SSD Chris Lord-Alge Expansion brings the unmistakable sound of Chris Lord-Alge — the Grammy-winning engineer and mixer behind countless rock hits — directly into your productions. In the spring of 2012, CLA returned to his engineering roots and recorded multiple world-class drum kits at OCEAN Studios in Burbank. Each kit was mixed in his classic style using his LA mix room and the same signal chains heard on his biggest records. He even printed a sample layer from his legendary SONY reverb unit on the kicks and snares. The result: some of the fattest, punchiest, and most mix-ready virtual drums ever created for Steven Slate Drums (SSD) and Trigger.
