Sweden is one of the largest exporters of music in world. How a country with a population of about ten million managed to become a cog in the international hit community remains a bit of a mystery.
However, the fact remains that from the heyday of ABBA until today, Sweden – and especially Stockholm – has churned out songwriters, performers and hits in every genre imaginable, almost like an assembly line. Whatever the reason, with this collection of sounds we decided to bring some of that mojo straight to your desktop.
This SDX for Superior Drummer 3 was recorded in Riksmixningsverket (RMV Studio). Housed in a 150-year-old naval warehouse and beautifully located right on the water at the mouth of the river, this is one of the true gems of Stockholm’s central studio.
With rustic ceiling beams breaking up the diffuse, reflective surfaces of multiple types of materials, and a soft wood floor that acts as a shock-absorbing membrane in the relatively large, yet compact-sounding studio room, the space is ideal for bringing out its inherent qualities. any acoustic instrument.
A total of five sets were recorded, each chosen to complement the others and fulfill their role in what the team set out to capture: a unique palette of beautifully singing drums that ran the gamut from warm, earthy and sincere. from sparse to bright, loud and energetic.
In addition to the drums, the package includes a basic set of grooves performed by sampling drummer Josefina Forsman (of Swedish band Sahara Hotnights fame), as well as a wide selection of presets developed by session engineer Lynn Fijal, as well as the Tooontrack sound design team. has provided.
All of this combined will allow you to instantly start working with great-sounding drum beats and mixes that you can use as a springboard to journey into your own unexplored sonic spaces.
From one of the world’s most popular metropolises straight to your desktop, here’s an SDX that makes a compelling point that there is absolutely nothing standard about Stockholm. Welcome to the studio. Get behind your console…and start mixing
