ChocolateAudio have announced the Bonzo sampled drum kit, a sampled rendition of a Ludwig VistaLite drum kit with Paiste cymbals and the first downloadable product from ChocolateAudio’s newly designed site. The kit configuration is similar to one of the drum setups used by John Bonham of Led Zeppelin during the ‘70s.
The drums have been sampled with a natural room sound so you can add your own reverb to get closer to that elusive Led Zep drum sound.
