SOUNDIRON Knockout Drums | Drum Library for Metalcore/Progressive Metal

The Ultimate Heavy-Hitting Drum Library for Modern Metal and Rock

SOUNDIRON Knockout Drums is a heavy-duty drum kit sample library developed in collaboration with renowned metal drummer Navene Koperweis (Entheos, Animals As Leaders) and producer Zack Ohren, featuring 86,720 24-bit/48kHz high-resolution stereo samples. This library was meticulously sampled at Sharkbite Studios, fully capturing Navene's Starclassic Bubinga drum kit, including 7 snare drums, 3 kick drums, and various Meinl cymbals, designed for the most impactful music.

Unlike traditional drum libraries that offer only a single studio sound, Knockout Drums utilizes multiple carefully selected microphones (such as TLM 103) and diverse mic positions, allowing users to freely blend between a massive live room feel or an extremely tight, focused studio sound. Whether you're producing progressive metal, death metal, rock, pop, or even breakbeat, this Kontakt library delivers professional, ready-to-use metal drum sounds, imbuing your work with power and detail.
