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 high end mics: AKG C414s on Overheads, Nuemann U87s as Room Mics, SM7B on Snare Bottom, and Slate Digital ML-1 Mic on Snare Top.

Working on a current project and these samples instantly got me to the sound I was looking for. I will 100% be purchasing any future samples/packs
