UJAM Neon Drum Machine Plug-In (Digital Download)

NEON is UJAM’s Virtual Drummer plugin for nu disco drums and dance-pop grooves. These are defined by their tight, snappy, on-top-of-the-mix drum sound in combination with a driving, forward rhythmic feel.

Referring to the legends of 1970s disco like Chic and The Bee Gees, NEON’s rhythm engine gives you that organic liveliness only an actual human drummer can deliver. The recorded drum kits are original vintage kits from the most legendary makers like Ludwig and Rogers.

We recorded them in a small booth using era-specific mics and outboard processing like the Sennheiser MD 421 and Neve 1073. That pristine vintage drum quality is then processed by a state-of-the-art mixing console under the hood of Virtual Drummer NEON, which is macro-controlled by 6 mix presets. The combination of vintage recording and modern processing is what gives NEON its signature sound.

With690 ready-to-use drum phrases across 30 styles, five vintage-inspired acoustic drum kits, and easy-to-use sound-shaping controls, NEON makes it simple for producers to create tight, energetic drum tracks without extensive programming.
