+# DRSKit
+
+DRSKit came to be as a collaboration between the DrumGizmo team and Jes Eiler of DRSDrums (http://www.drsdrums.dk). Jes creates handcrafted drumkits under his own label with an attention to detail not often seen on the market.
+We gave him a call and asked if he would supply a kit for us to record. And being the stand-up guy that he is, he offered to lend us an entire kit for free.
+
+* Kit name: DRSKit
+* Version: 2.1
+* Release date: August 2018
+* Kit setup by: Deva & Lars Muldjord
+* Mic setup by: Deva & Lars Muldjord
+* Sampled by: Deva & Lars Muldjord
+* Edited and prepared for DrumGizmo by: Lars Muldjord
+
+The kit contains the following components (Left / right placements as seen by the drummer):
+
+* 1 kickdrum
+* 1 hanging tom
+* 2 floor toms
+* 1 snare

+
+The kit should be usable for everything from jazz to rock.
+

+## Additional notes
+The kit comes with several different varieties of xml files. These files contain different setups of the kit:
+* basic.xml: This kit is a basic version of the kit, comparable to a standard rock setup. Good balance between memory footprint and usability.
+* full.xml: This contains EVERYTHING! Cymbal hits with both shank and tip, whiskers, ride cymbal with ball chain attached... It's all in there, but it takes up a lot of ram! If your machine crashes on load, you can't handle it. Only use this if you really, REALLY have to. We don't recommend it.
+* minimal.xml: This is just the bare minimum. Great while composing songs.
+* no_whiskers.xml: This is the full kit, but without the whisker hits. This version has a huge memory footprint, so keep that in mind if it crashes on load.
+* whiskers_only.xml: This is the full whiskers kit, but with no ordinary drum stick hits, except for snare rim. This this if you want to jazz it up a bit. ;)
