Producer annex engineer Nick Raskulinecz (Rush, Foo Fighters, Alice In Chains) helped to bring the authentic sound of Neil Peart’s \"Snakes and Arrows\" custom DW kit into the digital domain.

With advanced features such as deep level dynamics, humanized random alternating hits, discrete multiple mic mixing and more, this deluxe sampled kit is an ultra-realistic recreation of Neil Peart’s actual acoustic set as used live on tour and in the studio.

Now e-drummers, keyboardists and composers can play rock drum samples with the iconic signature sound of drum legend Neil Peart and have a world-class, hard-hitting drum kit suitable for many styles of music. Producer Nick Raskulinecz engineered the sample sessions with Neve mic preamps and deluxe vintage tube mics provided by Ocean Way Recording’s Classic Rentals in LA. Multiple room positions and ambient channels are provided for one of the most elaborate sampled drum kits ever.

\'The Kit\' features eight toms, a vast array of Sabian cymbals including three chinas, four crashes, three splashes, a ride, two snares, massive kicks, and some percussion such as cowbells.

It comes mapped in GM, iMap™, V-Drum and a Custom Map mode to be controlled by any electronic drum kit. It includes both discrete mic mixing and album-quality presets right out of the box for instant gratification.

Estimated street price is $ 149. Downloadable versions are available from esoundz.com.
