Gospel Musicians Releases Gospel Drummer

Gospel Musicians has released Gospel Drummer, a virtual drum instrument that they say is designed specifically for gospel, contemporary worship, R&B, neo-soul, and urban music production. They tell us that Gospel Drummer combines deeply sampled acoustic gospel drum kits with an extensive MIDI groove library, flexible microphone routing, drag-and-drop MIDI, and integrated sound-shaping tools for studio production and live performance. Here's the details direct from the company...

The instrument was created to deliver the expressive dynamics, tight kicks, musical snares, warm cymbals, powerful room sound, and energetic playing style associated with modern gospel drumming.

Key features:
• Two high-quality gospel drum kits: Professionally sampled acoustic kits designed for
gospel, worship, R&B, neo-soul, and urban music.
