Drums From Eureka Records [Vol. 1]
This is my first sample pack of drums recorded at Eureka Records in Wyandotte, MI. The drums were recorded in both Eureka’s live room (Studio A) and the warehouse-esque photo studio attached to Eureka (Studio B). Studio A has a tighter sound with a short decay and Studio B has a big and open sound with a long decay. This pack is made up of exclusively one-shots from 9 different vintage and modern drums that were recorded through Eureka Record’s collection of analog preamps, compressors, and EQs.
Each drum has multiple velocities of hits and multiple mic variations per hit (close mics, room mics, all mics, etc). The files included are 44.1kHz_16bit WAVs and TCI preset files — Slate Trigger 2.
Specifics:
Studio A and Studio B:
Kicks: Tama Starclassic, vintage Slingerland, Gretch Round Badge
Snares: vintage maple Ludwig, vintage Ludwig Acrolite
Racks: Gretch Round Badge, Ludwig Breakbeats
