Product Overview

Tom Factory is a comprehensive percussion library featuring over 35 drums, including concert toms, roto toms, octobans, and kick drums, all designed for cinematic scoring. The library captures both intimate, crisp tones and expansive impacts, making it suitable for action-packed trailers and blockbuster scores.

Details

The collection includes more than 80 articulations, ranging from detailed solo hits to powerful ensemble performances, recorded in Nave Studios, a former church known for its lively acoustic. The toms are captured in both solo and ensemble configurations, with a focus on concert toms that provide a sharper, more focused tone due to their lack of resonant heads.

Tom Factory features seven roto toms that produce a sharp, resonant sound, ideal for layering, alongside kick drums that add depth to the collection. The library employs a variety of sticks and techniques, including nylon brushes and soft mallets, to achieve a wide range of timbres. It offers six distinct mixes, allowing for quick integration into various musical styles, from polished and modern to deep and powerful.

With a user-friendly interface, the library includes controls for shaping sound, such as Punch for transient emphasis and Decay Trim for managing reverb tails. The Ensemble Stack feature enhances the size of the ensemble by layering samples, while the Rhythm Page provides a step sequencer for creating tempo-synced patterns. This combination of features makes Tom Factory a versatile tool for composers looking to craft impactful percussion tracks.
