More than just a nod to nostalgia, this retrospective take on old skool game sounds emulates the golden age of the arcade, bringing the 8-bit orchestra back to life. K.O every enemy with this array of pulsating pings, rising chimes, percussive punches, frenetic fuzz and flipped out glitches!

OK, you all know the drill. It’s time to lay down the drum track for your future Grammy Award-winning song, but there’s just one tiny little problem; no live drummer within a 50-mile radius of your studio.

EastWest has released The Dark Side, created and produced by Doug Rogers and David Fridmann.

My problem is that there is some amount of cymbal or hi-hat over most…
