[NAMM] Sonoma Retro Drums: 60's Volume 1

Retro Drums: 60's Volume 1 DrummerPack features 10 Groovesets performed by Billy Martin in the style of legendary Jimi Hendrix Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell. 1960s drums and cymbals (in Mitch’s specifications) and vintage recording gear and techniques were used to recreate the classic Mitch Mitchell sound. The live audio drum loops cover a range of stylistic emulations of Mitch’s signature grooves and fills, and are presented in stretchable REX format for ease of tempo selection.

Variations, fills, intros, stops, and endings are all included for groovy retro drum track creations in your DAW. Also included are 2 Multi-Velocity layered MIDI kits featuring sounds sampled from the vintage '60s kit, as well as MIDI file versions of the grooves and fills represented in this collection. Single hit kit sounds are also available for addition to your audio loops.

All audio is 48kHz/24-bit and created in a pro studio using digital (ProTools HD3) and analog (Neumann, Neve, etc.) recording equipment. DrumCore works with most DAWs, and supports dragging audio and MIDI directly to tracks in applications such as ACID 7, Digital Performer 6, Live 6 and up, Logic Pro 8 and up, Pro Tools 7.4.2 and up, Cubase 4 and up (32 bit), and Sonar 8 (32 bit).
