XLN Audio AD2: Fairfax Vol. 1 Beefy American Rock Drums [download]

When the decision was made by XLN Audio to record the ultimate modern rock drums, one studio immediately came to mind: Fairfax Recordings.

This Los Angeles studio (formerly known as Sound City) has been the birthplace of so many landmark albums, the discography reads like a "Greatest Hits of Rock!" The fully restored studio is now privately held cannot be rented by the public, but with this ADpak you can access its incredible drum sounds.Since 1969, this unassuming Los Angeles facility has been using the well-maintained vintage gear, the irreplaceable microphones, and the room itself with first-rate results, and XLN thinks it shows in their end result!Fairfax Vol.

1 features a vintage Gretsch "Stop Sign" kit with a Craviotto Custom Shop snare and an ultra-rare Tama Bell Brass snare (nicknamed "the Terminator").

The ADpak includes 31 professionally-designed presets that deliver beefy, punchy, muscular drums—the kind of sounds that make American rock great.

If you need further inspiration, XLN Audio's American Rock MIDIpak has tons of professionally played beats (all based on great rock songs) to get you started.
