Handy Drums- POP BRUSHES
Handy Drums POP BRUSHES – the perfect solution for adding a discreet and nuanced background beat to your music. The crisp and present top-end of this brush kit gives them a reduced mid-range and plenty of natural body, making them the ideal choice for staying out of the way of the vocals in the mix.
The snare has been sampled at full dynamic range, including rimshots, delivering everything from gentle brush sweeps to powerful accents. Moreover, this brushes kit offers a warm and soft attack on the kick with a longer natural sustain, providing just the right ambiance to its tone.
Although softer than sticks, the loudest brush snare hits are robust and thick, perfect for everything from natural singer-songwriter tunes to full-on 80s deep snares. With external post-processing, you can transform the brushes to fit various genres. We have provided the cleanest and clearest samples to ensure they apply to as many musical styles as possible.
So if you’re looking for an instrument that will provide discreet backing while driving the beat forward with certainty, look no further than Handy Drums POP BRUSHES. Whether you’re an acoustic pop artist or a seasoned producer, these brushes are the perfect addition to your arsenal of musical tools.
Combine them with our Handy Grooves SONGWRITER BRUSHES, midi loop collection for unmatched groove and realism.
This product is included in the Producer Collection plugin bundle.
WHEN THE BUDGET IS TIGHT, BUT YOU NEED REALISTIC-SOUNDING, PROFESSIONAL-QUALITY DRUM TRACKS FOR YOUR PROJECT, HANDY DRUMS ARE HERE FOR YOU.
With stunning drum sound, mix-ready right out of the box, Handy Drums are the most practical, professional virtual drum instruments for your recording project.
PRE-MIXED, READY TO USE
Wouldn’t you rather focus on making music instead of trying to make a usable drum sound? Getting drums to sound great on a recording takes significant time and effort, even when you are highly experienced and have the highest fidelity recordings to work with.
We spent many hours painstakingly editing and carefully mixing Pop Brushes from multitrack recordings, so you don’t have to.
We used a combination of close mics, overhead (O/H) mics, and room mics to make the Pop Brushes to sound authentic and natural, ensuring they sit just right in the mix!
Every kit and percussion setup has a very balanced sound–not too hyped and not too dry.

CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED DRUM SOUND
Drum sounds behind the hit drum machine are here for your DAW!
Goran Rista, the producer of Handy Drums, used much the same recording and production procedure he did for BeatBuddy’s original drumsets, an award-winning, best-selling drum machine.
The revered drum sounds that have made the BeatBuddy such a hit with live performers are now available in their expanded versions for your recording projects.

All offer some very interesting options and, individually, they are an absolute steal given just how good they sound.

MULTIPLE DYNAMIC LEVELS
Each drum and cymbal was sampled at multiple dynamic levels to ensure the instrument’s fullest dynamic range when played back. Handy Drums Pop Brushes contain up to 13 dynamic levels per instrument.
The samples respond accordingly with a very realistic sound and response.
– RECORDING MAGAZINE
Throughout our tests, we never noticed any clipping or struggling to keep pace with our shifting tempo, even when aggressively swinging between extreme bpm and more leisurely paced plods.

ROUND ROBIN
Up to 12 samples per dynamic level
When a drummer hits a drum, each subsequential strike is ever so slightly different from the one preceding, no matter how consistently they are played. That’s why our ear can instantly tell the difference between a roll played by a real human and a single sample being played over again by a computer.
Each drum and cymbal has been sampled numerous times at every dynamic level. During playback, no sample is repeated sequentially, but a different sample is triggered. This is particularly useful on Pop Brushes beats which may use a lot of snare notes in succession.
This culminates in the impression of a drummer hitting each drum with minor variations each time. Something many other ‘realistic’ VIs never quite nail.
– COMPUTER MUSIC
24BIT SAMPLE DEPTH
All Handy Drums samples are captured in 24bit wav format for the ultimate resolution and highest fidelity sound.
IMMACULATELY-SAMPLED ACOUSTIC DRUMS
To achieve larger-than-life yet completely natural-sounding drums, every step of the sampling process is critical. Whether it is drum selection, skin selection, drum tuning, room selection and treatment, mic choice and placement they all play a part in achieving the desired result.
All our samples are captured using the highest-quality mics, preamps, and converters to preserve every little detail.
UNPARALLELED REALISM FROM VIRTUAL DRUMS
Sound so natural; you can almost touch them.
Handy Drums Pop Brushes sound like an actual drumset being played right in front of you in a room instead of a bunch of individual drums sounding in their own isolated spaces.
We achieved this realism by recording the full breadth of acoustic drums and their original ambiance, then meticulously edited and mixed them in the post-production.
The sound is very much like you are listening to the drums within a beautifully treated, compact studio room.
