Drum Sounds & Banks

By default, Strudel comes with a wide selection of drum sounds. These are short letter codes for the parts of a drum set.

The drum code crew

• bd = bass drum
• sd = snare drum
• rim = rimshot
• hh = hi-hat
• oh = open hihat
• lt = low tom
• mt = middle tom
• ht = high tom
• rd = ride cymbal
• cr = crash cymbal

Play a full kit

Try out different drum sounds - swap oh for cr, add rim, remove sd.

There are many more banks - try whatever you like!

Pro-tip

Mark a bank name with a double click and copy-paste it, instead of typing it out.
