录制于 ABBEY ROAD STUDS
所有鼓组均在英国伦敦的 Abbey Road Studios 录制。自1931年以来，Abbey Road一直是音乐界的标志性象征，无数艺术家的标志性录音都诞生于此，例如披头士乐队、U2、凯特·布什、绿洲乐队、坎耶·韦斯特和电台司令等等。
Abbey Road开创了众多录音室技术，被公认为全球最先进的录音、混音和后期制作中心之一。他们的专业知识对于打造精准的时代录音路径至关重要，而这些路径正是ABBEY ROAD 50s DRUMMER音色的核心。
鼓组
ABBEY ROAD 50s DRUMMER中的鼓组均在Abbey Road的Studio Two录音室录制。为了模拟20世纪50年代较为紧凑的录音环境，工作室使用了额外的吸音材料。鼓组音色粗犷锐利，同时伴有厚重响亮的小军鼓和柔和的镲片。
Spring 套装采用 50 年代早期 Gretsch Cadillac Green Nitron 鼓，配备 20 英寸底鼓。其 12 英寸嗵鼓和 14 英寸地嗵鼓的调音比 Autumn 套装的要低。三套可替换的 14 英寸复古军鼓，带来精彩的音色选择。
Autumn 套装采用 50 年代后期 WFL 鼓，配备 20 英寸底鼓、12 英寸和 13 英寸嗵鼓、16 英寸地嗵鼓，以及可选的 14 英寸 x 6.5 英寸、14 英寸 x 8 英寸和 13 英寸 x 3 英寸军鼓。其嗵鼓调音较高，音色比 Spring 套装略为明亮。

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 – 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.
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 DRUMMER's sound.
THE DRUM KITS
The drum kits in ABBEY ROAD 50s DRUMMER were recorded in Abbey Road'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.
The Spring Kit is an early-50s Gretsch Cadillac Green Nitron with a 20" bass drum. Its 12" rack tom and 14" floor tom are tuned lower than those of the Autumn Kit. Three interchangeable 14" period snare drums deliver brilliant sonic options.
The Autumn Kit is a late-50s WFL with a 20" kick, 12" and 13" rack toms, 16" floor tom, and a choice of 14" x 6.5 ", 14" x 8", and 13" x 3" snare drums. Its higher tom tuning means it sounds slightly brighter than the Spring Kit.
THE MIXER SECTION
Create the perfect drum submix completely within the instrument! All ABBEY ROAD DRUMMER instruments feature a dedicated Mixer Section and a range of high-quality studio effects, including tape saturation, convolution reverb and three big-league effects: a top-quality studio EQ, a high-end studio compressor and the awe-inspiring TRANSIENT MASTER.
And if time is tight, Mixer and Effects presets provide instant pro sound with precision mic levels, the perfect blend of close and room mics, and just the right effects to set it all off.
COMPREHENSIVE GROOVE LIBRARY
The right drum sound is only part of the equation. ABBEY ROAD | 50s DRUMMER provides a Groove Library full of beats and fills perfect for everything from rock and roll and country to jazz and R&B. A set of modern grooves is also included for producers looking to add some vintage spice to their contemporary sound.
These MIDI patterns were played live by professional drummers – find the beat that suits the track you're working on, choose fills and variations to match, then drag and drop into your host sequencer.
And if you're a drummer yourself, just hook up your e-drums and you're ready to go.
