Spitfire Audio The Grange (Digital product)

The Grange by Spitfire Audio is an exhaustively produced drum library that picks up where legendary bands left off, capturing the spirit and sonic character of rock's most iconic drummers and the historic Headley Grange studio. This product merges vintage analog warmth with modern sampling technology to deliver an unparalleled drum experience.

Recorded at the famous Headley Grange, a Victorian workhouse turned legendary studio in Hampshire, England, The Grange features three world-renowned drummers: Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Roger Taylor (Queen), and Andy Gangadeen (Massive Attack, Chase & Status). Each drummer's kit is deeply multi-sampled, capturing every nuance, from nuanced hits to powerful grooves.

The studio itself is steeped in rock history, known for its unique acoustic spaces and the iconic stairwell reverb famously used on Led Zeppelin tracks. This environment brings a distinct sonic character and authenticity to the recordings.

• Multi-sampled drum kits from three legendary drummers, each with their unique style and sound.
• A vast library of thousands of loops including grooves, fills, rolls, and breaks, all playable and tempo-synced.
• Multiple mix options such as Tight, Mid, Epic, and Super Tight (exclusive to Andy Gangadeen’s kit) along with various stereo perspectives to shape the room’s ambiance.
• High-quality analog recording chain featuring vintage Neve and API preamps, rare microphones, and 2-inch Studer tape for warm, rich sound.
• An intuitive user interface designed for the free Kontakt Player, featuring Kickstart engine for seamless percussive mapping and a loop browser to quickly find and sync grooves.

The Grange is perfect for producers seeking to infuse their music with the energy and authenticity of rock’s greatest drummers recorded in a space with legendary acoustics. Whether for rock, pop, or hybrid genres, this library delivers powerful, characterful drum sounds ready to inspire.
