You find yourself involuntarily swaying back and forth. Your whole body smiles. When your music has the sound and feel of the right drummer, that's what happens. Now you can add that magic drumming sound to your personal creations. SONiVOX is proud to offer Tony Coleman Drums, an amazing drum instrument for drummers, producers, and songwriters.
The right drummer makes the music come alive. A drummer is far more than just an invisible timekeeper—in a great drummer's hands, music turns into something memorable, emotional, dramatic. Your feet start tapping. You find yourself involuntarily swaying back and forth. Your whole body smiles. When your music has the sound and feel of the right drummer, that's what happens.
Now you can add that magic drumming sound to your personal creations. SONiVOX is proud to offer Tony Coleman Drums, an amazing drum instrument for drummers, producers, and songwriters. A legend in the R&B/Blues world, Tony is renowned for his work with B.B. King, Etta James, Buddy Guy and Albert King. He's been the irresistible pulse and unstoppable power behind some of the world's most infectious, soulful and unforgettable music. And now, in your creative hands, his one-of-a-kind sound is in your band!
The sound and feel of Tony's illustrious drumming was expertly captured at the lauded Ardent Studios in Memphis, TN, on the best recording gear available. Each individual kick drum accent, snare hit and cymbal strike was tracked to a Studer 2-inch analog tape machine to acquire the highly-desirable affect of tape compression. Complemented by a high-definition audio engine, each sample translates the session's impeccable realism and detail to any modern digital audio workstation. Tony imparts his unique touch every individual note he plays, and that's exactly what you get.

Additionally, drum/cymbal strikes can be adapted to any project by way of the instrument's powerful editing and mixing capabilities. Users can adjust pitch, envelope, EQ, and filter settings for each drum or cymbal, bringing versatility to the modern musician's arsenal. An all-new mixer provides per-part level, panning, and ambiance control—giving users the ability to tap into the coveted textures of Ardent's world-class live room. Post-processing effects include compression, reverb and EQ.
This instrument brings extraordinary sound and a contemporary feel to even the most modest studio. We think you'll agree that Coleman was the perfect drum source, and incorporating Ardent's collection of elite analog studio gear delivers the impressive results you're looking for. The audio engine we used is icing on the cake—close your eyes and Tony's sound is right there.

SONiVOX is well known for lovingly sampled instruments, and their latest addition to the library, Tony Coleman Drums, looks like another great option for musicians, producers, and songwriters looking for high-quality drum samples in a fairly straightforward interface. I spent some time with it this week and here’s what I found.
The first word that came to mind when trying to describe Tony Coleman Drums was ‘boutique’. The drum sounds have a polish to them that really helps give a track that blues/funk/jazz / soul feel. You may be only dealing with a single drum kit here, but it’s one that’s been meticulously sampled with different articulations, configurations, and effects. SONiVOX states that many of the kick and snare samples were recorded with 2-inch Studer tape compression, and that didn’t surprise me one bit. These drums sounds just feel ‘ready to go’ right out of the plugin.
The effect engine is another thing I should mention. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that the effects were quite musical and usable. A danger you can run into with drum plugins is that many virtual instrument manufactures tend to be quite heavy-handed with the compression and room noise. This wasn’t so with Tony Coleman Drums. I found the compression to be subtle and musical. The reverb is a bit thick when you first turn it on, but after dialing it back a bit, I found no need to route the instrument through my typical reverb chain in my DAW.
Make no mistake about it, first and foremost, Tony Coleman Drums is about getting you the Tony Coleman sound. If you’re looking for things like loops, riffs, pattern sequencers, file browsers… you’ll have to look elsewhere. The interface is incredibly simplified, giving you access to almost everything you need in a single screen. Re-mapping the drums is as easy as engaging the ‘learn’ button and pressing a note on your controller. It took me a few minutes to figure out the paradigm of ‘click learn, click on a drum, play a midi-note, then change the articulation’, but once I did I was able to re-map the kit to respond to any midi controller I liked (including an electronic kit).
The CPU footprint for TCD was quite low. I was actually rather impressed at how crisp and responsive the instrument was considering how little resources it took to run it. When I want a clean drum sound with little to no configuration or effort, I believe I’m going to be reaching for Tony Coleman Drums for sure. At the price SONiVOX is currently selling it for, this one is a no-brainer if you are in the market for a great sounding drum kit.
Price: $149.99 USD Pros: Simplified MIDI learn system. EXTREMELY low CPU profile. Easy to dial in a decent sound very quickly with a simplified mixer. Onboard FX are quite usable, don’t ‘over crush’ the drums. The high-quality samples really shine and are very ‘tight’ Cons: Default choice for reverb is very wet. Not an expansive level of control compared to other dedicated drum instruments, but this can be a positive if you’re looking for simplicity and ease of use.
