Jug Drums: Free

A free light version including only the smallest jug (Soprano) from our Jug Drums instrument: a unique and surprisingly epic sounding percussion instrument made from banging on big plastic water jugs.

Jug Drums: Free

This free version of Jug Drums is the highest drum; the soprano, with full velocity and round robins but without mic position mixing control. It’s a lot of fun to play, and you may be enjoying it enough to look at the full compliment of our Jug Drums.

Imagine: 5 water jugs, 5 microphones, a laptop and an audio interface. What happens next? Pure #$!@ing magic, that’s what! With oodles of round robins, 4 different playing styles, and a dynamic range equipped to shake things up, you’re going to love the full instrument… It’s a new angle on the concept of “epic drumming”.

Standout Features

Deeply Sampled

With 10 sampled variations per 12 velocities, there’s oodles of “round robins” for avoiding the dreaded “machine-gun effect” and to keep things from sounding stale.

4 Strike Styles
Choose from 4 different styles of striking: Hand (muted), Hand (ring out), Timpani Mallets, and Sticks – each articulation sampled on each drum for every performance.
Reverb Button
Because the interface needed a button.
