ex-Abbey Road Mobile console (1964 design) with a 28-channel/16-track
configuration, with Germanium Transistor mic preamps.

Recorded on a classic analog console
During the Superior Custom & Vintage sessions, the studio
management let it be known the EMI desk was to be replaced. Toontrack
couldn't let that pass without recording one more session in that room
with that desk - It was the last chance. The resulting recordings make
up Superior Vintage ADD-ON. Superior Vintage ADD-ON was engineered and
produced by Grammy winning producer Peter Henderson and played by
world-renowned session drummer Chris Whitten.
Features drums used by top studio players
Together with Custom & Vintage, dfh Superior Vintage ADD-ON brings
together many of the drums being used by the world's top studio
drummers. Even though most drummers endorse a single brand, widespread
use of vintage and custom-built instruments is common in the studio
scene.
Includes Ludwig "Keystone" kit from the mid-'60s
The Ludwig Drum Company had no idea what was about to hit them in the
months following February 9th 1964, The Beatles U.S. television
appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. The band were a sensation and
almost overnight everyone wanted to own a set of Ludwig drums just like
Ringo's.
Also includes Gretsch "Round Badge" set
At the same time Ringo Starr was playing Ludwig drums, Charlie Watts -
his opposite number in The Rolling Stones - was playing Gretsch,
another classic American brand. The "Round Badge" era of Gretsch drums
has been the choice of the most important jazz drummers in history and
still is among contemporary players. The Superior Vintage ADD-ON also
features Noonan, Slingerland and WFL snares and Steve Hubback Custom
Cymbals.
