As part of the Ken Scott Collection Series, Sonic Reality is proud to announce "EpiK DrumS - A Ken Scott Collection". The product is a massive virtual instrument/plug-in for drum kits and grooves with the authentic sound and feel of classic rock records. It features five of the world's best drummers recorded by legendary producer/engineer Ken Scott. In EpiK DrumS, Ken recreated the drum sounds of multitrack studio sessions he recorded with David Bowie, Supertramp, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Dixie Dregs, Missing Persons, Elton John, and The Beatles. Authentic classic drum sounds were achieved from using the same rare recording equipment; the same instruments; expert technical assistance from Ross Garfield "The Drum Doctor"; advanced sound development by Sonic Reality; and collaboration with the original drummers Bill Cobham, Terry Bozzio, Woody Woodmansey, Bob Siebenberg, and Rod Morgenstein.
