Purposeful Haze: Re-Create ‘60s Drum Sounds

https://drummagazine.com/purposeful-haze-re-create-60s-drum-sounds/

The 1960s were a golden era for music. Pop, soul, and rock were selling records like never before. For drummers, things started out rather subdued. But by the end of the decade there were hits with the aggressive pulse of the ’70s that was to come. Unlike disco, funk, and hard rock, early 1960s drummers took more of a back seat in the band and the song. If this type drum sound is appropriate for one of your future projects, the following outline of drum and recording gear from the era should help you get your groove on.

Freeware - Splash Sound Djembe VSTi Plugin

https://splashsound.org/djembe.html

We are pleased to introduce you to the first instrument from our new collection of free VST / AU plugins – Djembe. 

 Djembe is one of the most popular ethnic percussion instruments. For recording we used a 10-inch handmade mahogany djembe with a genuine leather membrane. 

 We recorded 3 microphone positions to maximum sound flexibility: The main condenser microphone capturing the vibrant membrane sounds, a dynamic microphone positioned opposite from the djembe’s resonator for depth, and condenser stereo pair for recording room’s acoustics 

 Each of the articulations (Bass tone, Open tone, Slap tone, Flam, Mute and Roll) is recorded in 4 levels of velocity and 5 layers of round robin.
