Chris Hein EASY Frame Drum

Authentic depth. Living detail. Endless expression.

Experience the unmistakable character of traditional frame drums — captured with exceptional precision and designed for effortless playability. EASY Frame Drum features seven masterfully sampled frame drums, recorded completely dry to capture every subtle finger movement, every soft thumb stroke, and every powerful hit in stunning detail. The dedicated two-hand mapping delivers a natural playing experience that translates real-life performance directly into your DAW.

All seven drums were recorded under identical conditions, making it easy to layer, swap, or combine them without tonal inconsistencies. Three ensemble sizes with tight, medium, and loose timing options provide instant, humanized grooves, while two additional processed patches deliver cinematic impact. Separate ambience options allow you to transform the dry recordings into massive, room-filling percussion whenever your track demands it.

Highlights at a glance:

• Seven deeply sampled frame drums with 6,500 samples and 6.75 GB of content

• 23 articulations per drum, performed with mallets, hands, thumbs, and fingers

• 32 velocity layers per note (16 per hand) for maximum dynamic realism

• Three ensemble sizes with tight, medium, and loose timing for natural, human grooves

• Two processed cinematic patches for instant punch and modern scoring power

• 16 effect presets plus flexible ambience options for creative sound shaping

Whether you’re creating intimate, organic percussion or massive, trailer-ready drums, EASY Frame Drum delivers authentic performance, natural dynamics, and a versatile sonic palette — right at your fingertips.
