Add a unique character to your tracks with Handy Drums MALLETS, a virtual drum instrument. With its softened and reduced high-frequency content, this instrument delivers a distinct sound that is both clear and well-tuned.
Reminiscent of classical timpani, the toms are perfect for adding a dramatic quality to a track or imbuing it with a dark and menacing character. But that’s not all – these versatile drums can also sound just as great in an upbeat and happy-sounding track, providing a jovial melodic beat.
If you’re a producer or arranger, Handy Drums MALLETS is an excellent addition to your toolkit. Whether you’re working on a theatre production, a musical, or a film score, these drums will give your music a different dimension. And with the addition of mallets on cymbals, you’ll have the perfect tool for creating swells and building dramatic tension in ballads, gospel tracks, or any other genre.
With its broad range of uses and styles, Handy Drums MALLETS is the “ace in the pocket” that every serious producer and arranger needs. So why delay? Try it out for yourself and experience the power of this amazing virtual drum instrument!

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 Mallets were recorded at up to 10 dynamic levels.
ROUND ROBIN
Up to 10 samples per dynamic level
Our ear instantly knows when a computer plays the same sample repeatedly (such as a drum roll). This is because when a real human hits a drum, each stroke that follows is always slightly different from the previous one, regardless of how great a drummer they are.
Each Handy Drum Mallets drum and cymbal has been sampled numerous times at every dynamic level. During playback, a different sample is triggered each time, ensuring that no sample is repeated sequentially.
24BIT SAMPLES
All Handy Drums samples were recorded in 24bit wav format for the finest resolution and sound quality.
IMMACULATELY-SAMPLED ACOUSTIC DRUMS
To achieve larger-than-life yet completely natural-sounding drums, every step of the sampling process is just as important. Starting with choosing the right drum for the job, tuning them, placing them and the microphones in the right place, every aspect of the process was carefully thought out before even a single note was played.
The instrument and room are then captured using the highest-quality mics, preamps, and converters to preserve every fine detail.
UNPARALLELED REALISM FROM VIRTUAL DRUMS
Sound so natural; you can almost touch them.
Handy Drums 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 separate spaces.
We achieved this realism by recording the full breadth of acoustic drums and their natural ambiance, then meticulously editing and mixing them in post-production.
