Abbey Road and Native Instruments proudly present ABBEY ROAD 70s DRUMS, a new instrument containing two highly distinctive vintage drum kits. Sampled in incredible detail, with over 32,000 individual samples recorded in Abbey Roads famed Studio Two, this instrument gives you an authentic roomy, open sounding kit as well as a tight, dry kit.
This KONTAKT Instrument contains no emulations or modeling of any kind - ABBEY ROAD 70s DRUMS is built entirely of high-quality samples of two distinctive vintage drum kits from the 1970s, made accessible via an easy-to-use interface newly created in conjunction with the Abbey Road experts. Made up of thousands of painstakingly sampled hits, every sound in this KONTAKT Instrument was recorded in Abbey Road's legendary Studio Two using classic vintage equipment from that period.
Two highly-sought after vintage drum kits were chosen by Abbey Road and
Native Instruments sound engineers to give two highly distinctive 70s
drum sounds.
The Open Kit is a Ludwig Vistalite Tequila
Sunrise from 1972 with a 26" kick drum, 14" rack tom and 16" and 18"
floor toms. Recorded in the legendary Studio Two of Abbey Road, this
kit provides the big roomy sound immortalized on countless classic rock
recordings.
The Tight Kit is a vintage 1970s Premier model
with 22" kick drum, 13" rack tom, 14" and 16" floor toms. The samples
from this kit were also recorded in Studio Two of Abbey Road, but
dedicated acoustic panels were put around the kit to achieve the tight,
punchy and dry sound that was very popular throughout the 70s.
ABBEY ROAD 70s DRUMS were recorded using an EMI TG MKIII mixing
console and 16-track analogue 2-inch tape machine using 1970s
professional Dolby Noise Reduction and Ampex 456 tape.
Each kit was recorded with an array of microphones including
classic Neumann, AKG and Beyerdynamic models from the studios vast
microphone collection one of the largest in the world. The individual
direct and room microphone signals are all separately adjustable -
giving you detailed control of the overall sound.
