RUSH - Neil Peart Drum Kit Sample Collection From Sonic Reality
April 4, 2008, 16 years ago
RUSH tribute site Power Windows reports:
"According to the KVR audio forum, a company called Sonic Reality recently completed a Neil Peart drum sampling session, engineered by Nick Raskulinecz.
It appears the session started on March 18th in Los Angeles, and the final product is scheduled to be released by the end of 2008.
The end result of this project will be a Neil Peart Studio Profile, most likely a complete sample of Neil's Snakes & Arrows DW kit and his V-drum sounds - and possibly Neil Peart loops.
Sonic Reality has produced other Studio Profiles on such drummers as CHEAP TRICK's Bun E. Carlos and YES/EARTHWORKS/KING CRIMSON drummer Bill Bruford.
If you're curious about what this all means, you can basically buy professionally-recorded sampled sounds of drummers that you can use with music software on a computer - or plug these samples into keyboards or electronic drums. Studio Profiles cost around $79.00..." - AndrewOlson.com
