Yacht Drums is designed to work with 'Yacht Rock' type music, with bright sparkly cymbals and very short decays, done entirely with drum treatment. It's using wood tipped sticks, Taye drums with a wood Slingerland snare. This is the only Airwindows kit using a Zildjian Sweet Ride as a ride cymbal. Hats are actually a Paiste/Zildjian blend for just the right sizzle! To top it off, the primary snare is a tea-towel snare, literally. There's also an open/ringing snare option, but the teatowel snare is the go-to snare for this sound. Yacht Drums is $29.99.
Here are some simple beats using this drumkit.
Here are some more, this time using my free Pressure compressor plugin.
You can hear it on this demo track, Ocean Yachts.
This is the EXS24 track soloed, Yacht Drums Only.
Other Airwindows plugins used on this demo:
Acoustic Guitars- Sable
Wooden Flute- VariMu, LeadVox
Bass- P-type, tapewounds, fingers, BassKit
Hammond (Nord)- Sable
Rhodes (Nord)- Sable
Reverb- VerbHuge
Everything runs though API pre- mic or line. Overs on the 2-buss are caught by ADClip. There's no other buss processing, and no processing of any kind on the EXS drums track- it's dry and exactly as it comes off the EXS24 sampler.
If you can make this free bass guitar EXS24 instrument, FlatBass, work, you'll be able to use the drumkits. (They go in Library/Application Support/Logic/Sampler Instruments if you are using Logic 8)
