This studio, which Thordendal and Bergstrand built from the ground up, was designed with the goal of creating the epitome of a drum room: spacious and reverberant but at the same time profoundly precise, direct and controlled. It was recorded at Fredrik Thordendal’s personal studio 33 in Stockholm, Sweden. In this joint venture of sourcing, engineering and ultimately externalizing their very figment of what the most all-encompassing metal-related SDX for Superior Drummer 3 could be, they ended up with an absolute monster weighing in at a staggering 180+ GB. The Area 33 SDX brings together parts of the original Drumkit From Hell team: Meshuggah guitarist Fredrik Thordendal and producer/engineer/mixer Daniel Bergstrand (Behemoth, In Flames, Dimmu Borgir). Toontrack releases new SDX for Superior Drummer 3 by Fredrik Thordendal and Daniel Bergstrand Earlier collaborations include the likes of Al Schmitt, Bob Rock, Eddie Kramer, Michael Ilbert, Tom Dalgety, Randy Staub and more. It also adds another milestone release in the company’s collection of SDXs for Superior Drummer 3.

This marks the sixth and final release in Toontrack’s ongoing Metal Month campaign.
