[@owenevans6615]

Hi Ash, Damian Keyes mentioned you in one of his posts. Great drumming by the way! I was wondering if you could tell me where I can purchase a selection of drumless tracks. Many thanks. Regards Owen Evans.

[@Audientworld]

Hey Owen, thanks for commenting! It's probably best to give Ash a direct message on his Instagram, but I believe he may have tracks available to purchase on his website ashsoan.com

[@davidkey6623]

What happened to part 2?

[@Audientworld]

David Key it's coming back soon! Having to make some adjustments to it. Sorry about that!

[@the-matrix-has-you]

He is using 4x 500 format 1073 preamps... and UA Apollo and he has your ASP880 for toms and snares probably and you are proud of it I dont get it... I am not saying UA is better I hate UA Apollo its just too colorful but I think you get the idea...

[@Audientworld]

Ash goes over his setup in the next video, and explains how he uses everything. We are proud that he uses our gear, but these videos are about more than just that, we want to give people an inside look into an amazing musician and hopefully inspire people along the way 😊
