Native Instruments introduces ABBEY ROAD 80s Drums

Native Instruments introduced ABBEY ROAD 80s DRUMS, the third instrument developed together with the iconic British recording studios (read about Native Instruments ABBEY ROAD 70s DRUMS here). With two expertly engineered premium drum kits for use in the free KONTAKT PLAYER and the KONTAKT 4 sampler, ABBEY ROAD 80s DRUMS allows musicians and producers to recreate the defining drum sound of the 80s with the highest level of sonic fidelity and authenticity. The set contains two characteristic instruments that significantly contributed to the sound of the respective musical decade - a vintage Yamaha 9000, one of the most groundbreaking and most-recorded kits in music history, and a Slingerland Magnum Chrome with single-headed concert toms and a full set of Octobans, the melodically tuned tubular toms that were popular among drummers of that time. Both drum kits were set up and sampled in Abbey Road's Studio Two and Studio Three, taking full advantage of the acoustic properties of these famous recording rooms, as well as the revered Abbey Road's gear. ABBEY ROAD 80s DRUMS is available for purchase for an MSRP of $119 US / 99 EUR. [source]
