Some studios are famous not only because of their body of work, but because they helped change the course of music history. Because their heritage seeps through to culture and myth. Because they play an integral part in how we define a sound or an era. Because there truly can<\/em> be magic inside four studio walls. Ask Aretha Franklin, Etta James or Otis Redding and they\u2019ll probably tell you that, yes, there is something that<\/em> special about a place in the small rural community of Muscle Shoals, Alabama. A place that has soul \u2013 true Southern soul: FAME Studios.<\/p>\n

With the guidance of original Swampers guitarist Jimmy Johnson, period correct gear and mic placement, the Southern Soul EZX sets out to recreate the unmistakable sound of soul. Crisp, dense and saturated drums \u2013 all encapsulated in the hallmark ambience of the FAME room. It comes with five complete kits and two setups \u2013 one using all-mono miking techniques and one full stereo setup. On top of that, it features leakage mics for vocals, guitar, piano and upright bass set up in their original spots in the room, a signature FAME trait and key to adding that special band presence to the sound.<\/p>\n

From the smallest town with the biggest impact on music culture comes a touchstone collection of drums. Drums that have soul. True Southern soul.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
