Play drums and adjust kit piece settings

Drum Kit Designer shows a 3D representation of the drum kit for the currently loaded patch or
plug-in setting.

For all kits, you can play the drums; edit the pitch, sustain, and volume of each drum kit piece;
and exchange the kick and snare drums. When working with Producer Kits, you can additionally
exchange toms, cymbals, and hi-hat. Producer Kits also let you turn different microphones, such
as overheads or room mics, on or off.

Note: Producer Kits and some drums are only available after you download additional content.

Drum Kit Designer also provides additional settings for adjusting the gain of other instrument
pieces, such as the shaker, cowbell, and so on.
