Add a little bit of magic to your drum sound with a Ludwig Black Magic Snare, recorded with a medium/low tuning for adding weight to your snare drum sound. Perfect for house of worship snare drum replacement / doubling. Blend it subtly, or make it the centrepiece of your mix. Feel free to use as standalone WAVs or with Slate Trigger 2.
Recorded with AKG C414s on Overheads, Nuemann u87s as room mics, SM7B on Snare bottom, and Slate Digital ML-1 Mic on snare top.
