Rick DiFonzo, Producer & Engineer
Rick DiFonzo, the key player behind Discrete Drums, 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. Drum libraries at the time were limp and did not rock. The one drum library that rocked because the drums sounded great and the drummer was great, had a stereo mix swimming in room ambience - and not in a good way. I decided to go with a multitrack format, as no one else had done it. I knew lots of great drummers from my days as a session and touring guitarist. I went into the studio right away. Discrete Drums grew from my need for rocking drums that I could mix myself. Now you can customize the sound of the drum kits recorded by great drummers, and add them to your tracks just the way you want.". More About Rick DiFonzo
