"I'm really proud of these drum samples. What makes them different is in the ingredients. We've spent a ton of time meticulously setting up the microphones, tuning the kits and recording them in world-class studios with amazing drummers (using the best modern & vintage gear). The sound you'll hear, is the same sound I create when I'm working with artists like the Foo Fighters or Beck. Every detail is captured in these sample sessions and every nuance played by the drummer. I use these same samples in my own productions for well-known artists and I know they'll sound great in your music, too. Although these samples sound massive & ROCK-worthy, I've also included a separate folder of lightly processed samples that will work in any genre of music.
These aren't one-shot, single velocity samples like you'll find at other sites, either. In order to create the most realistic drum sound, we've recorded the drummer striking each instrument in many articulations and we've captured multiple velocity layers (from very soft to very LOUD) and round robins (alternate hits), too. This ensures the most dynamic, realistic drum sounds ever recorded.
I've included EQ-ed & mixed individual microphone folders as well as my go-to Preset mixes. These presets are my pre-balanced room & close mic blends that allow you to simply drop them in your DAW, your sampler or your drum replacement VSTs without worrying about whether or not there's too much overhead or not enough close mic. I've done it for you! But of course, the individual mic samples are there if you want to do it yourself! I've even included my secret Reverb IRs for you that you can blend.
I wanted to create a drum sample pack that sounded pristine and HUGE. When I am tracking I try to get finished drum sounds, and this sample pack is a representation of that process. These are MixReady drum sounds! I think you're really going to hear the difference our drum sample packs will make in your music. It's what separates Drumatica drums from the others."
We recorded the drums at the ultra-modern Sweetwater Studios facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana recently.
Located within the campus of the U.S.’s largest online music instrument retailer, Sweetwater, Sweetwater Studios offers three world-class rooms designed by acclaimed recording studio designer, Russ Berger. Artists such as Anthrax, Mr. Big and Counting Crows have all recorded at Sweetwater Studios.
We tracked the drums in their largest room – Studio A – a 29’x 26’ live room outfitted with a gorgeous Rupert Neve Designs 5088 console - along with a plethora of vintage & modern microphones, EQs, pre-amps, processors, and outboard gear. We've captured the warmth and resonance of this special room - giving these drums a big, projecting sound.
Worked with platinum artists like:
The Foo Fighters
Radiohead
Beck
Paul McCartney
Dave Grohl
Twenty One Pilots
And More!
