The King of Rock

CLA recorded multiple world-class drumkits at OCEAN studios in Burbank. He then mixed all the drums in his classic style in his LA mix room using the same processing chains that you’ve heard on all of his records. The result? The fattest, punchiest, most mix-ready drum sounds you've ever heard.

When I was in college I didn't have a drum kit. There was no way for me to play or record drums… Now that I have my own studio and record drums in lots of great spaces, I still use Trigger to make my drums sound their best. It's truly the ultimate equalizer.

… As a set of high-quality samples for drum replacement these are the win. There are 3 separate files for each sample… The kicks are great… The toms are spectacular… The snares are excellent.

Easy to use. Great drum sounds. I add a duplicate track and mix half natural sound and half trigger sound. Makes the drums sound amazing!

Trigger 2 is the best drum replacement plugin. It's a staple in any serious rock mixer's arsenal.

Using SSD5 mainly with my E-Drums (Alesis Crimson II). Sound quality is amazing and the articulations are great. Overall it does a great job, and especially the mapping that matches my E-Drum.

It's really impressive how good those samples sit in the mix just by loading them into your session and without even touching an EQ or compression. If you're doing a lot of rock, pop, metal — modern stuff where you need punchy, in-your-face drums — Steven Slate Drums 5 won't disappoint you.

... I have used Trigger myself the last few years and I'm really pleased with the result.
