1. T.REX 606
- FREE Naughty Seal Audio Perfect Drums VST Preset by Ria Gloom Studio. The preset in this FREE DOWNLOAD is ideal for hard hitting heavy metal drums.
- Perfect Drums Player is a free virtual instrument plug-in, that enables anyone to load and use unique multi-sampled instruments, created in the full version of Perfect Drums. So the main difference is that you can NOT create your own instruments out of your samples in.
The name says it all. The T.REX 606 is a compact rompler modelled after the iconic Roland TR-606 drum machine.
The simple interface keeps things basic. Which is nice these days when so many VSTs are needlessly complicated.
