A groovy Ringo Starr-inspired kit that takes you back to the days of The Beatles. This kit works perfectly for anything from early 60s Motown to the psychedelic pop of the late 60s. Medium sizes and coated heads give you a genuine pop sound that is period correct.

The included presets provide instant access to a inspiring sounds ranging from clean and pristine to distorted and heavily processed. Use presets as-is or easily tweak them to achieve a unique sound that's exactly right for your music.

Soundtrade Studios

Recorded clean and clear in the large room at Soundtrade Studios Studio 301 in Stockholm, famed for its sheer size and great acoustics, with a range of additional presets which can be tweaked to get this kit sounding exactly how you like.

Enhance the '60s vibe using Addictive Drums' post production features; making the drums mono, panning them all the way to one side and putting the percussion on the other, EQ the reverb, the sky's the limit.

Vintage Kit - Ludwig Black Oyster

Very few drum kits can be said to have changed the history of music, but in 1964, when the freshly arrived Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan show, with Ringo playing a Ludwig Black Oyster Pearl Drum set, future garage bands across america pricked up their ears, saved up their dollars, and Ludwig was soon having to run 3 shifts a day to keep up with production.

This authentic vintage kit sounds even better today, the shells having lost all of their water content, and been topped off with a full set of coated heads, giving extra resonance for that authentic early '60s pop sound. This ADpak is versatile enough to sit perfectly in the pocket when applied to Motown and later '60s Psychedelic Rock.
