Impact Soundworks have released Tokyo Scoring Drum Kits, a premier collection of acoustic drum kits (and kit ensemble), recorded and mixed by Japan’s top recording engineer Mitsunori Aizawa at the legendary Sound City Studio. It’s available at the intro price of $279.00, increasing to $299.00 after the promotion.
