Looking for a versatile drumset for your pedal drum machine like the acoustic ones used on some of the best-selling records from the ’70s, ’80s, and up to the present? Look no further than STUDIO LEGEND. This virtual drumset samples the iconic Yamaha Recording Custom (aka 9000), which has been used in countless hit songs over the years.

The STUDIO LEGEND drumset is incredibly punchy, warm, and full-bodied with a short sustain, so it gets out of the way quickly. Its medium ambiance is halfway between our Studio Standard and Rock Standard drumsets, making it ideal for a wide range of music styles, from Pop and Rock to Country, Blues, and even Jazz.

The set sampled here is similar to the one Dave Weckl played in the ’80s and ’90s, but it has been upgraded with a RIMS mounting system for the toms. This results in the fullest tone, fatness, and sustain that the original mounting system doesn’t achieve. For this sampling session, the drumset was fitted with drum heads that produce a deep, warm sound with plenty of attack but with short sustain. This provides all the presence and body while quickly getting out of the way.

The snare drum in the STUDIO LEGEND drumset is a custom GoranGrooves maple drum with wooden hoops built about a decade ago. This drum adds a unique and distinctive sound to the set, making it stand out from other virtual drumsets on the market.

The STUDIO LEGEND drumset was recorded at full dynamic range using a collection of high-definition mics from Earthworks, Focusrite ISA828 preamps, and Lynx Aurora N converters. This ensures you get the most authentic and realistic drum sounds possible, with every nuance and detail captured in stunning clarity.

Whether you’re a professional performer or a jamming enthusiast, the STUDIO LEGEND drumset is the perfect choice for adding that iconic Yamaha Recording Custom sound to your gigs.

History Of Yamaha Recording Custom

Launching the ‘9000’ professional drumset line in the mid-’70s, Yamaha created a new standard that quickly became highly sought after by pro drummers and producers alike. The series was later renamed Yamaha Recording Custom.

Legendary drummer Steve Gadd, who was involved in its design, helped make it famous. Along with other great session drummers by the likes of Jeff Porcaro, John JR Robinson, and Vinnie Colaiuta, they helped solidify its staple as one of the most recorded drumsets in history by playing it on countless recordings throughout the ’70s and ’80s.

This product is included in the GoranGrooves Complete Collection 2024 for BeatBuddy.

STUDIO LEGEND is also available as a DAW plugin in VST, AAX, and AU formats and as a standalone app for Windows and MacOS. It includes BeatBuddy DRM format.

ULTRA-REALISTIC DRUMS

Unmatched in drum realism, GoranGrooves’ kits sound like real drums and percussion being played right in front of you in a room instead of a bunch of individual drums sounding in their own isolated spaces.

GoranGrooves’ meticulously crafted drum samples blend science and art, imbuing a unique character that defines the identity of any drum machine or software VI they are played on.

You’ll still get the size and breadth beyond the form factor while keeping within BeatBuddy’s 100MB RAM framework.

MULTIPLE DYNAMIC LEVELS FOR DRUMSETS

Each drum and cymbal was sampled at many dynamic levels to faithfully capture the instrument’s full dynamic range.

Each instrument comes with enough dynamic levels to produce a believable performance on your guitar pedal drummer.

ROUND-ROBIN SAMPLES FOR DRUMSETS

A human ear can intuitively tell the difference between the same snare sample played repeatedly and a real drummer playing a snare drum. When a drummer strikes a drum, each sub-sequential stroke is slightly different from the one before, no matter how consistently they are played.

We sampled each drum and cymbal numerous times at various dynamic levels to solve this. Then, during playback, samples are swapped, and a different sample is triggered for each hit.

FROM THE PRODUCER OF THE ORIGINAL CONTENT FOR BEATBUDDY AND THE BB PREMIUM LIBRARY

MEET YOUR DRUM WIZ

If you use BeatBuddy, you are familiar with Goran Rista’s work. Goran was the sole drummer producer of the original content that has shipped on the BB and BB Mini for the last decade. He also produced 99.5% of the premium content previously sold at BB Premium Library.

To enable even more musicians to use his realistic drum sample libraries and MIDI drum loops, Goran developed and launched Handy Drums, award-winning virtual drum and percussion instruments for DAW users.

A graduate of New Zealand’s School Of Music with a degree in Jazz Performance, Goran has extensively traveled the world playing music before settling in Miami, FL, as a session drummer/ producer for the last 18 years.

He has produced thousands of MIDI drum loops and over two dozen drum sample libraries in various formats, used by well over 100,000 musicians worldwide, both live and in the studio.
