The Real 707

The Real 707 is an acoustic take on the plastic 707 drum machine. Here are 100 loops and one shots inspired by the sounds of the original 707 but now with the human and acoustic characteristics of a real drum kit. Not being limited to a 16 step sequencer has also given room for more rhythmic possibilities within the groove that reflect modern electronic production.

Produced by Matt E Williams at his studio in London this pack was inspired after hearing a cymbal stack and noticing its resemblance to an electronic clap sound. The rest of the kit was with built with vintage and modern Zildjian cymbals, low tuned Tama snare drum, and a Tama Starclassic Maple kit. Microphones used were : Kick – AKG D112, Speaker driver ,Snare – Sennheiser MD 441, Toms – Calrec CM1050’, Floor Tom – Neumann U87, Overheads – Beyerdynamic M160, Hihat/ Ride – AKG C451’s
