SNARE DRUMS
We could mention that we set out to record the best Jazz drum library ever made but ended up Pearl 50th anniversary Solid Maple Shell
with something far bigger; drums that transcend the narrow confines of a genre and rather define (#3 of 100 ever made)
an era - an age of music spanning from Jazz, Blues to Hip Hop and Rock.
We could mention Blackbird Studio's stock of 1400 Microphones, 35 channels of Pultec EQ, 24 TOMS
channels of Fairchild compression and hundreds of outboard mic/pre channels including 10" Gretsch USA Custom Series
Telefunken, Neve, API, RCA and Chandler. Or how this studio not only is the natural choice for 12" & 14" Pearl Reference Series
the who's who of the music industry but that it is known to lend a documented bit of magic to 16" Slingerland Radio king
every project to ever enter and exit its doors.
We could even go as far as rant about how drummer and world musician Roy "Futureman"
Wooten heard every single hit and swirl recorded as part of a larger whole, as part of a musical
sequence rather than as a solitary, monotonous hit and that the result permeates every sample
with an intensity and force unheard of. Or we could mention how these sounds incarnate the
past, embody the present and at the same time how they will help you shape the sound of
tomorrow through Superior Drummer's endless possibilities.
We could even boldly proclaim that this library of drums is the most comprehensive ever made,
recorded through signal chains of outboard and microphones that would leave even the most
seasoned veterans in utter awe.
But we think the drum sounds speak for themselves. No introduction needed.
Welcome to the Superior Drummer 2 family: Roots SDX.
