Description :
Today we all know and use electronic drums, but in the early 80s of
the last century the first electronic drums were a real novelty,
which revolutionized not only the sound of music years, but also in the process of working in a recording studio.
Many producers chose to record the sound of electronic drums rather than acoustic ones
because it saved time and money, eliminating the need to install microphones,
find the right positions, and spend hours EQing and correcting the recorded material.
With an electronic drum kit, everything was faster: you just had to plug in the cables and maybe
find the right sound for the song, which was ideal, especially for many low-cost, e.g. pop music productions.Description Continued
The first electronic drums were completely analog, generating drum sounds with just a few elements such as an oscillator and a white noise generator, as well as a pair of envelopes and a filter. The sound was not entirely realistic, but it was distinctive and ideal for creating certain, never-before-seen sounds.
The disadvantage was that electronic drums could only generate the sound of drums, not cymbals. Therefore, the sound of real cymbals was recorded along with the sound of electronic drums. A similar setup was often used live. It was common to see a drummer on stage playing the typical hexagonal pads, but paired with a set of real cymbals.
The GSi Drum-80 reproduces exactly this scenario. It contains two separate sound engines that can play simultaneously.
One of them recreates the sounds of the famous Simmons SDS-V electronic drum module
(much like the later SDS-8); at the same time, the exclusive GSi WLF Engine reproduces a multisample of real cymbals
recorded exclusively for the Drum-80.
