Loopmasters Acoustic Drum Workshop

With the biggest collection of Drums in the land, Matt Butlin takes us on an epic tour of his customised collection, sampling everything in sight!

Session drummer Matt Butlin has amassed a huge collection of Drums with an insatiable addiction for the beat! Inside the pack you’ll find over 500 One Shot samples, illustrating the scope of his collection – with 10 different Cymbals, Live and Processed Kicks, over 30 Tom samples and …30 different Snares! This amounts to over 200 Snare samples alone, each with their own dynamics, tone and timbre – lovingly recorded in close-mic’d 24-Bit quality.

Snares include Jungle Snares, Maple, Brass, Acrylic and even a stone version, where we’ve captured hits of varying velocity, as well as your staple Rimshots, Stick-on-Sticks and Rolls. Cymbals come in the form of Bells, Chinas, Hats, Rides, Crashes and Splashes, with Kicks both Live and Processed, with 3 different Live variations and a number of outboard fattening methods.

Every care has been taken in recording these great instruments using top mics through Neve preamps going to top quality digital converters into ProTools HD – for that ultimate studio shine. In addition to the Wav samples, 15 Sampler patches are included to program your ideal Drum setup!

Acoustic Drum Workshop is available for purchase for £17.95 GBP.
