Great overview.
As an owner of Komplete Ultimate, this course was helpful in explaining what the Drumlab virtual instrument can do and why I might want to use it in my music creations. Eli's delivery was concise and insightful, too.

Eli does it again!
A no nonsense and thorough explanation of Drum Lab. Eli goes at lengths to show the routing possibilities of both the full, and single instrument versions of this tidy little instrument.

Solid overview
Quick and easy overview of Drum Lab. While it's a pretty simple Kontakt instrument, there's a lot of subtlties that you may not pick up on. A fast and easy tutorial that I'd suggest for anyone who wants to master this. Thanks Eli.
