cclarry Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Platinum Samples has released Joe Barresi's Evil Drums powered by Accent, a drum virtual instrument for macOS and Windows (Standalone, VST2, VST3, AU and AAX). Here's what they say: Joe Barresi is one of the busiest producer/engineers working today with a list of credits including albums by Tool, Queens Of The Stone Age, Weezer, Clutch, Pennywise, Turbonegro, Bad Religion, and many more. The Evil Drums Library features 6 full drum kits, 6 kick drums and 6 snares (a total of 64 drums and cymbals).

Accent comes with a Standalone version as well as AAX64, VST2, VST3 and Audio Units plug-ins for use in a host DAW.

With a resizable user interface and a familiar DAW style Mixer users should find it intuitive to use.

Greg Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 FYI Accent is also updated to 1,3,10. Not sure of all the changes but the mixer looks better, can resize the plugin horizontally plus the groove window looks better. These drums do sound great and now you don't need BFD to get them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidden Symmetry Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I bought his Ocean Way drums a few years ago & there were a few problems. Hoping this Accent update fixes them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bapu Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I have the Superior Drummer version. Too bad Platinum Samples doesn't offer a "crossgrade/upgrade" price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclarry Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) I assume the Library doesn't need to be updated? So, in the 2 years since this was released, they've come out with 2 kits...and one isn't new...just ported? That's what I call great development!

Uneven Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Is this as good as the SDX version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Should be. It's the same samples and the engine Accent is developed by Platinum Samples themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
