🎙️ The Recordings

We captured a veteran jazz drummer performing on a vintage Leedy & Ludwig 1953 Broadway Model snare, Ludwig Jazz-ette bass drum, and timeless Istanbul & Zildjian cymbals. To preserve every subtle nuance, the sessions were tracked with iconic gear: Neumann U47 tube mics, RCA DX & Altec microphones, vintage API preamps, and authentic Pultec EQs. The result? A warm, rich, and true-to-era sound palette that blends seamlessly with our jazz drum loops.

🎚️ The Mixes

• Classic Mix 🎶 – Inspired by the legendary Blue Note and Impulse! sessions of the 1960s. Clean, dynamic, and versatile for both traditional and modern productions.
