Spitfire Audio releases first ORIGINALS drum kit, performed by a legend

Spitfire Audio is proud to present Originals - Abe Laboriel Jr. Drums – a drum kit library performed by world-renowned session drummer Abe Laboriel Jr. — best known as Sir Paul McCartney’s touring drummer since 2001. His bespoke drum kit has been recorded at the iconic Henson Studios, Los Angeles, for a tight and vibrant sound. At the heart of this library is a versatile selection of highly detailed and deeply sampled single hits, offering complete control of the character of a groove across a wide dynamic range. This is accompanied by a collection of 10 inspiring loop presets, performed on the same kit, each with variations and intricate fills mapped out across the keyboard and suited to a range of styles, including pop, soul, funk and rock. An all-round classic and dynamic sound, the library offers optimal creative options for sound design through three distinctive signals. The Close and Room microphones provide clarity and punch respectively, while the third ‘Hype’ signal, created using analogue processing, adds weight, depth and crunch.

HENSON STUDIOS

“The room is integral, a major part of the sound. It's actually become my favourite room... I've done loads of records there — Vanessa Carlton, Sheryl Crow, Paul McCartney… A lot of records now, they sound like they could have been done anywhere. You're missing the fingerprint of a room, a place…It's the perfect size. The decay is really lovely, and drums have a great attack there, but a lovely warmth as well.”
— Abe Laboriel Jr.

Henson Recording Studios, in the heart of Hollywood, is one of the music industry's top recording facilities, known for its world-class blend of state of the art and vintage equipment. Highlights from the Studio's prolific and legendary credits include Tapestry (Carole King), Blue (Joni Mitchell), Rock & Roll (John Lennon) and A Kind of Hush (The Carpenters), as well as records by Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Herb Albert and Fleetwood Mac, and many more.

ABE LABORIEL JR.

Abraham Laboriel Jr. is a world-renowned American session drummer. The son of legendary
Mexican-American bass guitarist Abraham Laboriel, he studied at the Berklee College of Music and went on to tour with guitarist Steve Vai, Seal, k.d. Lang, Sting and has been the drummer for Sir Paul McCartney's touring and recording band since 2001, including McCartney's appearance during the halftime of Super Bowl XXXIX. Laboriel has also recorded and performed with Shakira, B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Johnny Hallyday, Steve Winwood, Les Paul, Vanessa Carlton, Kelly Clarkson, Lady Gaga, and others.

In addition to drums, Laboriel also sings and plays bass, guitar and keyboards. When touring with McCartney, he will occasionally switch to one of these instruments, and on his own 2013 solo album, Naked, he played every instrument.

About his playing, he says: "As much as I would love to say I have an original sound, I think the truth is I have an original filter. I'd listen so much and so hard to so many different people that what's original about me is not necessarily what I play but how I play it, how I interpret it hasn't already been done. It's more about the energy and the intensity, it's not about the specific fills, it's more about the intention.”
