Toontrack Stories SDX

Product Description

Stories SDX is a sound library for Superior Drummer 3 featuring six drum kits and a wide range of percussion, recorded by producer, engineer, and mixer Frank Filipetti at Power Station New England. The kits were chosen to reflect a cross-section of his fifty-year career. Three room ambiences and a consistent 5.0 setup deliver everything from big and ambient to tight and intimate.

• Six drum kits and an extensive collection of percussion instruments
• Recorded at Power Station New England by Frank Filipetti, seven-time Grammy Award winner
• Three room ambiences: the main room and two isolation booths of different sizes
• All kits and percussion recorded with five additional room microphones for stereo up to 5.0 surround
• Sampled with sticks throughout, plus snares on/off, rods, and mallets for selected kits
• A wide selection of mix-ready presets by both Filipetti and Toontrack's sound designers
• MIDI for every kit plus a general collection of percussion patterns

A career in six kits

Frank Filipetti has shaped the sound of everything from Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is" and The Bangles' "Eternal Flame" to Carly Simon, James Taylor, Broadway productions, and film scores. Seven Grammy Awards and ten nominations later, the kits in this expansion are hand-picked to cover the breadth of his catalog.

Three rooms, one cross-section

The recording was made in both the main room and two isolation booths of different sizes at Power Station New England. The room ambience therefore spans the full range, from ambient and big to tight and subdued. The surround mic setup was kept consistent between the rooms, letting you blend them freely.

Who It's For

The breadth makes this library useful well beyond a single genre. If you need both a big pop room sound and a restrained, close drum sound in the same production, plus matching percussion, Stories SDX covers both without switching libraries.
