These loops are a reflection of a musical apprenticeship spent adulating and emulating the great American drummers who defined and perfected Funk and Soul, and the great British drummers who created the sound of classic Heavy Rock. The drums used (Ludwig) and the drummer (John Gump) were both made in the late Sixties, and were recorded on 5 tracks to magnetic tape using the Glyn Johns drum miking method that is featured on so many recordings of the era.

The Real Snare Drum.

Real Music Media is proud to present the Real Snare Drum: a vintage 1972 Slingerland Sound King snare drum carefully sampled and mapped in an innovative and playable configuration. Each microphone has its own virtual channel, controlled by its own assigned midi CC#. The drum is sampled in 4 zones: center, 3 inch radius, 6 inch radius, and rim shot. Each zone has separate left and right hand samples mapped in an obvious and intuitive way, and there is round robin and velocity switching within each zone. The instrument also has decay, sustain and release controls each assigned to their own CC#.
