Critic Reviews

NI Abbey Road Modern Drums

soundonsound.com

Native Instruments' Abbey Road Modern Drums impresses with its meticulous recording process at the iconic Abbey Road Studios, utilizing top-tier equipment like Brauner and Neumann mics. The library boasts over 40,000 samples, offering a depth of realism with up to 27 velocity layers. The inclusion of unique samples, such as "splash on snare" and a kick drum mic'd with a rewired monitor speaker, adds creative flair. However, while the product captures a realistic studio sound, its appeal might be limited to those seeking nuanced, high-fidelity samples over more versatile or user-friendly options.
