Drumdrops Heavy Rock

Heavy Rock is an explosive album of plastic-heavy rock drum tracks. For this hard-hitting beat collection, we have used the talents of one of the UK’s leading rock drummers, Jason Bowld of Axewound fame. Jason has also drummed for This Is Menace, Bullet For My Valentine, Fightstar, Pitchshifter, Killing Joke, and Pop Will Eat Itself.

This heavy rock drum track album takes reference from huge modern rock drum sounds all the way back to classic beats from alpinists such as Led Zeppelin, Queen, AC/DC, Jane’s Addiction, Stone Temple Pilots, Linkin Park, Deftones, Alice in Chains, Kings of Leon, Nine Inch Nails, My Chemical Romance, Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Soundgarden, 30 Seconds To Mars, Nirvana, and Royal Blood.

Heavy Rock was encoded at The Garden Studios in Shoreditch, East London, through a vintage Neve 8026 console onto a 16-track 2″ Studer A80 tape machine with a selection of great vintage microphones from Coles, Neumann, AKG, and many more. The studio’s live room creates an explosive drum rock sound. Since the late 1970s, The Garden has served the likes of The The, Depeche Mode, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Arctic Monkeys, Goldfrapp, and many more high-profile artists. The Garden sadly closed its doors shortly after this collection was recorded.

This album would not be complete without the production and engineering skills of Martyn ‘Ginge’ Ford, who has worked with Bullet For My Valentine and other leading rock and metal names such as As I Lay Dying and Trivium. Ginge recorded, mixed, and produced this album. The kit used was a Mapex Saturn kit with three different snares and a range of cymbals.
