The Grit Kit FX Drums Black Friday deal is 50% off, which brings this Soundiron Kontakt library to $24.50 until Dec 6, 2026.
Grit Kit starts with a clean acoustic 6-piece stereo jazz kit. From that raw material, Soundiron builds 15 FX drum kits full of decayed, distorted and degraded percussion.
The maker says the acoustic kit works as a plug-and-play instrument for just about any style. The 15 FX kits are where the library gets weird.
The core kit gives you a kick, a 14" snare, a 10" snare, floor tom, mid tom, high tom, hi-hats, a ride-crash, and large and small splashes. It has 12 round-robin variations per layer and dynamic layering that follows your velocity.
The maker describes the acoustic kit as warm, and it ships inside a preset with plenty of built-in FX options.
The 15 FX kits range widely in character, from warm lo-fi lounge setups to blown-out, torn-apart heavy kits and tight, clipped glitch kits. Samples are 24 bit / 48kHz uncompressed PCM wav files. The Kontakt presets and wav samples are unlocked, so you can customize them.
It runs on Windows XP or higher and Mac OS X 10.6 or higher. Soundiron recommends a dual-core CPU, 2 GB of system RAM and a SATA or SSD drive.
You need the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.1.0 or above. The free Kontakt Player only runs it in demo mode.
