What it is

Songwriter Drums is an acoustic drum expansion for Native Instruments' Leap platform, built on the Kontakt engine. It's a curated set of live-feel drum loops and fills designed to shift naturally with a song's energy, moving from restrained verse grooves to fuller chorus hits without manual editing.

Who it's for

Songwriters and producers who build tracks around acoustic drum grooves and want arrangement-ready loops rather than one-shot samples to chop and rebuild by hand.

Key features

• 160 total loops, including 22 drum fills and 17 top lines for arrangement variety
• Five shaker variations for added percussive texture and groove detail
• Works with the free Kontakt Player or the full version of Kontakt, with immediate download after purchase
