ACRO-MAN Sample Pack

All he needed was a heart…

Meet ACRO-MAN, our tribute to the iconic aluminum snare drum that has captured the hearts of drummers and producers alike. This 5 x 14” shell delivers a dry, crisp tone with loads of "crack" and "splat." Originally introduced as a student model in 1962, it quickly became a favorite among professional drummers for its unbeatable tone and versatility at an affordable price. It's an essential addition to every drummer's and producer's arsenal.
