Snare Drums Selects, Volume 1

Snare Drum Selects, Volume 1 was produced, recorded, and edited by John Emrich, MD contributor and creator of FXpansion’s BFD2 sample libraries, with the assistance of co-producer and Modern Drummer magazine associate editor Michael Dawson. According to Emrich, each drum was meticulously tuned and recorded in a multi-microphone format to showcase its unique sonic properties and offer the end user maximum flexibility. In addition to primary “snares-on” samples of each drum, SDSV1 also features alternate samples of selected drums being played with different combinations of sticks, brushes, mallets, and even hands.
