Obvious as it may be, free drum software is no where near the level of the paid options on the list in terms of tone and versatility.
DrumMic’a - created by Sennheieser as a showcase of their drum microphones (huge library). Line of Legends - another hip-hop drum kit. Drum PRO - free drum machine for hip-hop. T.REX 606 - made from a Roland TR-606 drum machine. 
Drumactic 3 - now Drumatic 4, free version only offered as a demo.SSD Free - basic version of Steven Slate Drums, one kit included.MT Power Drumkit 2 - acoustic drums, one of the best free drum VSTs.
Spitfire LAB drums - great sounding free kit. My favorite on the list below is the MT Power Drumkit 2. Free Drum VST Plugins?įor those on a budget, check out some of these free drum VSTs. There’s thirteen kick-snare combo kits, five clap banks, four cymbal banks, eight hi-hat banks, four percussion banks, four reverse sound/cymbal banks, twelve tom banks, and a total of 1,356 one-shot samples. Both processed and dry samples are included with Synthwave Drums. All in all, BFD3 is good if you want some great, realistic samples that you can mess around with to shape your own drum sound, but it’s not the greatest if you’re just looking for a quick demo mix or something.A total of 63 kits are included with twelve sounds each. BFD is a lot more fun to mess around with, but I may have bit off more than I can chew haha. It’s definitely another ballgame when it comes to working with it vs SSD5. I haven’t taken the time to dive into settings to see if there’s any optimization I can do, so that could just be on me. 
I went back and forth between getting Superior Drummer or BFD for a few weeks before finally settling on BFD because the samples were supposed to be more raw and natural so that I could have more control over my drum sound, plus BFD allows for third party expansions while Toontrack locks you into their ecosystemĪfter having had it for a while and working with it, the only real issue is that it slows down my system to a crawl while it’s loading up all the samples.
I had been working with Steven Slate Drums 5 for a while and was dissatisfied with their sound, which was overproduced and sterile to me.
