Product Description

THE NEW SOUND OF THE 50s

The drums, the studio, the drummer: The authentic sound of the very early years of popular music, recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London.

ELECTRIFYING SOUND

ABBEY ROAD | 50s DRUMMER delivers the electrifying sound of the birth of popular music โ€“ a time when amplified instruments rose to prominence and drums came into their own. Expertly recorded, ultra-rare drums deliver an evocative, mid-heavy sound ready to compete with the latest electric guitars and basses. Adding its own touch of classic style to the DRUMMER Series, 50s DRUMMER also features period-authentic grooves, capturing the flair of early rock and roll, rhythm and blues, country, and jazz.

ABBEY ROAD | 50s DRUMMER runs in the freeย KONTAKT PLAYERย andย KONTAKT.

RECORDED AT ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS

All drums were recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, UK. An iconic symbol of the music industry since 1931, Abbey Road has been the location of countless landmark recordings by artists such as The Beatles, U2, Kate Bush, Oasis, Kanye West and Radiohead, to name just a few.

Abbey Road has pioneered many studio techniques and technologies, and is widely recognized as one of the most advanced recording, mixing and post-production complexes in the world. Their expertise was crucial in creating the period-accurate recording paths that form the core of ABBEY ROAD 50s DRUMMERโ€™s sound.

THE DRUM KITS

The drum kits in ABBEY ROAD 50s DRUMMER were recorded in Abbey Roadโ€™s Studio Two. Extra absorbers were used mimic the tighter recording environments of the 1950s. The drums feature a rough, cutting sound, with massive, resounding snares and mellow cymbals.

Theย Spring Kitย is an early-50s Gretsch Cadillac Green Nitron with a 20โ€ bass drum. Its 12โ€ rack tom and 14โ€ floor tom are tuned lower than those of the Autumn Kit. Three interchangeable 14โ€ period snare drums deliver brilliant sonic options.

Theย Autumn Kitย is a late-50s WFL with a 20โ€ kick, 12โ€ and 13โ€ rack toms, 16โ€ floor tom, and a choice of 14โ€ x 6.5 โ€œ, 14โ€ x 8โ€, and 13โ€ x 3โ€ snare drums. Its higher tom tuning means it sounds slightly brighter than the Spring Kit.
