decades, DW has been creating handcrafted instruments to solve drummers’ problems. Crafted in Oxnard, California, DW drums offer a full range of shell material options, revolutionary shell design, tone matching, and innovative hardware, allowing DW to produce drums as complete instruments. DW has leveraged this experience in the creation, development, and refinement of the DW Soundworks platform. Serving as a virtual instrument, DW Soundworks is a versatile drum production solution, offering a comprehensive collection of drum sounds suitable for a variety of musical styles and genres.

DW Soundworks offers a wide range of processing, controls, and effects to suit the specific atmosphere you’re trying to create. The effects suite includes EQ, compression, reverb, and other processing parameters to shape the sound of your drums. These effects can be applied to individual drum elements or the entire drum kit to customize the sound to your liking.

Recorded at the DW factory using best-in-class microphones, high-quality mic preamps, a variety of compressors and EQs, and other instruments, DW Soundworks samples capture the true tonality of drums as they were intended to sound, delivering an authentic sound. The core library includes drum kit samples from the DW Collector’s Series, featuring DW Pure Maple, DW Pure Almond, DW 50th Anniversary, and DW Maple Mahogany kits, as well as the Metal Legacy kit (formerly Naughty Seal Audio Perfect Drums, on which this sampler is based), Gretsch USA Custom, and Don Lombardi’s personal 1958 Slingerland kit. 

The DW Soundworks sample library will continually expand, and as your sound evolves, new expansion packs will be available to adapt to changing sounds and tastes. Overall, DW Soundworks is a powerful and easy-to-use virtual drum software that meets the needs of both musicians and producers.

If you’re looking for a top-notch drum kit with unrivaled quality, versatility, and realism, DW Soundworks is sure to be an excellent choice for your music production needs.
