The 1950s Slingerland Gene Krupa Deluxe Ensemble drum library is a great addition to any producers drum collection. Offering a unique vintage sound, Slingerland Drums was made famous by artists such as Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, ELO & Neil Peart. This drum library highlights the unique timbre of the 50s kit by using a 1970s Trident console and our favorite vintage microphones, preamps, compressors and EQ. This kit has the ability to sound like it belongs on the band stand or as the heavy lead in an indie hit song. It’s strange how polished the shells sound when only slightly dampened by using tea towels. The day after we finished these samples, they were already on the next mix that came through our studio! These sounds are already workhorses in our daily studio life.
The Mix
“Tight” mix includes the top and bottom snare mics on their own.
“Natural” mix is the top snare, bottom snare, overheads and room mics mixed to be an even album ready sound.
”Vibe” is our recordings, but with the effects send mixed in. Fx from our space echo, spring reverb, vintage rat pedal, etc.
“Human” is our addition of a human element. We have flams, drum rolls, rim clicks, snare drops, tom drops… snare rolls into kicks, hi-hat chokes, and other elements to add to the song to give it a more human sound.
“Cymbals” include velocity options for crashes, rides, and hi-hats.
With this kit, we included an additional folder from brushes. Not only do you get the stick sound of the kit, you can choose between a mixed velocity brush option.

- In depth, multi velocity drum sample library
