Meet the Roots SDX for Superior Drummer 2.0, likely one of the world’s most comprehensive drum sample libraries ever recorded.

The Neve 8078 was the last of the \"80 series\" hand-wired analogue mixing consoles designed and manufactured by Neve for high-end recording studios during the 1970s. These consoles are considered by many experts to be the Rolls Royce of desks and are highly sought after. Each console took several months to build using over 2,500 hours of highly skilled labor and top quality components. It would now be uneconomic to manufacture such equipment to this standard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal Preamps - Shadow Hills Gamma (nickel transformer) - Used on the toms, similar to api, neve style pres, but have variable (nickel, steel), or discrete output transformers. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRCA OP-6 - holy grail tube preamp from the '30s with 95 db of gain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeumann U47\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRCA 44\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNS-10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShure SM57\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAKG 451\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAKG C12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSAX GML (Sheffield audio labs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAEA 88\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTelefunken 251\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColes 4038\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eELAM 201\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeumann M50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeumann 582\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAKG D19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eInstruments:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCymbal Set 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePos1: 22\" K Zildjian Constantinople Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePos2: Bosphorus Ferit Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePos3: 22\" K Zildjian Constantinople Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePos4: 22\" Sabian HHX Manhattan Ride\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCymbal Set 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePos1: 20\" Zildjian Sound Effects Oriental Crash of Doom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePos2: 18\" Paiste Fast Crash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePos4: 20\" Sabian Handhammered HHX Manhattan Ride\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHI-Hat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14\" Masterworks Meritamon Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14\" Zildjian K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBass Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18\" Pearl Reference Series with closed heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e22\" Gretsch USA Custom Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e22\" Ludwig Maple Psychedelic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e22\" Damped Ludwig Maple Psychedelic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28\" Camco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSnare Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePearl 50th anniversary Solid Maple Shell (#3 of 100 ever made)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12\" Kaplinger Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14x5.5\" Ludwig Wood 1964\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14x5.5\" Damped Ludwig Wood 1964\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14x6.5\" Yamaha Elvin Jones Signature Series Flat wooden rims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14x7\" Leedy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14x7\" Leedy Damped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14x3.5\" Leedy picollo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10\" Gretsch USA Custom Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12\" \u0026amp; 14\" Pearl Reference Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16\" Slingerland Radio king\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10\" Gretsch USA Custom Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12\" Gretsch Stop Sign Badge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14\" \u0026amp; 16\" Gretch USA Custom Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14\" Rogers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12\" Maple Psychedelic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16\" Maple Psychedelic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18\" Ludwig Classic Maple (New)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14\" Muted Rogers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12\" Maple Psychedelic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16\" Maple Psychedelic \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18\" Ludwig Classic Maple (New)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Toontrack Plugins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449468153959,"sku":"23389","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/toontrack_roots_sticks_sdx_3c24476e-07df-4418-949c-4be6b41f7325.jpg?v=1787089068","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/toontrack-roots-sdx-sticks-retail-box","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
