CLA Drums brings together the drum processing of Grammy winner Chris Lord-Alge, with dedicated settings for kick, snare, toms, overheads, room and cymbals.

Each drum track gets its own tailored processing, so every sound has its own focus and contributes strength and detail to the final mix. Five effects per track – bass, treble, compression, reverb and gate – each offer three modes. This brings old-school analogue drum sounds into modern productions, whether you are working with live recordings or with individual outputs from samplers and drum machines.
