#WEST COAST DRUM KIT FL STUDIO PLUS#
Any drum from any kit can be selected to create a custom kit, plus there are 6 additional snare drums to choose from. Repetition samples were recorded for everything as well as extreme dynamics and three mic positions for drums (close + room, or close + compressed room) to dial in the desired sound and an ultra-realistic performance. Top vintage and modern gear from Neve, Neumann, Telefunken, AKG, Manley, Fairchild, Royer, Chandler and Meitner were employed for a legendary sound. The drums for Ministry Of Rock 2 were recorded in EASTWEST Studio 1 on three large rock kits from DW, Gretsch, and Ludwig, along with 6 additional snares.
Produced by Nick Phoenix and recorded at the Legendary EASTWEST Studios by Phoenix, Doug Rogers, and Rhys Moody, Ministry Of Rock 2 features some of the industries top players like Shane Gibson, guitarist with KoRn/Stork/Schwarzenator Greg Suran, guitarist with Goo Goo Dolls/Avril Lavigne/Glee Doug Rappaport, guitartist with Edgar Winter/Potent and Tal Bergman, drummer with Billy Idol, LL Cool J, Rod Stewart, Terence Trent Darby, Joe Zawinul. The 57 gigabyte collection features LIVE technology that enables multi-sampled drums to sound like a live performance. The articulations and programming were all reverse engineered from actual performances. Ministry Of Rock 2 was put together with one goal in mind: to create a virtual (software) instrument capable of producing sounds that could actually produce a hit record or film score without any live drum, bass, or guitar overdubs.
