Deeply sampled with great detail and extra articulations, the drum kit is a beautiful sounding TAMA GRANSTAR rock kit. Two snares were chosen and perfectly tuned for maximum versatility: a LUDWIG BLACK MAGIC snare and a very special PEARL Steve Ferrone Signature snare. The cymbals are amazing vintage A and K ZILDJIAN Hats, crash and ride, with an extra PA MEINL crash. Claps, tambourine and cowbell let you add extra color and power to your drum tracks.
