Billy Cobham Drums brings the iconic sounds and grooves of legendary jazz-fusion drummer Billy Cobham directly to your productions. This high-definition SampleTank instrument collection features over 2,000 meticulously recorded drum samples, totaling more than 2 gigabytes of content. The library includes more than 400 authentic audio grooves performed by Cobham, whose work with the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Miles Davis has influenced countless musicians across genres. Every detail of his unique style is captured to deliver a deeply expressive and dynamic drum experience.

Recorded by renowned producer-engineer Ken Scott at Long View Farm Studio, the sessions used a classic Fibes clear-shell drum kit and premium microphones to ensure supreme sound quality. The recording setup mirrored that of the legendary Mahavishnu Orchestra album "Birds of Fire," providing unmatched authenticity. The kit is available as a full instrument or broken down into individual components such as kick drums, snares, toms, hi-hats, and cymbals. This allows tailored processing and mixing of each element within SampleTank, giving you full creative control over your drum sound.

In addition to the extensive kit samples, Billy Cobham Drums includes 14 groove-based SampleTank instruments inspired by Cobham's favorite Mahavishnu Orchestra tracks. These grooves can be tempo-adjusted without pitch alteration thanks to SampleTank's stretch engine, making them easy to integrate into any project. The drum sounds suit a wide range of music styles including jazz fusion, funk, rock, pop, hip hop, and blues. The library’s flexible mapping allows combining it with other drum kits to create hybrid setups, ensuring this collection delivers audiophile-grade drum tracks with exceptional expression and nuance.
