Product Overview

DW Soundworks® puts the most authentic drum sounds in the hands of beat creators everywhere. This revolutionary software is a virtual instrument that equips drummers, multi-instrumentalists, and producers with a sonic canvas to find just the right drum sound. This platform offers an expandable library of samples and effects with countless controls to produce a drum sound to your exact tastes.

The Slingerland Vintage 1958 3-Ply Expansion Pack adds an exclusive sound to the DW Soundworks collection. These samples were captured from DW founder Don Lombardi's personal 1958 Slingerland kit.

This library of samples will continue to grow and, as your sound evolves, DW Soundworks expansion packs will be available to accommodate your changing tastes.
