Renowned for his work with B.B. King, Buddy Guy, and Albert King among others, Tony's drumming was captured over four days at Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee.

The recording team using gear from the likes of API, Neve, SSL, Neumann, Fairchild, Vintech, DW Fearn, AEA, and more. Select kick and snare samples were tracked to a Studer 827 two-inch analog tape machine. Users will able to optionally trigger select samples with the highly desirable effect of tape compression. Complemented by a high-definition audio engine, each sample translates the session's realism and detail to any modern digital audio workstation.

Project recording engineer Pete Matthews says:

"I've done a lot of blues and soul records, and when it comes to drummers, Tony is the cream of the crop. I've never been a part of a project with this level of detail, and in the end, we pulled out all the stops to replicate the nuanced playing of working in the studio with a real drummer."

The recordings faithfully acquire Coleman's maple Mapex Saturn series kit, complete with hand-selected Sabian cymbals. Drum parts can be adapted to any project by way of the instrument’s editing and mixing capabilities. Users can adjust pitch, envelope, EQ, and filter settings for each drum or cymbal and an all-new mixer provides per-part level, panning, and ambiance control. Post-processing effects include compression, reverb and EQ.

Tony Coleman Drums by Sonivox will be available in AU, VST, and AAX formats with a list price of $199.99.
