Wedge
Drums that hit.
One strip for every drum. Pick the piece and Wedge re-voices its EQ, cleanup and compression around it, so a snare and an overhead each get the moves they need.

What it does
Five voicings
Kick, Snare, Toms, Overheads and Room. Every frequency and every compressor timing changes with the piece.
Punch on one knob
Threshold, ratio and makeup move together. Turn it until the drum hits the way you hear it.
Slam underneath
A 20:1 parallel crush blended under the dry drum, for room and sustain without losing the attack.
A clean ceiling
Asymmetric tube drive and a transparent −0.3 dBFS clipper, both 4× oversampled.
