Sampling for this collection has been undertaken in true Toontrack style, with a wealth of both drum and acoustic capture. From this initial spark, so followed Henry Mancini, Sam Cooke, George Benson, Steely Dan, Miles Davis, Quincy Jones, Frank Sinatra, Toto, Robbie Williams, and finally, Michael Jackson.īy any standard, that’s an impressive CV and one that accounts for twenty-three Grammys, but couple this with the equally legendary Capitol Studios in LA, alongside a host of super-fine drum kits, and you have something of a formidable collection, extending through the Decades – no surprise how Toontrack came up with the name. His credits read like a who’s who of music from the last seventy years, beginning with Duke Ellington, who he worked with as a recording apprentice. Duke, Steely, Jacko and friendsĪl Schmidt might not be a household name, but it’s absolutely guaranteed that you will have heard his work.
Billed as the bigger brother to the more modest EZ Drummer package, it offers access to a larger and more elaborate number of samples, while also allowing the exploitation of the EZ Drummer line, which caters for everything from Latin percussion to Junk kits, so any expansion library which further compliments the excellent in-house SD3 samples is going to be worth considering, especially when produced in conjunction with an industry legend. Toontrack’s Superior Drummer package has arguably changed the way that many producers work, when it comes to utilising live drums.
