Vintage Folk Rock Kit是一款适用于60年代/70年代民谣摇滚或独立摇滚声音的绝佳套件。我们使用了传奇工程师/制作人Phill Brown（Laura Marling/John Martyn/Rolling Stones）的工程技能，他在这些年里对录音带的深入了解帮助塑造了套件的声音。使用的工具包是一个漂亮的1966年路德维希好莱坞旧工具包，由传奇鼓手马丁·奥尔德姆设置。为了指导我们了解套件的声音，我们使用了民谣专家鼓手Martyn Barker（Rufus Wainwright、Richard Hawley、Katherine Williams），他使用棍子、热棒和刷子对套件进行了采样，有效地为您提供了三个套件——很好！
对于声音，Phill Brown（John Martyn、Bob Marley、滚石乐队、Talk Talk、齐柏林飞艇乐队）利用他多年积累的知识，回到了60年代，当时他在奥林匹克工作室工作。Phill的想法是创造一种具有现代风格的20世纪60年代的鼓声。他想捕捉自然的鼓声，并记录"死亡"的房间，而不是将麦克风放在套件附近。他在套件上只使用了五个麦克风：一个在踢腿上，一个在圈套上，两个套件麦克风放在套件周围，提供了令人惊讶的良好立体声画面，还有一个单声道头顶。所有麦克风都是通过API麦克风预录录制的。
该套件是在利文斯顿的干燥音响室录制的（我们为现代民谣摇滚套件保留了肝脏室）。虽然声音是可控的，但它周围的氛围很好。利文斯顿多年来一直被用来录制许多热门唱片，并以伦敦顶级鼓室之一而闻名。
我们使用的套件是一个漂亮的1966年路德维希好莱坞套件。它几乎与Ringo Starr曾经使用过的Super Classic套件完全相同，只是它有两个机架，而不仅仅是一个。这些听起来很漂亮的工具包。使用的圈套是Martyn拥有的1967年木制Ludwig snare。我们还包括一些铃鼓和摇琴的发音。
Kontakt 5 Pack附带了Drumdrops Kontatt Instrument，仅供Kontatt 5.5的完整版Native Instruments使用。该乐器配有自己的混音器部分，让您可以控制我们包含的单个鼓轨和卷积混响。每个通道都有一个均衡器和瞬态主控器。您可以更改鼓的速度曲线，并且有一个随机化功能可以添加细微的更改，使鼓更加逼真。Kontakt包有57个独立的关节，24个速度步，包括5个圆形知更鸟。在这个套件中（就像我们的复古Gretsch套件一样），我们的Kontakt功能被称为混合混合。您可以控制每个鼓上围绕套件放置的3个套件麦克风的平衡。这意味着Kontakt包装上装载了令人难以置信的16400个样品。
什么是Kontakt 5包？
复古民谣摇滚套件是第一个使用Drumdrops Kontakt乐器第二版的套件。这台新仪器是从头开始设计和重建的。步序器已经不复存在了，但它加载了更多的效果和更可定制的v-drum midi贴图部分。该仪器为用户提供了对每个带有内置混合器的滚筒的完全控制。使用我们的麦克风混音器功能，您可以调整用于在每个鼓上录制套件的5个麦克风中的每一个的混音。它赋予你绝对的控制权。该乐器还允许您添加从各种工作室和我们使用的舷外机采样的卷积混响，以及两种延迟设置。为了增加整体声音的真实感，我们采用了多个循环样本，这些样本利用了16400个包含的样本，还有一个随机化工具。每个通道都有一个4波段均衡器、一个压缩器、形状特征和磁带饱和度。立体声总线自带压缩器、限幅器、均衡器、粉碎和图像工具。它配备了一系列MIDI映射，包括与Roland V鼓和DTX900的完全兼容。然而，新的kontakt乐器也允许鼓手构建自己的自定义MIDI映射，以完美地适应他们的工具包。这个包非常适合制作人、工程师、鼓手、词曲作者和音乐家，他们想要最高水平的真实感，并且是最新完整版kontakt 5.5（不是kontaktplayer）的用户。
Lite版本
包中包括一个完整版的套件，可以访问所有样本，还有一个方便的精简版。精简版具有完整版的所有功能，但不加载循环样本。这非常适合在RAM和速度可能受到更多限制的笔记本电脑上加载。使用精简版以提高速度，使用完整版以提高质量。
Kontakt 5.5+完全需要（此包不适用于免费的Kontatt玩家）
The Vintage Folk Rock Kit is an awesome kit for a 60s / 70s Folk Rock or Indie rock sound. We used the engineering skills of the legendary engineer / producer Phill Brown (Laura Marling / John Martyn / Rolling Stones) whose indepth knowledge of recording bands during these years helped mould the sound of the kit. The Kit used was a beautiful old 1966 Ludwig Hollywood kit and it was setup by legendary drumtech Martin Oldham. To direct us on the sound of the kit we used Folk specialist drummer Martyn Barker (Rufus Wainwright, Richard Hawley, Katherine Williams) who sampled the kit using sticks, hotrods and brushes which effectively gives you three kits - nice!
