Handy Drums- STUDIO STANDARD

Meet the Handy Drums STUDIO STANDARD – the virtual drum instrument that will transform your music production! This best-selling VST instrument features the sought-after Yamaha Maple Custom drums, known for their warm and punchy sound that captures the essence of recording studio character.

Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a beginner, the Studio Standard is an excellent kit for contemporary music styles. It’s an all-rounder that is suitable for any genre you’re working on. The sound of these drums is “close up” with crispy presence and short sustain, giving you a clear and focused sound that sits flawlessly in your mix.

The snare is snappy and deep with a real sizzly snare wire character that cuts through the mix. The kick is weighty, short, and punches through the speakers, providing you with a solid foundation for your beats. The toms have a clear note and a fast release, making them ideal for those big hits.

The hi-hats and cymbals are equally impressive, with plenty of presence, that blend seamlessly with the rest of the drums. With the Studio Standard, you’ll get an immaculate balance of sound, ensuring that your tracks sound polished and professional.

The Yamaha Maple Custom drums have become the industry standard over the last few decades, and for a good reason. We chose these drums specifically because of their warmth and punch.

If you’re looking for a “swiss army knife” kind of drum kit, then the STUDIO STANDARD, with its full suite of acoustic percussion, is an exceptional choice.

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 STUDIO DRUMS

No need to waste time getting a decent studio drum sound anymore. Instead, you can focus that time on your creativity elsewhere on your track.

Achieving a quality studio drum sound takes a significant amount of time, even when you are highly skilled for the task and have the best drum recording, to begin with.

We invested hours upon hours painstakingly editing and carefully mixing drums from multitrack recordings so you don’t have to.

Our studio drum set and all other handy drums are recorded with numerous microphones, including close mics, overhead mics, and room mics, and then they are expertly blended to recreate the true stereo image and ambiance as it was in the recording room. This immediately allows the drums to sit well inside your mix.

EASY TO USE AND MANIPULATE

Load the Handy Drums Studio Standard plugin, drop in your favorite MIDI drum beat, and you’re good to go! – On your way to a killer groove! We did the heavy lifting for you—an awesome drum sound right out of the box. You are free to focus on the musical aspects of the drum track.

CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED DRUM SOUND

Drum sounds behind the hit drum machine are finally here for your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)!

Goran Rista, the producer of Handy Drums, used the same recording and production methods he did for BeatBuddy’s original drum sets, 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 production software.

UNBEATABLE VALUE

Handy Drums are priced to be affordable to anybody. We understand that creatives can sometimes be strapped for cash but they should not be disadvantaged when it comes to getting the best sound for their music. These virtual drum instruments are the best value you’ll find anywhere.

 

However, the various percussion kits are worth particular attention. All offer some very interesting options and, individually, they are an absolute steal given just how good they sound. These could complement any conventional virtual drum instrument.

3RD PARTY SAMPLERS NOT REQUIRED

The wonderful thing about the STUDIO STANDARD plugin is that no additional samplers are needed to run it. How cool is that? No need to worry if your sample bank is compatible or up to date with the latest sampler or vice versa. Or having to go through complicated installations. Plus you save hundreds of dollars as you don’t need to purchase a sampler in the first place.

All Handy Drums plugins are self-contained and come with multiple powerful samplers built-in. Load them like any standard VST/AU plugin or a stand-alone app.

 

You’ll be grooving in a few minutes.

PRACTICAL, INTUITIVE, EASY-TO-USE INTERFACE

“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Handy Drums Studio Standard does not require a complicated manual to use. It’s super intuitive but behind the simple interface lies an elaborate design of over 50 samplers and smart algorithms power your seamless experience.

MULTIPLE DYNAMIC LEVELS

Each drum and cymbal was sampled at a number of dynamic levels to ensure the instrument’s fullest dynamic range when played back. Handy Drums Studio Standard contains up to 10 real recorded dynamic levels.

 

The samples respond accordingly with a very realistic sound and response.

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 13 samples per dynamic level

 

Has it ever happened that you programmed a drum beat but it sounds exactly like that,  programmed? For example, a human ear can intuitively tell the difference between the same snare sample repeated over and over again and a real drummer playing it. When a drummer strikes a drum, each sub-sequential stroke is ever so slightly different from the one before, no matter how consistently they are played.

To solve this, we sampled each drum and cymbal numerous times at every dynamic level. Then during playback, no sample is repeated sequentially, but a different sample is triggered.

 

This culminates in the impression of a drummer hitting each drum with minor variations each time. Something many other ‘realistic’ VIs never quite nail.

24BIT SAMPLES

All Handy Drums samples are recorded in 24bit wav file format for the best 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 critical. Starting with the drum and skin selection and tuning, room and mic selection and placement, the instrument goes through a whole process before even a single note gets played.

All our instruments are captured using the highest-quality mics, preamps, and converters to preserve every tiniest detail.

UNPARALLELED REALISM FROM VIRTUAL DRUMS

Sound so natural; you  can almost touch them.

Handy Drums sound like a real drum set 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 realism by recording the full width of acoustic drums and their natural 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.
