Rick DiFonzo, Producer & Engineer
Rick DiFonzo is the key player behind Discrete Drums. He says, "I'd planned a drum library because I was not happy with the products available at the time. I come from a rock background, having played guitar on and/or toured with Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, Roger Waters, Belinda Carlisle, Joan Osborn, Cyndi Lauper and others. The drum libraries at the time were limp, and despite claims to the contrary, did NOT rock. I decided to go with a multitrack format, as no one else had done it. I needed drum tracks for my writing, and knew lots of great drummers from my days as a session and touring guitarist. At that time there was only one drum library that rocked, and although the drums sounded great, and the drummer was great, the stereo mix was swimming in room ambience - and not in a good way. It was then that I went to a friend of mine with the idea of a multitrack drum library, and he invested in it. I went into the studio right away. Discrete Drums grew from my need for rocking drums that I could mix myself. Now users can customize the sound of the drum kits recorded by great drummers and make it sit in a track just the way they want.".
