Native Instruments Abbey Road 70s Drums: Interview With Designer Paul Mauer, Part One Of Three

While gigging in sunny Berlin, Gearwire's Gino Robair decided to pay a visit to the goof folks at Native Instruments. Exhibiting that classic German hospitality, they were more than happy to have Gino for tea, so long as they got to discuss the new Native Instruments Abbey Road 70s Drums sample instrument collection. Gino was only too happy to oblige!

Speaking of tea, this drum collection is so complete as to include extras like optional Glyn Johns technique overhead mics, muted cowbells, lots of snare hit options, and even the option to throw some virtual tea-towels over the kit a la Sir George Martin.

I'll blow anyone who can get the samples (great!) out of the Kontakt engine (CRAP) and into the EZDrummer engine (fantastic).

@samuelkeshon That's not the point. The point is that you should never have to sit there for a few hours dialing in midi grooves by hand, everyone is not a keyboard drummer extraordinaire nor does everyone want to be. Super Drummer is a lot more well-rounded, expandable and self contained.

Besides, I think these 70's kits' Supraphonic snares tend to be a little too "Fool in the Rain" and not enough "Moby Dick". The vintage rock ezx seems to be the only one to get a good early Bonham/Van Halen

@bilbomarks It sounds like he is a technician rather than spokesperson and its either nerves or over excitement but at least he is spot on with the keyboard drums.
