Authentic Soundware – Jazz Drums (KONTAKT)
Jazz Drums is the perfect complement to our jazz drum WAV loops and a highly playable standalone instrument. Use it to program your own drum parts or to enhance the loop-based parts with your own fills, intros and endings. The samples on this instrument were recorded simultaneously with our WAV loops and blend perfectly with them.
Recordings
We recorded a seasoned professional drummer playing a vintage jazz drum kit (Leedy & Ludwig 1953 Broadway snare drum, Ludwig Jazzette kick drum, vintage Istanbul and Zildjian cymbals). The kit was recorded using popular classic gear, including original Neumann U 47 tube microphones, RCA DX and Altec mics, vintage API mic preamps, and authentic Pultec EQs.
Mixes
Each sample comes in two mixes: classic and vintage. The classic mix is ​​inspired by legendary Blue Note and Impulse recordings from the 1960s, but is good enough for modern productions as well. The vintage mix is ​​a distressed-sounding mono mix using a mix of just two microphones: a Neumann Tube 47 mono mic and an RCA room mic. This mix is ​​perfect for recreating long-forgotten sounds, as well as for those who want to add a bit of vintage atmosphere to their productions.
What’s in the kit
Samples include bass drum, snare (sticks and brushes, flam, rolls, drags), cross stick, low tom, high tom, hi-hats (closed, semi-open, open, pedal and others), ride, crash, various combos.
- Excellent instrument with multiple loops for almost every sample;
- Two mix options for each sample (classic, vintage);
- Vintage drums and cymbals recorded with classic Neuman and RCA
