Toontrack Hitmaker SDX Superior Drummer 3 Sound Expansion Standard

Sorry, this item is not available.

Vast collection of classic electric and acoustic drum sounds from Hugh Padgham.

The Hitmaker SDX Superior Drummer 3 expansion from Toontrack sets out to create an all-encompassing source of acoustic and electronic drums inspired by the ’80s and ’90s eras, and also reflect some of the most known drum sounds and album mileposts in the career of drummer Hugh Padgham. All in all, six unique acoustic kits were sourced as well as a massive collection of classic vintage hardware drum machines—all captured in the breathtaking ambience of the immaculate sonic marvel that is the British Grove Studios in London, UK. To add an ever more organic and period correct flavor, all drums and machines were recorded to tape before converted digitally. On top of that, the machines were amped through a PA system in the same ambience as the acoustic drums and captured using a similar microphone setup. This gives you an awe-inspiring canvas of acoustic and electronic sounds that you seamlessly can blend, mix, match and surgically modify using the broad set of onboard design tools available in Superior Drummer 3. Of course, should you want Hugh’s mixes right off the bat, there is a hefty amount of his custom presets included. This SDX gives you some of the greatest kits ever played and some of the most iconic drum machines ever created, all sonically inspired by some of the greatest music ever recorded by the very man who once put it down on tape. Simply put: If you’re looking for a source of drums that you can use to produce hits right out of the gate with, this SDX is it.
