It features acoustic drums recorded in innovative new ways to achieve a warm, dry, chunky sound. There are no traditional velocity layers, only 'normal' + 'accent'. Each of these layers has 10 round robins which gives the drums a living, organic feel.

MICROPHONES | CONTACT TRANSDUCERS | TRANSFORMERS | ECHO CHAMBERS

All the sounds in AC-DR are generated from acoustic drums, using mics, contact mics, live echo chambers and transformer distortion.

Each AC-DR drum module has up to 5 channels to blend. Each of these channels is part of the same drum hit, all perfectly in phase and time aligned together.

Warm acoustic tones that you can tweak and shape like analogue.

ROBIN POWER

EACH HIT IS UNIQUE
20 HITS PER DRUM
NORMAL + ACCENT
HAND EDITED SETS
Each drum was painstakingly recorded in large sets of hits which were then edited by ear to produce a tight set of 10 random hits which sound as close to identical as possible.


ORGANIC SPACES

2 ECHO CHAMBERS
RECORDED @ ROCKFIELD STUDIOS
All the bass drum, snare, rimshot and tom samples were re-amped in Rockfield's 2 echo chambers. The resulting reverb samples can be blended as a separate channel:a vital extra building block for drum design.
