Clavia releases a new batch of ddrum4 Mega Drumkits Signature Series for their ddrum4 electronic drum system. Four top session drummers contribute with their original acoustic drum kits recorded at the Galaxy studio in Belgium.

Clavia is pleased to announce yet another release of ddrum4 Mega Drumkits Signature Series drumkits for the ddrum4 electronic drum system. Four well known top session drummers have contributed with their drum sounds for the new Signature Series. The drummers are Simon Phillips, Dennis Chambers, Kenny Aronoff and Mel Gaynor. The recording sessions took place in one of Europe's biggest studios, the highly sophisticated Galaxy studio in Belgium, during the autumn of 2000.

The drummers use their own typical setup with drums and cymbals. It’s their tuning, their choice of drum heads etc. All sounds recorded are played by each individual drummer. From each session Clavia carefully selected and processed the sounds and tailored them to fit their ddrum4 drum system. By downloading these new Signature Series drumkits from the Clavia web site, ddrum4 owners are able to play and use the great drum sounds from these top drummers. As always, the ddrum4 Mega Drumkits Signature Series are free of charge when downloaded from www.clavia.se.

Specification ddrum4 signature kits

Each individual instrument in the Signature Series is built up by a vast number of samples to catch every nuance from the acoustic drum. Whether it’s a snare drum sound or tom-tom sound, each instrument will give you what you need throughout the whole dynamic range. The new Signature Series drumkits loaded into a ddrum4 takes the playing feel of the ddrum4 drum system to a higher level. The ddrum4 Signature Series drumkits are especially designed for drummers that appreciate a more acoustic feel from the ddrum4 drum system.

Thanks to the superb dynamic range and the fast triggering response of the ddrum4 system, the sound of the new ddrum4 Signature Series drumkits is much closer to acoustic drums than ever before. But as always, try it out yourself. Check out the new drum sounds at your music store and hear for yourself. You'll be surprised over how 'alive' your ddrum4 system will sound and feel.
