The spirit of radio

Nostalgia runs the show when it comes to standing out in the music scene. Whether you’re an indie rockstar or a lo-fi mastermind, LEGEND’s naturalistic impact is touching.

Timeless production approach

Engineers of the past sought to refine their rhythm section with close mics on deadened drum heads and other dampening techniques. We’ve emulated these classic tactical strategies in LEGEND.

Go your own way

Clean, tight drums are the gold standard for experimental production. Call it a day with LEGEND’s up front, direct recorded sounds – all primed to absorb additional processing to make them your own.
