The Examiner reports at NAMM 2010
Mark Cope’s Report features news on EpiK DrumS: A Ken Scott Collection as part of the reporter’s NAMM experience, here are quotes from the article:
“The NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants started Thursday and hit the ground running…One item that was fascinating was the virtual drum kit is called “EpiK DrumS-A Ken Scott Collection,” made by a company called Sonic Reality. What the Epik DrumS represents is a virtual instrument/plug-in for drum kits and grooves with the authentic sound and feel of timeless classic albums. EpiK Drums features drum kits and grooves of five of the world’s best drummers all recorded and mixed by Ken Scott. In this first massive volume from the Ken Scott Collection, he has recreated the drum sounds in the style of multi-track studio sessions he recorded with David Bowie, Supertramp, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Dixie Dregs, Missing Persons, Elton John, and the Beatles. These authentic classic sounds were achieved by using the same rare recording equipment, drum kits, percussion, original recording studios like Abbey Road. Along with the expert technical assistance from Ross Garfield “The Drum Doctor”, advanced programming by Sonic Reality and collaboration with original legendary drummers Billy Cobham, Terry Bozzio, Rod Morgenstein, Woody Woodmansey, and Bob Siebenberg. All together it’s one of the most EPIK productions ever done for a software drum and groove instrument. This allows you, a guitarist, bassist, or keyboard player to play along with these drummers and create your own sound.” – Mark Cope, Examiner
