I’ve always been a fan of ambient drum sounds, from the classic “one-mic” ’60s recordings of Ringo and company to the nuclear test-blast snare drums of the ’80s. UK company Perfectionear obviously shares my enthusiasm, as their new drum sample CD offers room ambience in abundance. The variety of sounds is large, ranging from tight, controlled kits to explosive, viciously compressed ambient bashes that shake the rafters. Throughout, the drum sound is fairly traditional and natural. The samples were taken from two drum kits — a vintage Ludwig set and a modern Yamaha kit — with Zildjian and Paiste cymbals. The sounds were simultaneously recorded from several different mic positions, so you get close, medium, and very ambient versions of the same recordings, which can be layered and mixed to taste.
