TL;DR Amazing for a FREE instrument but cymbal crash choke is unbalanced [too loud] and seems to be a full-up sample while the crash seems to be a lower sample. In the future it would be nice to have full-up/above-and-into-shoulders samples and lower/at-and-into-upper-abs samples. I wish a free drumline instrument of this quality existed 23 years ago when I was arranging music on a daily basis in my undergrad days. Coincidentally, as someone that marched cymbal line my final 2 seasons of marching band the Cymbal sounds are the ones irking me. The crash sound is quieter than the choke even though to do a choke you are usually crashing the cymbals first.

Description
Muse Drumline is a realistic marching drumline library, created in partnership with the world-renowned Blue Devils. This library contains the staple instruments of the marching batterie: snares, multi-tenors, tonal bass drums, and marching cymbals. Included in this Muse Sounds pack is a treasure trove of playing techniques, sound modifications, and implement choices. Dynamic buzz roll and press stroke samples are easily added to the score using the buzz tremolo symbol. Accents and marcatos are boosted for more accent/tap differentiation. You can switch between a single player or flip to the ensemble for each line, and easily switch between tools such as sticks, brushes, dreadlocks, rubber beads, hard mallets, soft mallets, and hot rods. Additionally, the library includes different playing zones and snare drum samples with both wires on and off. "Show Style Tenors" are also available, as well as an array of useful small percussion sounds such as stick hits, agogos, cowbells, ribbon crashers, harness hits, and more. We hope you enjoy this fun and bombastic library and look forward to hearing some incredible beats!
