EpiK DrumS is a deluxe collection of drumkit and groove instruments created with legendary producer and engineer, Ken Scott (The Beatles, Elton John, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Supertramp, etc.) and five iconic drummers known for their work on numerous original classic rock recordings. EpiK DrumS is designed specifically to replicate drum performances from a MIDI keyboard or electronic drumkit that offers a stunningly realistic emulation of an actual live drum session. EpiK DrumS has captured authentic vintage drum sounds from a diverse range of classic artists.
 

• Recorded by legendary producer and engineer Ken Scott
• Five legendary drummers: Bill Cobham, Bob Siebenberg, Terry Bozzio, Woody Woodmansey, Rod Morgenstein and the 60's and 70's kits.
• Superior quality drum recordings of individual hits
• Multitrack recordings provide discrete mic tracks
• The closest thing to a live drum recording session available for your computer based production

If you want to create drum tracks for your music that sounds like you were in a top notch studio with world class drummer, EpiK DrumS is as close as it gets.

To do this type of product authentically required a lot of meticulous work hunting down the specific studios that had the right equipment to recreate the sound Ken would have gotten at Trident Studios and other places in the 60's, 70's and 80's. We had Ross Garfield, the "Drum Doctor", get us the specific drum kits to spec and we flew the drummers in to studios all over the world to have a one time reunion between the original drummer and producer/engineer so we could capture for all time their specific character drum sound as if we had extracted it right out of the album masters.

All along the way we learned a lot about recording, mixing and many valuable tips from Ken Scott who in many ways was like a mentor for me. Fortunately for everyone else Ken has released both a DVD called Epik Drums EDU, an educational DVD about recording and mixing drums, and also a new book called "From Abbey Road to Ziggy Stardust" where he tells fascinating stories of his adventures in the studio working with a list of artists and bands that shaped music history.

While we initially set out to create Epik Drums for sampler and loop formats such as Kontakt, Reason, Rex etc. over time more and more people requested we bring these powerful drum kit samples over to popular dedicated drum software packages such as FXPansion's BFD2. We've released individual kits from the collection to a great reception and now I'm very excited that for the first time we're offering all 7 kits in BFD format (the 5 drummer's kits plus 2 bonus kits, one that recreates the 70's drum sound of Elton John albums Ken recorded and another kit in the style of Ringo/Beatles).

We have it for one great bundle price and if you love a variety of drum sounds that sit in the mix with that elusive authentic "vintage" character this is something not to miss.
