Key Features
The Goran Grooves Handy Drums John Bonham Style is the ultimate drum instrument to bring legendary classic drum sound to your recordings. Crafted from a '71 Ludwig drum kit and paired with modern production techniques, these drums will deliver an exceptionally wide range of tones and textures whilst retaining the sound of classic rock that pays homage to Led Zepplin.
The kick drum offers an open, robust sound that is perfectly complemented by the higher-pitched crack of the snare drum. The combination of close mic, overhead, and room mics creates an immersive listening experience with a wide stereo image and a centred bottom end.
No need to worry about mixing your drums - Handy Drums come pre-mixed and ready to use. Plus, the intuitive, easy-to-use interface allows you to effortlessly access all the functions you need to make the perfect tweaks. Each drum and cymbal was sampled at multiple dynamic levels, giving you unparalleled control over the sound.

Using Handy Drums doesn't require a complex guide. Its simple interface is powered by a design of over 50 samplers and smart algorithms. This ensures a smooth experience with intuitive access to all essential functions.
In the John Bonham-style Handy Drums, every drum and cymbal has been recorded at multiple dynamic levels (as many as 11), to guarantee the maximum dynamic range during playback. Furthermore, each drum and cymbal has been repeatedly sampled at every dynamic level, with up to 10 samples per level. During playback, the same sample isn't played back-to-back, instead, a distinct sample is triggered, offering unmatched authenticity from the virtual drums.
All Handy Drums samples come in 24-bit format for the ultimate resolution and sound quality. To achieve larger-than-life yet completely natural-sounding drums, every step of the sampling process is critical. Starting with drum tuning, drums were carefully treated before even a single note was played. They are captured using the highest-quality mics, preamps, and converters to preserve every minute detail.
Handy Drums sound like an actual drum set being played right in front of users in a room instead of a bunch of individual drums sounding in their own isolated spaces. Realism was achieved by recording the full breadth of acoustic drums and their natural ambience, then meticulously edited and mixed in post-production.
