Classic Rock Drums
The Instrument
We sampled a Ludwig Vistalite drum kit with a Ludwig Supraphonic snare and Zildjian cymbals and hi hat. This kit was used by John Bonham for playing live with Led Zeppelin. Although we are not trying to emulate the Bonham signature sound, this kit is perfect for playing classic rock. Its big toms and low tuned snare suites perfectly in every track.
It has 6 repetitions (round robin) and 6 velocities (from soft to strong), but the most important is that on every mic you have the real and natural bleeding of the other parts of the drum. As you can hear on the audio demos, through the mics you can hear exactly what is recorded in a real studio situation. In other words, when you play a key, the sound comes from each of the 8 mics, so there’s 8 files playing. Is like having recorded the drum yourself!
With our custom script you can control the volume, pan and tune of each mic like it was recorded in you own computer or studio. It’s exciting to play and hear it!
Do you want to have separate outputs in multi channel mode? We made a special “multi” instrument in Kontakt where each mic is in a different midi channel, so you can have each channel on diferent tracks.
You can have this library, more than 5,600 samples and 5’45 Gb for only €9.95!

great sound set with “classic” vibe. well done. will be buying very shortly.
Wow! After the Tea Towel Drum library I was so excited about your guys’ drum sounds. So glad you are still making drum samples. These sound amazing.
Best Song Elliott song to demo. These drums sound awesome.This made my day!
What did you use for the piano and harp sounds?
It’s a mix of a piano from Abbey Road Keyboards and our W-Harpsichord that we’ll release soon
the sound and room has a very very “classic” roy thomas baker Queen-esque vibe. i like it a lot. great option to have.
Oh ya…the Challen. Cant wait for the harpsichord.
with Altiverb added this thing totally NAILS the Bonzo sound
Damn it! I was going to save my wallet the extra burden, but then you went and demoed an Elliott Smith track. So tempting…
