Now put the sounds and grooves of legendary RUSH drummer Neil Peart into your recordings
The Neil Peart Drums Sound and Groove Library for SampleTank is a new, meticulously recorded collection of SampleTank instruments that includes over 2,000 drum samples and over 800 audio grooves played by Neil Peart, the legendary drummer for the iconic Canadian band Rush, Recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Neil Peart Drums was recorded by recent Rush producer Nick Rasculinecz, along with IK US founder and executive producer Dave Kerzner. No expense was spared in using this highly stylized drum kit, the actual set played by Neil during Rush's "Snakes and Arrows" album and tour.
Every nuance of the kit is captured with 8 speeds per drum, using up to 8 round robins per speed. In addition to the full kit instrument, you get individual SampleTank instruments for your drums, snares, toms, hi-hats, ride cymbals, and crash cymbals, so you can customize sounds, add effects, and perform individual instrument processing on each element using multiple parts in SampleTank. Add a little extra compression to the kick drum, a little more reverb to the snare, some high-quality hiss to the hi-hats, each without affecting the other elements of the kit.
All drums are mapped using a general MIDI mapping so you can mix and match elements from the Neil Peart Kit with elements from other SampleTank factory drum kits or other additional SampleTank instrument collections such as the Billy Cobham Kit.
Neil Peart Drums also includes audio tracks played by Neil in the style of many of your favorite Rush songs. There are 17 instruments grouped as "songs", complete with grooves, fills and accents and each at its own tempo. And thanks to SampleTank's STRETCH engine, you can easily change the tempo of the audio grooves to match your recording without affecting the drum tone.
Neil Peart Drums are perfect for rock, metal, jazz fusion, pop and almost any type of music where you need a clear, expressive drum track, well articulated at every speed.
So add legendary “rock and roll hall of fame” drum sounds to your next recording with the new Neil Peart Drums for SampleTank.
