ABBEY ROAD | 70s DRUMS is the second of Native Instruments' collaborations with Abbey Road Studios London. This KONTAKT Instrument contains no emulations or modeling of any kind - ABBEY ROAD | 70s DRUMS is built entirely of high-quality samples of two distinctive vintage drum kits from the 1970s, made accessible via an easy-to-use interface newly created in conjunction with the Abbey Road experts. Made up of thousands of painstakingly sampled hits, every sound in this KONTAKT Instrument was recorded in Abbey Road's legendary Studio Two using classic vintage equipment from that period.

ABBEY ROAD 70s | DRUMS also includes mapping templates for instant play via E-Drums and drum software!

Two highly-sought after vintage drum kits were chosen by Abbey Road and Native Instruments sound engineers to give two highly distinctive 70s drum sounds.

The Open Kit is a LudwigO Vistalite Tequila Sunrise from 1972 with a 26" kick drum, 14" rack tom and 16" and 18" floor toms. Recorded in the legendary Studio Two of Abbey Road, this kit provides the big roomy sound immortalized on countless classic rock recordings.

The Tight Kit is a vintage 1970s Premier model with 22" kick drum, 13" rack tom, 14" and 16" floor toms. The samples from this kit were also recorded in Studio Two of Abbey Road, but dedicated acoustic panels were put around the kit to achieve the tight, punchy and dry sound that was very popular throughout the 70s.

ABBEY ROAD | 70s DRUMS were recorded using an EMI TG MKIII mixing console and 16-track analogue 2-inch tape machine using 1970s professional Dolby Noise Reduction and Ampex 456 tape.

Each kit was recorded with an array of microphones including classic Neumann«, AKG« and Beyerdynamic« models from the studio's vast microphone collection u one of the largest in the world. The individual direct and room microphone signals are all separately adjustable - giving you detailed control of the overall sound.

Included with the Ludwig kit is an alternative mic set up pioneered and named after one of the great recording engineers, Glyn Johns. He has worked with a stellar array of artists, including the Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Clash, Led Zeppelin and The Who; but is also famous for developing a simple yet highly effective drum miking technique. Using just two overheads, one snare and one bass drum microphone, the Glyn Johns method achieves an open, live and realistic sound, which allows the character of the studio space to shine through.
