Arena Rock Drums brings the classic 80’s drum sound back to your music. A virtual drum library built for the drum tone of 80s Rock and Hair Metal, which its vendor also points at modern Synth-wave and Synth-Pop.

Multi-sampled and driven by Ugritone’s own sampling engine, it runs as a plugin inside a DAW and as a standalone application. The kit is listed piece by piece, each shell and cymbal named by make and size.

At a Glance

  • Five snare drums a DW Collector’s Brass, three Ludwigs and a custom PVC shell, each named with its size
  • Five toms all Tama ArtStar — 12x11, 13x12, 14x13, 16x14 and 18x16
  • Eight cymbals named four Paiste, two Zildjian and two Zultan, given by model and size
  • Nine kit presets every one of them named, offered as a starting point per genre and style
  • Two kicks stated the field names one of them, a Tama ArtStar 24x16

An 80s drum sound is a production, not a drum kit. That is why the nine presets sit beside the shell list rather than under it: the drums and cymbals named above are the raw material, and names like Sunset Strip 1984 and Monster Ballad 89 are the part that puts them in the decade.
