🎙️ The Recordings

We captured a veteran pro drummer performing on a vintage jazz drum kit featuring:

• 🥁 Leedy & Ludwig 1953 Broadway Model snare

• 🥁 Ludwig Jazz-ette bass drum

• 🥁 Rare Istanbul & Zildjian cymbals

Every hit was recorded through legendary studio gear, including Neumann U47 tube mics, RCA DX, Altec microphones, vintage API preamps, and authentic Pultec EQs — ensuring rich, warm tones full of character.