For the sound Phill Brown (John Martyn, Bob Marley, Rolling Stones, Talk Talk, Led Zeppelin) used his years of accumulated knowledge and went back to the time of the 60s when he was based at Olympic Studios. Phill's idea was to create a 1960s drum sound with a modern twist. Instead of positioning the microphones close to the kit he wanted to capture a natural drum sound and record the 'dead' room. He used only five microphones on the kit: one on the kick, the snare, two kit microphones placed around the kit which provide a surprisingly good stereo picture, and a mono overhead. All of the mics were recorded through API mic pre's.
The kit was recorded in the drier sounding room at Livingston (we saved the liver room for the Modern Folk Rock Kit ). Although the sound is controlled, it has a great ambience around it. Livingston has been used to record a multitude of hit records over the years and is well known for being one of London's top drum rooms.
The kit we used for this was a beautiful vintage 1966 Ludwig Hollywood Kit. It is almost identical to the Super Classic kit which Ringo Starr once used, except it has two rack toms rather than just the one. These are beautiful sounding kits. The snare used was a 1967 wooden Ludwig Snare owned by Martyn. We also include some tambourine and shaker articulations.
The Kontakt 5 Pack comes with the Drumdrops Kontakt Instrument for exclusive use in Native Instruments full version of Kontakt 5.5. The instrument comes with it's own mixer section giving you control over the individual drum tracks and convolution reverbs that we have included. Each channel has an EQ and Transient Master. You can change the velocity curves of the drums and there is a randomisation feature to add subtle changes to make the drums even more realistic. The Kontakt pack comes with 57 separate articulations, 24 velocity steps and includes 5 round robins. In this kit (like our vintage Gretsch kit) our Kontakt feature known as Mix Blend comes into its own. You can control the balance of the 3 kit microphones positioned around the kit on each and every drum. This means the Kontakt pack comes loaded with an incredible 16400 samples.
What Is the Kontakt 5 Pack?
The Vintage Folk Rock Kit is the first kit to use version 2 of the Drumdrops Kontakt Instrument. This new instrument has been designed and rebuilt from the ground up. Gone is the step sequencer but in are loads more effects and a much more customisable v-drum midi map section. The instrument provides the user with complete control over each of the drums with the inbuilt mixer. With our mic mixer feature you can adjust the mix of each of the 5 mics used to record the kit on each drum. It gives you absolute control. The instrument also allows you to add convolution reverbs that have been sampled from a variety of the studios and outboard we use as well as two delay settings. To increase the realism of the overall sound we have included multiple round robin samples which utilises the 16400 included samples and there is also a randomisation tool. Each channel has a 4 band equalizer, a compressor, shape feature and tape saturation. The stereo buss comes with its own compressor, limiter, EQ, Crush and image tools. It comes with a selection of MIDI maps including full compatability with Roland V-drums and the DTX900. However the new kontakt instrument also allows drummers to build their own custom MIDI maps to suit their kit perfectly. This pack is perfect for Producers, Engineers, Drummers, songwriters and musicians who want the highest level of realism and are users of the latest full version of kontakt 5.5 (not kontakt player).
Lite Version
Included in the pack is a full version of the kit accessing all of the samples and a handy lite version. The lite version has all of the features of the full version but does not load the round robin samples. This is perfect for loading up on Laptops where your RAM and speed may be more restricted. Use the Lite version for speed and the full version for quality.
