Handy Drums- ROCK LEGEND v2 (FREE TRIAL)

These drums just sound HUGE. Well rounded and tonally balanced.

Snare has a woody sound with a musical “crack” as part of its natural attack.

The 28″ kick is so massive sounding that you can literally feel the whole room shake. This was carefully captured with a series of room mics for a fully immersive listening experience. The result is that you can really hear a wide stereo image from the kick itself, yet the bottom end is well centered.

With this release, we pay tribute to the great legendary rock drummer, John Bonham, who made his legacy not only with his incredible feel and deep grooves but also with his drum sound. The “Bonham” drum sound is characterized by large, open drums captured in a realistic way.

We sampled a large vintage ’71 Ludwig kit with a natural ambiance. As with most of our other kits, no artificial reverb was added. We were aiming at capturing the essence of the “Bonham” sound while utilizing modern production techniques.

This kit is a great alternative to the Rock Standard drumset but would also be at home for any acoustic, singer song-writer-style track as one example. Due to its large, all-enveloping roomy kick, it could find great use as a base in modern R&B (think Umbrella, One Thing, etc) or even Hip Hop. Try some saturation in the post and it opens a whole new number of styles it will make a solid foundation for.

This product is included in the Producer Collection plugin bundle.
