Having shaped the sound of numerous immortal albums, like Steely Dan\u2019s \u201cAja,\u201d worked on a total of 91 platinum- and 14 gold-certified records, received 25 Grammy Award nominations (winning eight), four Emmy nominations (winning two) and three TEC Awards nominations as well as being a TEC Hall of Fame inductee and a recipient of the Surround Pioneer Award, Elliot Scheiner<\/strong> is nothing short of a legend in the music recording industry. To add, having recorded or mixed soundtracks for iconic Hollywood films \u2013 like \u201cThe Godfather\u201d<\/em> \u2013 and several highly praised Broadway productions as well as surround concerts and documentaries for the likes of Beyonc\u00e9, Foo Fighters, the Eagles and many more, Elliot is just as much an icon in the fields of live and cinema sound. What happens when you give someone like him a carte blanche on drums, studio, mics and gear? The short answer is the State of the Art SDX<\/strong>, an absolutely impeccably captured collection of beautifully acoustic drum sounds.<\/p>\n

This SDX expansion for Superior Drummer 3 features seven vintage-to-modern kits, all handpicked to showcase the absolute maximum width of tones and timbres. Recorded at Elliot Scheiner\u2019s choice studio, the famed Clubhouse<\/strong> in Upstate New York, it boasts three different room ambiences; the subtle, dry and tight Studio Iso<\/em>, the warm and intimate-sounding Library<\/em> as well as the hard-hitting but still acoustically perfect Live Room<\/em>. To add, selected kits were sampled using brushes and recorded with a Decca Tree microphone setup or alternative ambiences, giving you an even more eclectic palette of flavors to choose from.<\/p>\n

In addition to the drums, presets by Elliot as well as the Toontrack sound design team are provided, allowing you get started instantly with fully balanced and mix-ready sounds. On top of that, a generous collection of custom grooves and fills inspired by the kits, Elliot\u2019s discography and the overall vibe of the session are included. All combined, this SDX gives you the total package of drums, mixes and grooves.\n <\/p>\n

One might argue the contradictory in calling an SDX captured using some of the most tried-and-true techniques in audio recording state-of-the-art, but fact is that in the studio anyone can record an instrument. Actually capturing<\/em> what an instrument truly sounds<\/em> like, however, comes down to great engineering and experience. This is an SDX in which five decades worth of hands-on audio craftsmanship is imbued in every single mic placement and technical decision that ultimately lead to digital waveforms of raw, unbridled and brutally honest sound. No guesswork or strokes of luck involved, just pure love for the craft of making instruments sound exactly like they do. The sum of all those things put in the framework of the most advanced drum production software on the planet can\u2019t be labeled anything other than the exact meaning of the title of this SDX: \u201cthe highest degree of development of an art or technique at a particular time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a collection of dynamic, deep and textured tones \u2013 transparent and rich in harmonics enough for you to be able to hone, shape and tweak them to fit in virtually any musical context, this SDX is a must. Simply put: with this expansion you\u2019ll get the best of drums captured with the best of gear by one of the absolute best in the history of the business<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

ABOUT
ELLIOT SCHEINER<\/strong><\/h2>\n
An icon of the recording industry.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
Elliot Scheiner started his career in the late 1960s at the famed A & R Recording studios in New York City as the assistant under legendary engineer Phil Ramone. He quickly advanced and started heading up productions on his own, though, with Van Morrison\u2019s \u201cMoondance\u201d as his first major record hit followed by a Grammy Award-win for Steely Dan\u2019s now-iconic album \u201cAja.\u201d After that, he\u2019s not only worked back to back with major label artists in all imaginable genres, but he\u2019s also excelled in the world of feature films, documentaries as well as live and surround sound mixing. In fact, he\u2019s got 91 platinum- and 14 gold-certified records, 25 Grammy Award nominations (winning eight), four Emmy nominations (winning two) and three TEC Awards nominations to back it up (just to mention some of his many accolades).\n <\/p>\n
Simply put, Elliot Scheiner is an icon of the recording industry.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

