What's included
Blue Oyster (ADpak)
The Sound of Classic Rock
To get those glorious Led Zeppelin and John Bonham-inspired drum sounds, XLN Audio went straight to the source: The Ludwig Blue Oyster kit. Our Blue Oyster kit includes production-ready presets that provide instant access to vintage and modern production techniques.
Size does matter! This ADpak is inspired by the setup of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham. The big sizes, coated heads, and characteristic tuning give you a clear and thunderous drum sound that is reminiscent of the late 60s.
The included presets provide instant access to inspiring sounds ranging from clean and pristine to distorted and heavily processed. Use presets as-is or easily tweak them to achieve a unique sound that's exactly right for your music.
