Fairfax Vol. 2

  • Warm, Punchy, Old-School American Drums
  • For rock, folk, indie, and anything else you throw it at
$79.00

Seasoned, well-rounded drums that sit well in any mix

Big hair and tight jeans are all well and good, but for this expansion we wanted to lean into the warmer, folkier, dare-we-say mellower side of the Sound City live room.

Recorded through vintage gear for unmistakable warmth

The Kit

Vintage Gretsch "Round Badge" kit

The combination of maple and gum wood in the shells in this 1960's three-ply Gretsch "Round Badge" kit in near mint condition gives the kit a warm and punchy sound with plenty of rich dark character.

Matched with two great vintage Ludwig snares you end up with a very versatile kit that just pops out of your production.

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.
