''Bring the beloved sound of classic rock icons to your music productions! Introducing Icon Drums Classic Rock-the ultimate drum library for musicians and producers who demand the best drums for that Classic or even Modern Rock sound. Recorded in a world-class studio with legendary equipment, these samples deliver the punch, warmth, and character that define rock’s golden era. Transform your tracks with the timeless energy and tone of iconic drummers.
Every piece of Icon Drums Classic Rock is tweakable so that you can take the raw drums we engineered and make them perfect for your music.
You don’t need any extra plugins, as Icon comes with a complete mixer. Each channel has EQ, compression, a transient designer, and saturation. We even made sure to include reverb.
No corners were cut creating Icon Drums Classic Rock. Aside from selecting top-of-the-line drums, we made sure to use the industry-standard microphones and mic-pres you would expect of a serious drum recording.
We also captured the famous Glyn Johns overhead microphone technique to achieve that classic, overall kit sound. This technique can be heard on many of the projects he engineered, from the Kinks, the Who, to Led Zeppelin, and The Rolling Stones.
On top of that, there is a master section on the Mixer page where you can do parallel compression, add tape saturation, or use Pultec-Style EQ and SSL-Style bus compression. Allowing you to blend old-school engineering with modern-day mixing.
Additionally, you can load your own Kick or Snare one-shot samples right into Icon to make the most out of your drum sound. We even included a bunch of processed one-shots right in Icon itself that you can choose from.
Finally, Icon Drums Classic Rock will work well with your electronic drum kit and if you need to make some tweaks, MIDI remapping is quick and easy.''

Thanks 🤝

[@audiotoolshed]

Welcome 👍

[@BigMTBrain]

Woof! That face in the thumbnail speaks all. 😂

[@axelfoley1768]

IK Multimedia Modo Drums for me.

[@audiotoolshed]

Never used those!

[@R74-b7p]

Modo drums are awesome! I use them and Bdf 3!

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

What do you think of the SPL Big plugin at PA?

[@c.s.8192]

If i export the Midimap and reimport it, the Map is wrong???

[@CloudburstStudio]

Spectre has potential to have some really good stuff but I think they need a better programming team. I got all their stuff when I bought the Spencer Sotelo course. Element: Bass is a little clunky, cock blocker sometimes decides it just doesn’t want to work, Singularity I couldn’t even get to work 😂😅

[@R74-b7p]

Bdf 3 for me. The black album library is killer.

[@marsrivers]

Addictive drums forever!

[@audiotoolshed]

I prefer Superior Drummer ^^

[@marsrivers]

@audiotoolshed tastes are tastes my friend. Always better a good drumer bangging the drums

[@NovianLeVanMusic]

@@audiotoolshedHave you tried BFD3? I’ve heard a few people say it’s the best out there, which surprises me considering how much more expensive and seemingly popular SD4 is.

[@audiotoolshed]

@marsrivers absolutely! And i agree with the drummer comment, being a drummer myself.

[@audiotoolshed]

@NovianLeVanMusic yeah BFD is really good as well. Fanboys will be the loudest usually. The best is ofcourse always relative, comes down to preference.

[@TheNoticer12]

Doesnt do anything SD3 doesnt do for me with more realism and control.

[@audiotoolshed]

Yeah same. Basic sounds are good, but really needs some polish imo. Superior Drummer is more involved to use properly though, but the realism of that one is awesome.

[@R74-b7p]

I'd never buy anything from Glenn! I'd like to say how I really feel about Glenn, but the youtube overlords wouldn't like it! I always like your reviews it's always an honest review.

[@IntheDAW]

very honest review! honestly i had a huge issue with his bass mixing plugin its super super buggy and can really crash higher end graphics cards. btw why the weird hard cuts at the end of every video? amazing video but the hard cuts always leave me wondering why lol.

[@Jazzguitar00]

SD3 and SDX expansions have not been surpassed. This doesn't stand a chance either.
