Dream Kit: Zenith is a long held dream for me. I first came up with it when I was refinishing my early 80’s Gretsch kit in 2015.
What if I chromatically tuned everything and it would sort of be like a synth?
The instruments in Dream Kit: Zenith are not intended to be realistic per se but hit that ‘what is that, how have they made that sound?’ beyond real, in a way.

Throughout the 4 years I’ve been working on this and a decade thinking about it I came across so many cool sounds, both acoustically and digitally. As I went along the mission shifted. It became something sort of influenced by the ideas of Fergus Hendersons ‘Nose to Tail eating’ – but applied to drums: What if I sampled and tuned every component part of the drum set?
Beyond that I tried to include sounds that felt musical and that felt inspiring:
There’s 120 different ‘waveforms’ ranging from deeply multisampled stuff with up to 38 velocity layers, multiple round robins to interesting one shots and everything in between. Stretched and tuned across 5 octaves then reamped at Otterhead Studios giving Close, Overhead and Room on everything.
All the drums share the same overhead mics & room mics:
