VIRTUAL DRUMLINE™ 1
The original Marching Battery Percussion Sample Library

featuring the Santa Clara Vanguard Drumline

Your marching percussion arrangements can finally sound like a REAL drumline!

Virtual Drumline 1 has been discontinued. We recommend VDL:2 as a more complete and full-featured option at a much better value! See below for more details.
