Discrete Drums Review
"All the elements are well recorded, but the room tracks are what really define this collection. When mixing, I particularly liked adding the Big Room track, which was recorded well back from the kit. It makes the mix come alive and sound really huge. The Room track was recorded closer, but also adds significant ambience. Heavy Mental Drums is another winning library for Discrete Drums. If you need large-sounding, flashy drum loops for your metal or rock tracks, you won't be disappointed."

Discrete Drums - "Heavy Mental" Review
"Loading the 48kHz multitrack files into Pro Tools was a snap. Just have a quick listen on the audition CDs, find what you like and start working. The cuts feature popular session drummer Tony Morra and were cut at Sound Kitchen's Big Boy room (just outside Nashville in nearby Franklin, Tenn.). The quality of the performances and audio throughout is impeccable. I appreciated accessing 13 separate channels on each project, and for more variation, alternate endings are provided with each project, along with a collection of miscellaneous crashes, count-offs and extra endings for use anywhere. Also, all of the drums are dry-miked and can be combined with the distance mic tracks or with outboard reverb to your taste."

Discrete Drums "Heavy Mental" Drum Sample Library
"I reach for Discrete Drum's Series One when I need quick drums for a soundtrack. The sound quality is excellent, the playing is dynamic and human, and the files are presented in multitrack format so it's easy to mutate the tracks as you want: Process just the snare, replace the kick, bring up the room mics, that sort of thing. As a result, even though it's a drum sample library, you can personalize it to a large degree. So much so, in fact, that I did a remix of it...and put it out as a sample CD called "Turbulent Filth Monsters."
