Phil Spector / solo John Lennon drum sound

[WJamesM]

Hi, I’m looking for some advice. I’m looking for drum software and am currently leaning toward Superior Drummer. The drum sound I’m after is probably best described as close, dry, paper-y SpectorSoloLennon. Like this: John Lennon – How?

I realize that this sound is very dependent on the player, the room, the kit, the mics, the mic positions, the outboard processing, Spector’s frame of mind . . . but I’m wondering if any of you would recommend any one particular Expansion Pack that might get me roughly into this ballpark as a start?

Cheers,

James

It doesn’t sound like you would really need an SDX to achieve this sound. The core library would be more than capable of handling this. at most, you might need a small ambient drum room reverb within your DAW. However, impulse responses are rather common these days.

UK pop EZX can do the job or with some layering

or tra country ezx for a special snare and Spector preset

The Core library in SD3 can handle this without any need for expansions or layering. As well, you have greater control over the mixer channels, effects and processing.

Thanks guys. I think I’m just going to sell a guitar and take the plunge on SD3. I started out years ago as a drummer and am afraid that after awhile I might want to tweak & manipulate my beats beyond what EZX will allow me to do.

Let me know when you do. I, along with many others in the forum, can give you a hand to help you fast track your way through and come up with the sound you’re after.