FIVE QUESTIONS TO ELLIOT SCHEINER.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
Leaving performance aside, what is the number one most important factor to you when it comes to capturing drums?<\/strong>
\n When it comes to capturing drums, I always weigh the vocal and lyrics. Even though it’s imaginary, I try and decipher the importance of the drums and where they will have to sit.\n<\/p>\n
Looking back on the absolute wealth of albums you have been part of capturing the sound for during your impressive career, surely some must stand out on either a sonic or personal level?<\/strong>
\n I’m pretty sure when people look at my career, I think they look at the drums I’ve recorded for Steely Dan. I’d have to say because of the time and effort put into getting the right sounds for Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, they would probably stand out as my biggest accomplishment.<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ \n <\/div>\n
\n
Why was The Clubhouse your studio of choice? What makes its rooms so great for drums?<\/strong>
\n The Clubhouse is so different than all modern-day studios. Not only are its rooms of great design, but it has a great Neve 8058 console and the choice of digital or analog. It also offers five rooms for musicians which allows you to concentrate on what you’re there to begin with. MUSIC!<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/p>\n
Seeing as you\u2019ve worked in this industry since the late 1960s, what would your one tip be for any aspiring engineer, producer or mixer looking to make a career today?<\/strong>
\n Because things have changed so much since I started, I would say it’s most important for a beginner to be an A&R guy. Find a band or artist that you think is great and try to produce them.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
Now that the project is done and you\u2019ve had a chance to sit down and work with the sounds, what are your thoughts?<\/strong>
\n When I first embarked on this project and the recording procedure, it was still a mystery to me. But when I got the final sounds I have to say it was impressive. I so enjoyed creating my own ideas of what I thought people would wanna hear coming from me.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m pretty sure when people look at my career, I think they look at the drums I’ve recorded for Steely Dan.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

ABOUT THE STUDIO.<\/strong><\/h2>\n
A creative haven in Upstate New York.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n <\/p>\n
About 150 miles upstream from the hustle and bustle of New York City, wedged in between green pastures, narrow roads and the Hudson River, the Clubhouse studio has been an off-the-grid creative haven for engineers, producers and artists of all genres ever since it first opened its doors back in the mid 1980s.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
Behind the rural facade of this place hides a state-of-the-art studio which is the culmination of 30+ years of dedicated work towards achieving the best in everything from acoustics to mics, gear and \u2013 most importantly \u2013 feel. Or, as Elliot explained it, why bands and producers took productions here was because they could focus on what mattered: the music.<\/p>\n

THE CRAFTSMAN KIT.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\n Recorded in:<\/strong> Live room
\n Tool(s) recorded:<\/strong> Drumsticks (snare wires on and off) and brushes (snare wires on)\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
Handcrafted using the same traditional method of steam bending drum shells that gave the iconic sound of some of the most celebrated wood-shelled snare drums of the 20th century, this kit sounds both vintage and modern, all at once. Providing a slightly longer note and higher fundamental than the more common maple material, the single-ply ash construction of this kit, paired with single-ply coated heads, made it an obvious to record in the Live Room.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
In contrast to the Craftsman kit, this one has an 11-ply construction of three different woods (plus an additional outer veneer). That and the fact that each individual drum has its own bearing edge individually optimized for tone and projection makes this kit a masterpiece of contemporary drum-making. It simply sounds sublime.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Reimagining the golden ages of drum-making of the 50s, 60s and 70s but with a modern-day stability and reliability, this kit utilizes the classic none-ply beech undersized and cross-laminated shell. Together with the single-ply coated heads, these shells have that classic, warm and vintage tones that are so highly desired in the modern recording environment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A smaller, high-tuned version of the Craftsman Kit that really sings in any jazz, classic soul or hip-hop setting.

A tribute to the classic dry, tight and controlled sounds that underpinned the jazz- and fusion-tinged pop of the 1970s and 1980s. Obviously, this kit was heavily inspired by Elliot\u2019s work on the iconic \u201cAja\u201d album by Steely Dan, a record known for its magnificent drum tones.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Inspired by the critically acclaimed Van Morrison album engineered by Elliot at A&R Studios in the late 1960s, this kit was captured with a different microphone setup consistent with the techniques used at the time. The results speak for themselves.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
