Decibel Studios

We wanted to make sure that with just a few clicks, our users could add world class drums to their productions, and have full control over them, almost as if they'd been at the recording session themselves. To begin with, we carefully hand selected each kit, piece by piece, to get just the right sound. Then we found just the right space to record each kit. A studio with the right mix of acoustics, gear, drummer and engineers to coax the best out of it, make it sing, and capture its essence.

Every kit was meticulously recorded with a variety of strokes sampled for each piece. Snares were recorded from above, and below. Kicks from the front, and from the rear near the beater. The sound coming back from the live room was recorded separately on stereo mics. All these signals are combined in the software to give you amazingly real live-sounding drums. If you want to hear these drums at their very best, the ADpak comes with a host of presets configured for specific drum sounds, or you can take full control and control every aspect of the individual drums. Dial up the room noise for some stadium rock epicness. Tune the toms to vibe with your keys. Turn up the overheads, add distortion, or reverb, change the attack...the possibilities are literally endless.

Custom Kit - Tama Starclassic

To put it simply, this kit rocks! The Studio Rock ADpak is based around a Japan-made Tama Starclassic kit, a world-class set of drums that can lend itself to pretty much any style of music. We added the extra option of a slightly shallower Pearl kick as well as a Pearl Signature Ferrone Snare in addition to the 14" Starclassic one.

We tested a load of cymbals, and eventually ended up including three different Sabian Crashes (17, 18 &19"), a 22" Paiste 3000 Ride, a little 10" Sabian HHX Legacy Splash, a 18" Sabian AAX China Cymbal for bright, crisp, explosive trashy hits, and a set of 14" Paiste Dark Crisp Hi Hats. Oh, and a LP Rock Ridge Rider Cowbell, for when you need more Cowbell.
