Drummer Denny SeiwellL and Guitarist Laurence Juber were  both members of Paul McCartney and Wings.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"The Beatles had a profound impact on me, as they did for millions of  others\" said Fab Four producer DOUG ROGERS, \"and they were the initial  influence for my fascination with sounds. They were creative geniuses  that never rested on their laurels, always producing exciting new music  and sounds with each new record, much of it ground-breaking! Putting  this project together took well over a year of research, equipment  procurement (much of it from collectors), and putting together a team  that could pull off such a feat; but it was a labor of love for us all,  and we feel the result is truly worth it.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e No expense was spared finding the same kind of period instruments and  rare authentic EMI and other recording equipment the Beatles used to  create their sounds to produce this collection, much of which,  ironically, will end up in EastWest Studios, where the Beach Boys \"Pet  Sounds\" was recorded, the inspiration for the Beatles \"Sgt. Pepper's  Lonely Hearts Club Band\" album, according to Paul McCartney.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Well over a million dollars worth of instruments, amplifiers,  microphones, recording desks (including very rare EMI REDD tube and  TG12345 desks), outboard equipment (including Fairchild limiters and EMI  RS124 modified Altec compressors), and Studer J-37 tube multi-tracks  were used in this production. If you are a film\/tv\/game composer, or a  musician\/producer looking for sounds not found in other collections,  this is it. Blending these unique and sometimes bizarre sounds with  today's music should enable you to produce something truly fab!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eInstruments\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFab FourGuitars (some costing over $200,000 each) played by  LAURENCE JUBER (Paul McCartney and Wings) include Gretsch Firebird  (1959), Gretsch Tennessean (1963), Rickenbacker 360-12 (1965), Martin  D-28 (1966), Fender Stratocaster (1956), Epiphone Casino (1965), Fender  Telecaster (1951), Gibson SG (1960), Les Paul Goldtop (1957), Gibson  J200 (1966), Hofner 500 Bass (1963) and Rickenbacker 4001S Bass (1964).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFab FourGuitars were sampled with up and down strokes, multiple velocities and picking styles, some with chords and effects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFab FourMost of the sounds would be impossible to create without  all of the above equipment. For example, the \"revostortion\" guitar sound  was created by feeding a Epiphone Casino guitar into one EMI REDD 47  preamp, and the output into a second EMI REDD 47 preamp, which is  exactly how it was created originally by the EMI\/Abbey Road engineers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFab FourDrums played by DENNY SEIWELL (Paul McCartney and Wings)  include a rare 1960 Ludwig downbeat kit with Zildjian cymbals (snare 5 x  14\/toms 9 x 13\/16 x 16\/kick 22 x 14\/zildjan 20\" crash ride\/18\" crash  medium\/14\" Hi-Hat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFab FourDrums are all multi-sampled with up to 16 velocity layers,  left and right hand.
