Trivium Drums

Shattering the Skies Above

Harness the blistering performance of Trivium’s Alex Bent for your productions. Trivium Drums gives you album-ready metal drums right out of the box, with all the power and precision needed for dense rock and metal mixes.

Producer Jens Bogren (Opeth, Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy, Ibaraki) has put his proven engineering skills into crafting a perfect and unique sound. Over 100 MIDI grooves and fills performed by Alex Bent are included so that you can get natural drum performances fast.

FAST AND FLEXIBLE

Trivium Drums was created with one goal in mind — to deliver pro-level drum tracks fast.

From the moment you launch the instrument, you have access to Alex Bent’s drum sound, recorded and mixed by Jens Bogren and ready for use in your next song. If you prefer mixing yourself, switch from Processed to Natural, which removes Jens’ mix processing and gives you the drum sounds just as they were originally tracked.

Expand the Advanced Panel to set the individual drum mic levels, determine the amount of bleed between the channels, add reverb, and switch in the parallel compressor.

A MAGICAL DRUM ROOM

The Fascination Street Studios drum room is purpose built, has 23 feet (7 meters) high ceilings, and no parallel surfaces. It's the real deal.

Painstakingly crafted to Jens Bogren's personal and incredibly meticulous specifications, this live room offers a sound like no other. There is no substitute for a great drum room and there is no better place to record drums than at Fascination Street Studios.

SMART TOOLS INCLUDED

Create lifelike drum performances, with Bogren Digital’s proprietary Anti-Machinegun feature, which intelligently adds variation to fast consecutive drum hits to avoid the unnatural machinegun effect.

With the Auto Double Kick feature, you no longer have to ask how a real drummer would play those fast kick runs – Auto Double Kick will automatically and organically distribute fast patterns across both kicks when required, saving you time and making the performance more natural.

HAVE ALEX PLAY YOUR SONG

Alex Bent has recorded over 100 MIDI grooves and fills that you can play from within Trivium Drums or simply drag and drop into your DAW session.

It’s a great way to get a song idea moving fast and avoid getting stuck with detailed drum programming. You can always fine-tune the drum programming later if the MIDI groove you picked needs a bit of adapting to fit your song.

ALEX BENT

Few drummers reach a technical level similar to Alex Bent's, and even fewer can play like Alex while making it look so easy! But Alex’s playing is not only about incredible speed and flawless precision. He’s very creative and musical, always making sure his beats fit the songs perfectly. Before Trivium, Alex played in bands such as Arkaik, Dragonlord, and Battlecross. He also filled in for Gene Hoglan of the mighty Testament when Gene was unavailable for a row of gigs. Alex joined Trivium in 2017 and has been a member ever since.
