New virtual drum instrument captures some of the world’s rarest drums and a legendary producer’s signature sound.
WEEHAWKEN, NJ, UNITED STATES, March 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Drumforge has released Drumforge David Bendeth, a complete drum sampler plugin representing the biggest and most ambitious release in the company’s history. Recorded at the legendary IIWII Studios in Weehaken, New Jersey with one of only six operational Focusrite consoles in existence, Drumforge David Bendeth captures the production sound of multi-diamond producer David Bendeth across nine kick drums, twenty-five snare drums, twenty-three tom configurations, and a full cymbal collection, all housed in a completely rebuilt virtual sampler platform.
David Bendeth has shaped the sound of modern rock and metal for decades, producing and mixing records for Paramore, Breaking Benjamin, Bring Me the Horizon, Underoath, All Time Low, and many others. The library was conceived as both a production tool and a historical preservation effort, capturing some of the rarest drums in the world including vintage pieces from the 1920s and Hal Blaine’s original session kit, alongside David’s signature Impact one-shot samples and real hardware reverb processing from his personal SPX90, Lexicon PCM70, Lexicon 480L, and EMT 140 Plate units.

– Completely rebuilt sampler platform with a redesigned interface consolidating drum building, mixing, MIDI mapping, and song arrangement into a unified professional workflow
– Extensive drum collection spanning 1920s vintage to modern boutique across seven complete kit configurations
– True Bleed system with real recorded bleed audio and individual controls for a natural, organic drum sound
– Impact one-shots: David Bendeth’s actual signature samples integrated directly into each drum channel with blend control
– Real hardware reverb processing through David’s personal Yamaha SPX90, Lexicon PCM70, Lexicon 480L, and EMT 140 Plate

Drumforge David Bendeth supports VST3, AU, and AAX formats and runs natively on Apple Silicon. A standalone application is included. The library requires 40GB of free drive space and 8GB RAM minimum.
