The Drum Channel captures Eddie Kramer’s drum mixing chains in detail – for drum sounds in the style of Led Zeppelin, Hendrix and the Rolling Stones.

Eddie Kramer’s work with Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and the Rolling Stones says it all about his drum sound – from a huge, atmospheric Zep sound to a squashed Hendrix sound to the dirty sound of the Stones. Designed for multi-tracked drums, the plugin has optimised settings for kick, snare, toms, hi-hat, overheads and room mics. It offers character-filled compression for drum sounds of the 60s and 70s, a gate to clean up drums and tame ringing toms, finely tuned bass and treble controls and an FX send tailored to each drum. It can even add a vintage veneer to old-school analog electronic drums.
