Decades Of Records

Bendeth has been shaping sound for almost 5 decades.

Late 90s radio rock with Vertical Horizon and Bruce Hornsby. The 2000s explosion of emo and post-hardcore. The 2010s rise of modern metalcore and alternative metal.

Every generation had a different demand, and Bendeth delivered every time.

His approach to drum production became the blueprint others have followed for years.

David's experience and expertise now in your creative process.

Engineered By Experience

David has one of the top engineering teams and never settles when he makes a record, so we didn’t either when making this pack.

We brought in the A++ team: Rick Carson and Ryan Harvey from Make Believe Studio, and Mike Farretti, who have made many records under David as engineers.

John Colangelo, David’s brilliant drum tech, responsible for some of his most iconic records, and world-class drummer Steve Zywicka, who knows exactly how to hit to make each drum sing. 

When you put one of the most compelling collections of drums, with the best and most loved gear ever made, at the fingertips of S-tier engineers, the results speak for themselves.

Time Capsule Of Never Before Sampled Drum Kits

Dozens of snare, tom and kick options spanning nearly a century of manufacturing history.

Most have never been sampled because they're too rare to access. Others, because no one thought to preserve them before they disappeared.

These drums are impossible to find. Snares going back as far as the 1920s, others with less than 50 units ever made, and flagship drums in mint condition from multiple generations, there’s no library with heritage like this.

Hal Blaine's actual kit. The shells played on thousands of hit records from the 60s through 80s. Beach Boys, Simon and Garfunkel, and countless tracks you've heard without knowing these were the drums. That kit is here.

Drumming legend Lenny White personally brought his custom snare collection for sampling. A Grammy-winning pioneer, White helped shape entire eras of jazz and fusion, from Miles Davis to Return to Forever.

This is archaeological preservation.

Decades of production taste applied to a century of drum manufacturing evolution. Historic instruments that played on records you, your parents, and your grandparents grew up with, now preserved forever in pristine digital form.

You're getting access to drums most producers will never see in person, let alone play or record.
