DrumGizmo format is recommended if professional quality is desired. Conversion to other formats are made by FreePats, they are simplified with just one particular mix to stereo, but can be useful for certain cases and still sound very good.

Version 2020-11-25

Multi-channel drum kit edited and prepared by Lars Muldjord for DrumGizmo:

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. We then spend 5 hours sampling the kit with Jacob's mic setup and this is the result.

It provides 15 channels that can be selectively mixed to create many different sound renderings. The kit consist of 1 kickdrum, 2 hanging toms, 2 floor toms, 1 snare, 1 hihat, 3 crash cymbals, 1 ride cymbal, 2 china cymbals, 2 splash cymbals.

The original DrumGuizmo kit is mirrored here for now. Custom versions on SFZ, SF2 and Hydrogen drum kit formats are planned.
