The Kits:

- 'HALI-B Kit': An old Gretsch kit with old thin Zildjian cymbals. The drumheads are also old and worn, perfect for that cool, dirty sound. Sizes: Bassdrum: 22"x14", Snaredrum: 14"x5", Toms: 10"x8" & 12"x8", and Flor-tom: 16"x14".

- 'Beefy Ballad Kit': A Yamaha Custom Drums Birch kit recorded in a small booth through a 'SSL 9000' console. Quite compressed and tuned down for that beefy sound. Sizes: Bassdrum: 22"x16", Ludwig Acrolite Snare: 14"x5" , 12"x8"; 14"x12" and 16"x14" toms. Zildjian K Custom 22" Ride Zildjian A 17" crash, K Custom 17" crash and Zildjian 18" A Custom crash. 15" Zildjian Heavy Marching Cymbals Hi-hats. Remo coated Ambassadors drumheads on all drums.

- 'Big Ambient Kit: Like the Beefy Ballad Kid except for the Bassdrum was recorded short after in the studio's big room and featured a 24" Premier Genista Bassdrum.

- 'The Retro Ambient Kit': An old Ludwig one with 26" Bassdrum, 14",16" and 18" toms. Snaredrum was 14"x6.5". Transparent Ambassador heads on toms and bassdrum. Recorded in an empty public theatre. The idea was to get a big old sound, so they used a huge PA-system which the drums was fed rather loud into. The sound of the Ambient 1 and 2 mics are mostly from PA-system. 'Ambient 1' was placed ca. 6 metres away from the kit and 'Ambient 2' ca. 15 metres - at the back of the room. The physical distance between the kit an the Ambient -mics was long, too long. So the delay caused by the long distance were compensated for in editing. All samples went through a serious treat of compression to get the most out of them.

- 'Power Drum Kit': This kit was recorded in the newly restored attic at Gjøkeredet Studio. The goal was to make samples that could be used in rock/pop rock that had attitude. So the drums were recorded with the best preamps, mics and outboards that they could come up with. The drums were also played quite hard which is important for rockier music. They recorded Custom toms with brand new, shiny REMO Pinstripe heads. This combination is legendary and has been used on thousands of records from the early eighties up until today.

As well as these 5 multisampled kits they've also included a huge amount of grooves to get you started. Just match the MIDI file with the correct sampler instrument and you can perfectly sync our loops with your track.
