DrumCore 3 Deluxe gives you a range of flavors to draw from — everything from the Nashville vibe of Lonnie Wilson to the Latin grooves of Luis Conte to the blistering rock beats of Matt Sorum .

Deluxe version loads you up with the sounds of 10 top drummers!
If you had the chance call 10 of music's best drummers into your session, you would — and now, with the extra content packed into DrumCore 3 Deluxe, you can! Sonoma Wire Works packs in 10 of their best DrummerPack expansion sets, so you'll have a huge range of drum vibes to pick from as you set out building your tracks. You'll find everything from rock to reggae to Latin to country. DrummerPacks usually go for $69.99 apiece, so Submsersible Music DrumCore 3 Deluxe is not only a great way to beef up your drum options right out of the gate — it's also a stellar value.

Twice as much content as DrumCore 2.5
Sonoma Wire Works really upped the ante with DrumCore 3, the heart of DrumCore 3 Deluxe. In fact, it's packed with double the content featured in DrumCore 2.5. Inside, are even more audio loops and MIDI grooves covering a range of styles — from rock to pop to blues to jazz to metal, funk, Latin, reggae, urban, prog, and beyond.

Includes an attractive new user interface, for easy groove searching
Not only has Sonoma Wire Works packed DrumCore 3 Deluxe with a ton of grooves, but they've also revamped the user interface, making it easier to get to work — and find the feel you're looking for. Within the attractive new user interface, you can search and audition the vast amount of grooves in DrumCore 3 Deluxe via List View — and Audio Mode and MIDI Mode are clearly indicated, so you can find what you want. What's more, beats, variations, and fills are arranged into song-like GrooveSets for fast access. And, you can search content based on drummers, musical styles, "Feel" criteria (e.g., shuffle, swing, 1/8th, 1/16th, etc.) — and then you can simply drag and drop your grooves into your favorite AU, VST, or RTAS DAW application.

Vastly expanded "Basic Beats," Urban, and Jazz sections
Sonoma Wire Works went to work at the heart of DrumCore 3 Deluxe, and really expanded its core offering of "Basic Beat," Urban, and Jazz grooves, for your bread-and-butter songwriting needs. Expanded jazz content from Seattle jazz drummer Gregg Keplinger is now included. Plus, Sonoma Wire Works's popular "Urban GT" expansion pack — a $49 value — is now included, giving you tons of classic hip-hop and modern R&B MIDI grooves plus 24 drum kits. That, of course, is on top of the 10 DrummerPacks that come included with DrumCore 3 Deluxe.

LiveDrummer technology plus DrumCore loop-importing toolkit
With DrumCore 3 Deluxe's handy "LiveDrummer" technology, its MIDI engine enhancements give greater realism to drum rolls and cymbal performances for a more natural playback vibe. Just use the LiveDrummer slider to get more dynamics into your groove. And, for importing content from your favorite REX2, WAV, ACID, and AIFF loop libraries, just use the included DrumCore Toolkit — it works as a standalone application and can function via the ReWire client, much like DrumCore 2.5 did.

Operates as a VST, RTAS, and AU Plug-in
While DrumCore 2.5 was a standalone or ReWire compatible program, DrumCore 3 Deluxe is now fully compatible with your DAW as a VST, RTAS, or AU plug-in.

Sonoma Wire Works DrumCore 3 Deluxe Virtual Drum Plug-in Features:
  • Includes twice as much drum content as DrumCore 2.5
  • Packed with 10 DrummerPack expansions, including sounds from Terry Bozio, Alan White, Matt Sorum, Sly Dunbar, Zoro, Lonnie Wilson, Luis Conte, John Tempesta, and Matt Cameron
  • New user interface allows for easily searching drum grooves

  • Expanded "Basic Beats," Urban, and Jazz sections
  • LiveDrummer technology gives MIDI grooves a natural feel
  • DrumCore Toolkit helps you import REX2, WAV, ACID, and AIFF loop libraries
