Zeus Drums


16 Authentic Kits. Versatile and Immersive..

Zeus Drums is a powerful reimagining of the original Zeus kit from 8Dio—now transformed into 16 versatile and professionally curated drum kits, each inspired by different eras. With over 16,700 newly designed samples, Zeus Drums brings fresh tonal variety and flexibility to a timeless collection, making it ideal for a wide range of genres including rock, pop, indie, metal, funk, and more.

Centered around an extended Mapex setup, Zeus offers rich tonal depth and precise articulation, delivering a polished, mix-ready sound out of the box. The library was engineered by Taylor Larson (Oceanic Studios / Periphery) and remastered by Colin E. Fisher to take full advantage of Soundpaint’s capabilities, featuring 127 velocity layers for an ultra-responsive, expressive playing experience.

Also included is our Flow Note Technology, designed to emulate the natural behavior of real drum performances. Rather than awkwardly stacking cymbal or hi-hat hits, Flow Note subtly mutes overlapping notes while retaining their resonance, resulting in smoother, more lifelike transitions and a cleaner overall sound.

Whether you're laying down a quick idea or crafting a full production, Zeus Drums offers pro-level sound, intuitive control, and the versatility to fit any style.
