01Overview

This expansion brings drum sounds that Chris Lord-Alge recorded at OCEAN studios in Burbank and mixed in his own LA mix room. The pack includes 12 snares, 11 kicks and 5 toms. Steven Slate Drums says the sounds carry the processing chains heard on Lord-Alge's records. It loads into the TRIGGER 2 drum replacer and the SSD Only Player, so producers working in those tools can draw on the set without a separate workflow.

Chris Lord-Alge Drum Sound and Character

The expansion is built around drums captured in 2012 at OCEAN studios in Burbank. Steven Slate Drums says Lord-Alge mixed these kits using the same processing chains found on his records. The developer also notes that a sample layer of Lord-Alge's SONY reverb unit was printed onto the kicks and snares.

The result is a set of drums meant to sit in a mix with minimal additional processing. The developer describes the sounds as full and punchy, and the character is the classic CLA sound the expansion is named for.

Snares, Kicks and Toms in TRIGGER 2

The pack contains 12 snares, 11 kicks and 5 toms. The snares include multiple articulations, which gives you more than one playing style to choose from within the same kit.

Because the sounds are designed to work directly with TRIGGER 2 and SSD Only Player, you can audition and place them without converting or re-mapping files. TRIGGER 2 is required to use this expansion.
