Popsticks is our latest kit for your rhythmic enjoyment. It's a tidy four-piece '60s vintage Slingerland maple set, complete with Radio-King snare. It has a warm vintage sound, with just enough modern clarity to work in today's mixes. Close mic and room mic options give plenty of scope for keeping things interesting. Tracked through a '74 Neve desk, and as always onto a nice thick roll of tape.
PopSticks is also available as part of the Tape Series One Bundle.
