UPDATED AND ENHANCED

ABBEY ROAD | 80s DRUMMER is an enhanced version of the original ABBEY ROAD | 80s DRUMS, updated to integrate developments in KONTAKT. All the new ABBEY ROAD DRUMMER instruments include the advanced Mixer Section and Groove Library feature from STUDIO DRUMMER.

THE DRUM KITS

Two outstanding kits form the basis of this instrument:

The Black Kit, recorded in Studio Three, is a vintage Yamaha 9000 from the mid-80s – one of the most recorded drum kits in history. 

The Chrome Kit is a Slingerland Magnum fitted with single-headed concert toms – very fashionable during the 1980s.

Snares include Ludwig, Gretsch, Slingerland and Pearl models. And no 80s kit would be complete without a full set of Octobans – melodically-tuned tubular toms that were popular among many of the decade’s top drummers.
