Drumdrops

Drumdrops has released Folk Rock Drops Volume 2 which features 17 drum tracks played by Folk Rock drummer Martyn Barker and recorded and mixed by Producer / Engineer Phill Brown. Recorded at the historic Miloco Livingston Studios in London in the brighter sounding live room this kit was close mic'd. The kit used was Martyn's 1980's Gretsch Maple 4416 Kit.

The drum tracks take reference from Artists such as Ray La Montagne, Elliot Smith, Bon Iver, Goldfrapp, Little Feat and Bombay Bicycle Club amongst others. Ranging in tempo from 80 BPM to 184 BPM there is a huge range of tracks and grooves to choose from. Six tracks were played with Brushes and two with Hotrods.

For the sound Phill Brown (John Martyn, Bob Marley, Rolling Stones, Talk Talk, Led Zeppelin) close mic'd this kit as a contrast to the 5 mic process used on Volume 1. Mics used were classic drum mics – AKG D112 on the Kick, Shure SM57s on the Snare, Sennheiser 421's on the toms, KM84 on the Ride and Hi-Hat, Coles 4038's as overheads and two room mics – a Sony C48 and Neumann U89. These pick up the ambience of the drum room. All of the mics were recorded through the SSL G-Series mic pre's and recorded straight to 2" tape on a Studer A80 with a 16 track headblock before being transferred into Pro Tools.

All seventeen tracks can be purchased as individual tracks as multi-tracks (unmixed), stems (mixed) or drum loop packs. The Multi-tracks come as full-length live multi-tracks and song construction loops. The Live Multi-tracks come with a tempo map and OMF file to export into other DAW. Drumdrops also provide templates for Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Reason, REAPER, Studio One and Ableton Live and the audio comes as 24-bit WAVs. The Multi-track Song Loops are locked to the beat and cut into song structures such as Intro, chorus, verse, middle 8, Bridge and Outro.

The Stems and mix packs which have all the drum parts and percussion as separate stems come as full length 24-bit WAVs and these also come with a tempo map. The Stem and Mix packs also include mixed versions of the song construction loops found in the Multi-track packs.

The loop packs contains a number of 'groove' loops (about 11 per track) and then a number of 'fill' loops. All of these loops come as the full mix and full mix no percussion (where applicable). They come formatted as 24-bit WAVs, Rex 2 Files and 24 and 16-bit Apple Loops (The 16-bit apple loops are compatible with Garageband). Each drum track can be purchased track by track or if you buy the album (in any format) you get 20% off the price.
