Spicy grooves.

A drummer’s drummer, Tom Brechtlein is a seasoned vet with a versatile skill set that is evidenced by the talented artists who have chosen to work with him, including Chick Corea, Kenny Loggins, Wayne Shorter, Jean-Luc Ponty, Christopher Cross, and Robben Ford.
Home grown.
Tom Brechlein Drums Vol. 2 was recorded in Studio One® at PreSonus®’ own River City Studio. Designed from the ground up by renowned architect and acoustician John Storyk of Walters-Storyk Design Group, River City Studio has hosted such artists as Terrance Higgins, Reba McEntire Band, Ethan Hawke, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Nothing More, Mutemath, Charlie Hunter, and Louisiana's own LeRoux, to name a few.
Beats for days.
Volume 2 features 4 Impact XT preset kits that have been optimized for use with the PreSonus ATOM controller, plus 135 Audioloops in many styles, including Latin, jazz, swing, ballad, bossa nova, mambo, rumba, and more, all recorded at 24-bit, 96 kHz resolution. Stereo versions of each loop are included, along with one-shot samples of the drum kit.
Unique to this drum library, intros and fill patterns flow naturally into the groove, so that cymbal sustain carries over a loop start point to create a more nuanced, natural aesthetic. Other loop packs don’t do this, resulting in unnaturally abrupt cymbal and tom cutoff.
Outros that don't start on the downbeat are often tied into their groove as well, making it easier to place them in the timeline. Count-offs have been left in many of the intros to allow greater flexibility in creating pickup beats without hours of frustration trying to properly place them on the right beat.
Stereo or HD. Your choice.
Tom Brechtlein Drums Vol. 2 is available in stereo only or HD, which includes both stereo and multitrack formats. Either format includes one-shot samples of the drum kit and a multi-layer Impact instrument. Whether you want to play the kit yourself on an ATOM controller or add Tom Brechtlein’s signature style to your production, this library will inspire your creativity and add a little (or a lotta) funk to just about anything.
