The SoundIron David Oliver’s Drum Kit brings the iconic 1980s Pearl DLX drumset into the modern era as an instrument plugin, offering unmatched realism and customization for any musical genre. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this deeply sampled kit was handpicked and performed by renowned British instrumentalist and media composer David Oliver. Known for its versatility, the Pearl DLX, celebrated by Jazz legend Art Blakey, delivers a sound that transcends musical boundaries. From its punchy 18-inch kick to the crisp sounds of the 12-inch rack tom and 14-inch floor tom, this kit was designed to cater to a wide range of expressive drumming techniques, capturing everything from the softest whispers to the most powerful beats.
Accompanying the drums, an extensive collection of cymbals including mostly Zildjian along with select Sabian, Paiste, and Wuhan varieties adds to the kit’s expressive range. Unique hi-hats, custom jazz and rock rides, and a variety of crashes and splashes have been carefully selected for their rich character. Notably, a custom 20-inch Sabian crash ride, modified by artisan cymbal maker Dave Collingwood, offers a tonally exotic accent unique to this set. With heads from Evans and Remo and a meticulously recorded sound at The Whitehouse Studios in the UK using high-end mics like Blue Dragonfly and Neumann TLM 103s, David Oliver’s Drum Kit is poised to deliver your perfect sound, enabling a seamless blend of traditional and contemporary drumming in jazz, rock, pop, and beyond.
