Our Blue Oyster kit includes production-ready presets that provide instant access to vintage and modern production techniques. Size does matter! This ADpak is inspired by the setup of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham. The big sizes, coated heads, and characteristic tuning give you a clear and thunderous drum sound that is reminiscent of the late 60s.
