THE RIGHT DRUM PROCESSING TOOLS 

The secret to making an average drum recording sound incredible can be elusive. It takes the right combination of processors, with the perfect sonic character, in the correct configuration and tweaked in the right way. Drumstrip takes drum sounds from ordinary and average to vibrant and exhilarating in a few quick, easy steps.

Plug in, switch on and experiment. Drumstrip handles the hard part; putting the right selection of fantastic sounding processing tools in your hands in an instant.

With Drumstrip, DAW users can attain increased presence, clarity and detail in their drum tracks; reduce spill in individual tracks; restore natural brightness; achieve greater perceived loudness; shorten or lengthen the attack and sustain of percussive signals; tighten up booming toms; make kicks and snares stand out in a mix; and parallel compress room mics.

Key Features

  • Carefully selected collection of five audio processing tools
  • Transient shaper with Transient Invert to bring the attack phase of your drums to life
  • Transient Shaper Audition enables you to isolate and monitor the effect of the Transient Shaper
  • Dedicated drum Gate with range and independent open and close threshold controls
  • High Frequency Enhancer to invigorate top end
  • Low Frequency Enhancer to improve bass frequencies
  • The classic SSL Listen Mic Compressor with additional bypass function to alter the legendary band-limited compression to full range compression
  • Adjustable processor order"because a different processing order is required for different types of drums
  • Input & Output Level metering with additional RMS meters

    Solid, Controlled Drum Shaping with a Classic SSL Feel

    SSL Drumstrip feels more restrained and musical than some modern “all-in” drum processors. Compared to heavier tools like Melda Drumstrip, the high end is smoother and less aggressive, while the low end comes forward in a controlled way. On drum buses, it adds weight and cohesion without instantly turning everything hyped.

    The compressor is the highlight for me. Even with modest settings, the drums stay together when pushing the fader up, especially on toms and drum buses. Gating can be a bit strong by default, but once dialed back it becomes usable and predictable.

    I don’t see it as a replacement for more extreme processors. Instead, it works very well as a first or middle stage: shaping tone and dynamics, then letting other plugins handle character or impact. For clean, solid drum control with an SSL character, Drumstrip does its job well.
