    VST4FREE has announced the release of Cherry Snare, a free virtual instrument for Windows and Mac featuring a sampled acoustic snare drum.

    The drum in question is a custom handmade cherry wood Ebenor Percussion 14×7 inches snare drum with a 1/2 inch thickness and a 45 degree chamfer, mounted with triple flange hoops dressed by a 2 plies coated drumhead.

    It was recorded with 5 microphones- placed on top (2), at the bottom (1) and a stereo matched pair for the room sound, then mixed through 4 channels.

    A NOS vintage 12AX7 tubes driven to a class A digital converter was used for the top and bottom condenser mics, while the sound recorded by other mics was picked up from a top notch soundcard’s transistor preamps.
