Rick DiFonzo, Discrete Drums Founder says, "Discrete Drums was born of necessity. When I tried to use drum libraries in my work as a composer/producer, I quickly found even the best sounding libraries tied my hands. Not wanting to use a drum machine, I called some old friends, went into the studio, and Discrete Drums was born. Now that I'm ready to go back to my roots as a performing musician, Sonoma Wire Works is a great fit for taking the reigns and continuing to offer quality Discrete Drums products." Press Release
