"Rhapsody In Bohemia" Trigger Sample Pack - Queen Inspired Ludwig Samples

Hi everyone,

I'm delighted to announce the first of what will be many sample packs for @Slate Digital's; Trigger 2 plugin (more formats to come in the coming weeks) and the purchase also includes the full download complement of 24bit.WAV files for use with any sampler of your choice.

I'm a massive fan of Queen and Roger Taylor and given that the band have had a resurgence of interest in recent months with the Bohemian Rhapsody film I thought it'd be fun to put together a sample pack that pays tribute to those glorious Queen drum sounds of the mid 70's era.

These samples are recorded with a view to sounding extremely natural, fat and full of tone and as a result they are capable of being used in a wide range of genres where an organic vibe is desired.

The pack features a gorgeous Ludwig classic maple kit with a 22x16 kick (In both dampened and wide-open tunings), 12x8, 13x10 and 16x16 toms and capped off with a 1968 Ludwig Supraphonic 400 chrome over brass snare drum.

Each drum comes with separate control over the close mic’ed signal, stereo overheads, a mono room, stereo room, auxiliary close vintage U87 track and a special print of the studio echo chamber enabling the user to quickly move between tight and punchy to wide open and ambient.

The kick and snare drums feature 6 velocity layers with multiple samples per layer and also includes a second articulation for triggering hard hits.
The toms feature 5 velocity layers with multiple samples.

The microphone list used to capture the samples is as follows:

Kick Close - RE-20
Snare Top - SM57
Overheads - Neumann U87
Stereo Room - Royer 121s
Mono Room - Coles 4038
Auxiliary close Mic - Vintage Silver Neumann U87

All captured through API preamps.

For a limited time anyone who purchases this sample pack will get a free Kick and Snare pack of The “Bites the Dust” kit which pays homage to the song of a similar name. It was also captured using the Ludwig 22x16 kick and Ludwig Supraphonic snare, but in alternative tunings. The microphone list for that capture includes:

Kick Inside - RE20
Kick Inside 2 - Sennheiser 421
Snare Top - Sennheiser 421
Top - Beyer M201
Bottom - AKG C414 Silver
Overheads - AKG C414 Gold

The intro price is £8 and will be in place until Christmas at Eatsleepdrums - Online Drums, Recording, Mixing Services And Drumming Blog - Store
