Description
Overview
The Alan Parsons Vintage 70s Kit is a premium multichannel drum expansion for BFD3, meticulously crafted to recreate the iconic, dampened drum sounds of the early to mid-1970s. This library captures the timeless aesthetic heard on legendary albums by artists such as Pink Floyd and The Alan Parsons Project.
To achieve absolute sonic authenticity, a vintage Ludwig© kit was recorded through the historic EMI® TG12345 console—the same mixing desk utilized for the recording of “Dark Side of the Moon” and the Beatles’ “Abbey Road.” The result is a professional-grade toolkit for producers seeking a classic, organic drum tone with a high degree of realism.
