Description:

For use in the free Kontakt Player and the industry-leading Kontakt 4 sampler, Abbey Roads 60s Drums features two quintessential drum kits of the Sixties era, a Gretsch and a Ludwig, which were recorded using Abbey Road‘s engineering expertise and arsenal of vintage equipment.

The heart of Abbey Road 60s Drums consists of two vintage drum kits.

  • A selection of vintage Zildjian cymbals were used from the early and late 60’s, including a rivet cymbal dating from 1963.
