What is Brickwall Drums?

Brickwall Drums is a hard hitting classic sounding drum kit for modern producers, composers, and engineers. Conservatory-trained drummer Matthias Bossi (Tom Waits, Mike Patton, St. Vincent) performed his custom Allegra kit at Brick Hill Studio with producer, engineer, and bassist Jon Evans (Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, Chris Cornell), tracked and processed through analog gear chosen for character, not convenience. The result is an iconic, juicy analog sound: punchy, warm, and sitting in the mix before you've touched an EQ.

Kontakt is the industry-standard sampling platform used by the world’s top producers and composers. It acts as a "host" for thousands of different virtual instruments – from hyper-realistic orchestral libraries and rare vintage synths to modern pop keys. You can use Kontakt as a standalone application or as a plugin within your DAW to play, edit, and layer these sounds into your tracks.
If you’re just looking to play Kontakt instruments, Kontakt Player is the free version that runs all NI Kontakt instruments, plus loads from third-party developers.

Technically, no, it’s a Kontakt instrument.
However, it functions just like a VST instrument in your DAW.
While musicians and producers often use "VST" as a catch-all term for any virtual instrument, Brickwall Drums is formatted specifically as a Kontakt library (.nki). To use it, you simply load Brickwall Drums inside Kontakt or the free Kontakt Player. Since Kontakt itself runs as a VST3, AU, or AAX plugin inside your DAW, the end result is identical: you open it, play it, and automate it just like any traditional VST.
