The Klangmacht plugins are a great sounding and different approach to the existing world of drum plugins. Well thought out and extremely versatile, they offer a huge variety of sounds. The controls may seem simple at first, but due to interactions between the different sound sources you can create anything between a completely dry, in-your-face and a huge, larger-than-life drumsound. The sound treatment from Charlie Bauerfeind is superb and puts most competitors in their place. This especially shows when using the Randy Black Pearl plugin, which offers a vast variety of drums and percussion, proving why Randy sticks out of the mass of todays Metal drummers. His unique signature sound and style is a great addition to the KlangMacht arsenal in a very intuitive UI. Definitely my go-to drum plugin for my existing and new projects!
The Randy Black plugin sounds absolutely incredible – packed with great articulations and, finally, a 'Damage' control for drums! It’s where sonic and visual attention to detail meets dead-simple usability. Great drums have never been this easy. The MIDI mapping makes perfect sense, and the flams sound amazing – all with that legendary Bauerfeind sound. What more could you ask for? With intuitive control over all the key parameters and stunning sound quality, it really doesn’t get much better than this.
Iconic Sound
This drum set is not an instrument, but a fortress. Equipped with 8 toms and countless cymbals, it is by far the largest drum set in the Klangmacht line. If you like extraordinary sounds alongside pounding metal drums, you've come to the right place. And when all else fails, it's time for the 28" kick drum.
Drummer’s Spirit
Drummer of Destruction and also known for his work with Bif Naked, Annihilator, and Primal Fear, set up his signature drum kit and played all samples in different velocities and articulations. Few drummers have internalized thrash metal as much as Randy - his performance is like a concert of its own that leaves every headbanger with a thick head.
Producer Excellence
Like in all Klangmacht Drum Plugins, the underlying sounds are masterfully shaped by legendary producer Charlie Bauerfeind, a powerhouse in metal production, renowned for his work with bands like Helloween, Blind Guardian, Motörhead, Hammerfall and others. Each microphone was carefully pre-routed to stems, premixed, and preprocessed by Charlie, ensuring that every hit, crash, and thump you trigger is full of character and production-ready, sent with love right into your studio, waiting to be shaped into your next masterpiece.
