Abbey Road 70s Drums offers two meticulously crafted classic drum kits captured at the legendary Abbey Road Studios. Featuring the iconic Premier and Ludwig kits, this instrument captures the defining sounds of the Seventies while fitting seamlessly into a variety of modern music styles. Designed for use with the free Kontakt Player and the full Kontakt sampler, it delivers authentic drum tones with exceptional depth and character.

Recorded in Abbey Road’s renowned Studio Two, the Premier kit was captured in a controlled, deadened space to produce a tight and punchy sound ideal for genres like R&B and disco. In contrast, the Ludwig kit offers a spacious and powerful tone that recalls the classic rock drum sounds of the era. Both kits benefit from Abbey Road’s vintage microphones, the exclusive EMI TG mixing desk, analog tape machines, and other iconic outboard gear, resulting in a rich and genuine sonic experience.

With up to 34 velocity layers and multiple variation samples, Abbey Road 70s Drums provides nuanced dynamics and realism for both programmed beats and live MIDI performances. Multiple MIDI mappings accommodate various electronic drum setups, while separate vintage and modern microphone mixes allow for tonal flexibility. The intuitive interface leverages Kontakt’s advanced features, including detailed articulation controls and subtle randomization, to recreate the feel of a natural studio drum session.
