Native Instruments introduces ABBEY ROAD 50s DRUMMER

·0 comments·

Native Instruments introduced ABBEY ROAD 50s DRUMMER, a new KONTAKT instrument featuring the sound of two classic drum kits from the 1950s. The kits provide the distinctive drum sound of the era, which was necessary to compete with the electrified instruments gaining popularity at the time. Recorded with both state-of-the-art and period equipment at Abbey Road Studios in London, 50s DRUMMER also includes a groove library, mixer presets, and a new set of brush articulations, delivering the authentic feel of rock and roll, rhythm and blues, country, and jazz from the 1950s.

He has dusted off his impressive inventory of forgotten and elusive gear and recorded them all. Soothing samba rhythms, cheap organs and plasticky and charming keyboard tones: the timelessness of the sounds make them forever contemporary.

Thoughts on the new album range from brilliant and genius, to ‘meh’ and ‘not bad’. Anyway, for this edition of “Something for the weekend” we turn to the band Pigeon for a medley of older Daft Punk tunes we all love.
