Trivium Drums Black Friday deals put Bogren Digital's Kontakt drum library at $44.50, 50% off, until Nov 30, 2026, with Trivium drummer Alex Bent's kit recorded and mixed by Jens Bogren.
It is a sampled metal drum instrument built to give you finished-sounding drum tracks quickly. You load it and the processed kit is ready to play, with over 100 MIDI grooves and fills performed by Alex Bent included.
The samples come from Alex Bent's own kit, tracked in the live room at Fascination Street Studios. Jens Bogren, who has worked with Opeth, Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy and Ibaraki, engineered the sound.
The room is purpose built, with 23 foot (7 metre) ceilings and no parallel surfaces.
The kit in the library:
The default sound is the processed one, mixed by Jens Bogren. If you would rather mix yourself, switch from Processed to Natural. That strips Jens's mix processing and gives you the drums as they were tracked.
The Advanced Panel opens up more control. You can set individual drum mic levels, set how much bleed runs between channels, add reverb and switch in the parallel compressor.
Anti-Machinegun is Bogren Digital's own feature. It adds variation to fast consecutive hits, so repeated snare or tom strikes avoid the machinegun effect.
Auto Double Kick spreads fast kick patterns across both kick drums when needed. You write the pattern, and the instrument handles the double kick distribution.
The 100-plus grooves and fills can be played from inside Trivium Drums or dragged and dropped into your DAW session. That gets a song idea moving without detailed drum programming, and you can edit the MIDI afterwards if a groove needs adapting.
Trivium Drums runs in the free Native Instruments Kontakt Player, version 6.6.1 or newer.
