Fast and flexible
Trivium Drums was created with one goal in mind — to deliver pro-level drum tracks fast. From the moment you launch the instrument, you have access to Alex Bent’s drum sound, recorded and mixed by Jens Bogren and ready for use in your next song. If you prefer mixing yourself, switch from Processed to Natural, which removes Jens’ mix processing and gives you the drum sounds just as they were originally tracked. Should you need to, open the Mixer tab where you can set the individual drum mic levels, determine the amount of bleed between the channels, add reverb, and switch in the parallel compressor.

Smart tools included
To assist you in creating lifelike drum performances, Trivium Drums includes Bogren Digital’s proprietary Anti-Machinegun feature. The algorithm intelligently adds variation to fast consecutive drum hits to avoid the unnatural machinegun effect that can otherwise occur. Another clever feature is Auto Double Kick, which automatically alternates between two different kick drums during fast kick drum runs.

Alex plays on your song
Alex Bent has recorded 100 MIDI grooves and fills that you can play from within Trivium Drums or simply drag and drop as MIDI files into your DAW session if you prefer that workflow. It’s a great way to get a song idea moving fast and avoid getting stuck with detailed drum programming. You can always fine-tune the drum programming later if the MIDI groove you picked needs a bit of adapting to fit your song. There is also a separate collection of drum fills, which can be particularly difficult to get natural-sounding when you program drums.
