No doubt – you love power metal and there's one true original for you: Ingo Schwichtenberg! Wouldn't it be something to have him behind the drums for your next production? Well, you've come to the right session.

• Spirit: Dani Löble – Today's drummer of Helloween, at home on stages and studios worldwide, set up Ingo's original drum kit and played all samples in different velocities and articulations. With his powerful style and outstanding double bass skills, which are like clockwork, he provides a real boost in any metal production.

• Sound: Sonor Signature Heavy Bubinga – Fans, listen up! We're not talking about just any Sonor Signature set here, but the original drum set that Helloween's first drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg played with and that was also recorded for Helloween's chart-breaking album "Helloween" (2021). All samples are originally taken from the recording session of this iconic album.

• Craftsmanship: Charlie Bauerfeind – All Klangmacht Drum Plugins are masterfully shaped by legendary producer Charlie Bauerfeind. Charlie is a powerhouse in metal production, renowned for his impeccable ear and dynamic approach. Each microphone was carefully pre-routed to stems, premixed, and preprocessed by Charlie, ensuring that every hit, crash, and thump you trigger is full of character and production-ready, sent with love right into your studio, waiting to be shaped into your next masterpiece.

Focus on the essentials!

• Thanks to the intuitive concept and powerful sound shaping capabilities, you can turn the drums from intimate in-your-face banging to epic stadium size.

• To embed your drums in your mix as effortlessly as possible, Klangmacht offers you a range of special sound shaping options that require no prior engineering knowledge. On the contrary:
  Follow your intuition and taste – the technical side is taken care of.

• The pre-produced, stem-based samples are not limited to direct signals or reverb and rooms, as is often the case with conventional plug-ins. Klangmacht offers you a range of additional sound components with which you can color your drums. Be it with the Bleed Control, to add some crunch to the Drums and place them more directly in the mix. Or with the advantage of running shells and cymbals as separate overhead signals. Creating the perfect drum sound has never been easier.
