DRUMBADA: POLYRHYTHMIC CINEMATIC DRUMS.
VST3/AU and Standalone. Win and Mac.Drumbada is a polyrhythmic cinematic drum engine equipped with 5 groups of 3 drummers each. It is based on the unique sound of the "Bombo Legüero," a rare South American bass drum that has never been deeply sampled before.
Drumbada also introduces our Crew-playing algorithm, which reproduces the behavior and imperfections of 15 percussionists playing together.
VIDEO INTRO
Drumbada simplifies the process of creating polyrhythms by offering intuitive controls within its five groups of sound sources and arpeggiators. With independent adjustments for signature, speed, spread value, and accent, users can effortlessly explore various rhythmic combinations without feeling overwhelmed.
This thoughtful design allows for natural experimentation and encourages creative exploration, making polyrhythms accessible to musicians and producers of all skill levels.
A RARE BASS DRUM
The "bombo legüero" is a drum popular in Latin American folklore. It owes its name to the characteristic it is believed to have, which is being heard even at 6 miles of distance. It consists of two leather membranes with hair attached to a box made from a hollowed trunk secured by straps made of leather or rawhide. Both the rims and the membranes are struck with leather-covered mallets called sticks or drumsticks. The legend tells that a butcher in a village, who lived in the middle of the countryside, had a drum to inform neighbors that he had meat for sale.
