Hans Zimmer Drums
Your definitive epic drum kit
Your definitive epic drum kit
Oscar-winning composer and producer Hans Zimmer presents the ultimate epic drum kit, played by rock aristocrat Jason Bonham. Bonham's exclusive DW Vistalite kits have been expertly sampled at three legendary Los Angeles locations — The Newman Stage at 20th Century Fox, The Sony Scoring Stage, and an enormous space on Hans' own lot dubbed 'The Cathedral' — alongside more exclusive Zimmer gems, in this historic series of sessions. Following on from our hugely popular Hans Zimmer Percussion, this timeless, versatile kit has been designed for both media composers and rock producers alike to add epic power and energy to your scores and tracks, fitting perfectly with your existing Spitfire libraries.
