overall loudness, Note Velocity also controls dynamics (up to 12 levels), and notes play
in a round robin (x4) cycle.
36in Ludwig Bass Drum
A 36” bass drum starting on note C1, composed of several different articulations mapped
to the white keys (C1=felt short; D1=felt long; E1=felt roll; F1=felt roll with DXF; G1–
E2=felt crescendos; C3–E4=hard mallet crescendos). It has a deep, rumbling quality with
a strong woody hit on the attack. CC 11 (Expression) and Note Velocity control overall
loudness, Note Velocity also controls dynamics (up to 12 levels), and notes play in a
round robin (x4) cycle.
40in Ludwig Bass Drum
A 40” bass drum starting on note C1, composed of several different articulations mapped
to the white keys (C1=felt short; D1=felt long; E1=felt roll; F1=felt roll with DXF; G1–
E2=felt crescendos; C3–E4=hard mallet crescendos). It has a strong low frequency rum-
ble and a firm attack, making it a viable all-around bass drum for a range of small and
large ensemble settings. CC 11 (Expression) and Note Velocity control overall loudness,
Note Velocity also controls dynamics (up to 12 levels), and notes play in a round robin
(x4) cycle.
12in Lefima Tambourine
A 12” tambourine starting on note C1, composed of several different articulations mapped
to the white keys (C1=hits; D1=slow roll; E1=slow roll with DXF; F1=tight roll; G1=tight
roll with DXF; A1=crescendos; B1=roll then hit). The jingles have a splashy quality, and
the frequency spread is focused on in the high end, allowing it to sit over top of an orches-
tral arrangement easily and make the mixing process more efficient. CC 11 (Expression)
and Note Velocity control overall loudness, Note Velocity also controls dynamics (up to 8
levels), and notes play in a round robin (x4) cycle.
Black Swamp Tambourine
A tambourine starting on note C1, composed of several different articulations mapped to
the white keys (C1=hits; D1=slow roll; E1=slow roll with DXF; F1=tight roll; G1=tight roll
with DXF; A1=crescendos; B1=roll then hit). There’s some harshness in the 2-5k area that
allow it to cut through the percussion section better than other tambourines, plus a light
mid range body resonance that gives it added character. CC 11 (Expression) and Note
Velocity control overall loudness, Note Velocity also controls dynamics (up to 6 levels),
and notes play in a round robin (x8) cycle.
Ludwig Headless Tambourine
A tambourine starting on note C1, composed of several different articulations mapped to
the white keys (C1–D1=hits; E1=slow roll; F1=slow roll with DXF). The absence of a head
membrane cuts out any fundamental, focusing more energy to the characteristic jingles
around the edge, allowing them to cut through easily and giving them a more pointed
quality. CC 11 (Expression) and Note Velocity control overall loudness, Note Velocity also
controls dynamics (up to 6 levels), and notes play in a round robin (x4) cycle.
Concert Toms
An array of floor toms starting on note C1, each composed of the same 3 articulations
(left-hand hit, right-hand hit, flam) mapped to the white keys across several octaves. The
toms include an 18” floor tom (C1), a 16” floor tom (F1), another 16” floor tom (C2), a
14” floor tom (F2), a 13” floor tom (C3), a 12” floor tom (F3), a 10” floor tom (C4), and
