BLUE: Jazz Drums delivers a comprehensive virtual instrument designed to provide the essential foundation for jazz music production. It features three premium jazz drum kits, including a DW Collectors Series kit and a vintage Slingerland Jazz Series kit from 1978 with a 1965 Slingerland snare, complemented by a selection of Zildjian cymbals. Recorded with both sticks and brushes, these kits capture authentic jazz drum sounds, all produced with high-quality 24-bit recordings through top-tier microphone preamps.
The instrument's interface offers extensive control over every aspect of the drum sound and performance. Users can adjust individual direct, overhead, and room microphones, apply EQ, and add humanizing elements to enhance realism. A wide range of effects is available, including reverb, convolution, distortion, lo-fi, and modulation effects like phaser, chorus, and flanger. BLUE also supports multiple MIDI mappings, making it compatible with popular electronic drum kits for seamless integration.
In addition to the drum kits, BLUE includes over a thousand live-recorded jazz drum loops covering various tempos and styles. These loops come in two formats: full loops that automatically sync to the host tempo and REX-style loop slices that allow users to create custom grooves by rearranging individual slices. This combination of detailed kits and extensive loop content makes BLUE a powerful tool for jazz musicians and producers seeking authentic drum sounds and flexible performance options.
