Product Information

All You Need Is Drums That Help It All Come Together!

This product is a collection of authentic multitrack drum grooves played on a Ludwig® "Ringo-style" drum kit and is made to be played from Sonic Reality’s Infinite Player. The kit was a vintage 60's "Downbeat" kit with black oyster pearl and even had "The Beatles" logo on the bass drum head. The grooves were recorded in a Nashville studio in a medium sized live room for flexibility to get a 60's dry drum sound or a more ambient rock sound all from the same kit. The sound of the kit is not muted (no tea towels used this time) so it is most similar to an early Beatle-esque sound with open sounding toms and snare. The RingBeat grooves played in the style of both early and later Beatles records and can be used easily in conjunction with the RingBeats drum kit.

Sonic Notes:

Quote from Dave Kerzner of Sonic Reality about RingBeats Kit: "I am a huge Beatles fan so when Mark Hornsby told me he could get hold of a classic Beatles kit I was excited about including it for what was, at that time, to be a "British Rock" bundle in the Studio ProFiles series. Since the time these "British Rock" kits/grooves were recorded in 2005 I have been researching Beatles sounds, visiting Abbey Road Studios, reading the incredible book "Recording The Beatles" and getting first-hand mentoring from Ken Scott who recorded many of the songs on "Magical Mystery Tour" and "The White Album". There are many different Beatle-esque drum sounds that we ve achieved over the years by using particular rare microphones such as AKG® D19's and D20's, Coles® Ribbon 4038 Mics and Neumann® KM56 as well as, of all things, tea towels on the top of the drums and a sweater in the bass drum! So, while this RingBeat kit is a nice first introduction to the wonderful sound of that classic Ludwig® Downbeat "Beatles" kit it is scratching the surface of what we ve captured since. Keep an eye out for a variety of different 60's Ludwig kits sampled and treated in unique ways in studios from LA to London. This RingBeat kit and forthcoming samples of similar Ludwig® kits make up an incredible luxury of options for one of the most desired and sought after vintage sounds in music production."
