DRUMMERS

Because your performance is often the difference between a good recording and a great one you deserve the best which is why we use the Roland TD20KX.

Micing up drums is expensive and time consuming and a great sound often requires more space than many studios can offer. This can often give unpredictable results, cause bleed in other microphones, and be a source of fatigue hindering a session early on.

Rolands TD20 is not any average digital kit. It is the most sophisticated trigger kit available today and is used by some of the worlds biggest recording studios everyday on some of the most successful recordings of the last few years.

The TD20 is like an Acoustic Kit in everyway with Remo Silent Heads and Pearl Hardware. It plays like an Acoustic kit with you able to do Everything an Acoustic kit can with the added bonus you have a choice of 200 of the worlds finest instruments and the abillity to fully customise your kit. But it dosnt end there. The Roland TD20 can offer many other purcussive sounds ranging from african drums and Cajons, to? Old Skool 808s and breakbeat effects.

We are also able to capture an entire performance separate to the actual Kit using MIDI. This allows a change of Kit sound well after recording has finished. It also allows minor corrections to be made and even for the perfect take to be repeated for double tracking.

We also have a Yamaha DTX to expand your kit further than ever before.

PIANISTS

Our keyboard system is based around the tried and tested KORG Triton Studio 88. This superb full sized, piano weighted? keyboard workstation has a massive variety of stunning 24 bit 48k sounds including several of the highest quality steinway acoustic pianos.
