The Kit

Vintage Gretsch "Stop Sign" kit

For this expansion we picked a vintage Gretsch "Stop Sign" kit. This 6 ply kit from the '70s produces a well-rounded sound with a lot of punch and great sustain, and nicely tuneable skins.

For snares, we've spoiled you with a beautiful Craviotto Custom Shop snare and an ultra-rare Tama Bell Brass snare that is pretty much the holy grail of snare drums. This Tama snare, known in the industry as "the Terminator" featured on pretty much every huge rock hit of the '80s and '90s, and now we captured it in it's spiritual home for you to use in your productions.

The studio

Fairfax Recordings

Los Angeles

Fairfax Recordings, A.K.A. Sound City... this place is so important to the history of Rock and Roll that Dave Grohl directed a feature-length documentary about it. Nirvana recorded "Nevermind" there in 1990, but since 1969, this one legendary room has pumped out an unbelievable stream of seminal rock albums; Pat Benetar, Metallica, Guns'n'Roses, Slayer, Tool, Rage Against the Machine, the list goes on and on.
