Introducing Boutique Mallets, an ADPak by XLN Audio, the ideal instrument for organic mixes and cinematic soundscapes. These hand - crafted drums can be played with both felt mallets and sticks. Recorded in the renowned big room of Soundtrade Studios, they offer a spacious, warm, and dark sound, perfect for creating that big, organic drum feel. The boutique Wacco kit's shells are made from heat - treated maple with a natural satin oil finish and maple hoops with rope tuners. Equipped with extra - thick drum heads, they produce a unique warm tone with a big and dense attack. Paired with hand - picked thin and dry cymbals from the Meinl Byzance series, it provides maximum versatility. This ADPak also comes with great presets to start your music creation quickly. Combine it with the Mallet Grooves MIDIpak for more inspiration.

Using Boutique Mallets is easy. First, load the ADPak into your music production software. You can start with the great presets to get a quick start. You can play the drums using either felt mallets or sticks, depending on the sound you want. For organic and cinematic mixes, experiment with different playing techniques. When using the cymbals, be gentle to avoid damage. To maintain the drums, keep them in a dry and clean environment. Wipe the shells with a soft cloth regularly to keep the natural satin oil finish looking good. Check the rope tuners and drum heads periodically for tightness. If you want to expand your musical options, don't forget to combine this ADPak with the Mallet Grooves MIDIpak.
