Toontrack Area 33 – Origin SDX + MIDI

For this SDX, the team returned to Fredrik Thordendal’s studio 33 in Stockholm, Sweden. A total of five sets were recorded, each representing a key branch in the lineage of classic hard rock and heavy metal from the late 1960s to the 1980s. 

With two recorded tom configurations for each kit—one open and one muted—this SDX covers every blind spot in between, giving you the source material to build genre-transcending drum mixes from awesome and thunderous to muted, tight, and fast drums for any style.
