Waves Maserati DRM

Waves Maserati DRM - Digital Download | Grammy-Winning Master Drum Dynamics Processor

Waves Maserati DRM is a drum processing plugin designed in close collaboration with Grammy-winning producer Tony Maserati (known for his work with Beyoncé, Jason Mraz, and David Bowie). In modern music production, the clarity and punch of the drums are crucial to the success of a mix. Especially in dense arrangements, drums often struggle to cut through. The Maserati DRM was created to solve this core problem, making your drum mixing simpler and more efficient than ever before. Whether you're working with electronic drum sources or live recorded kits, you can achieve a sound full of energy and detail.

This plugin is not a traditional compressor or EQ, but rather a complete processing chain that integrates Tony Maserati's decades of mixing experience. Through its unique THUMP, SNAP, and TREBLE controls, you can quickly and precisely sculpt the low-end weight of your kick drum, the crisp attack of your snare, and the airy presence of your cymbals. Maserati DRM includes optimized modes for different drum elements—from kick, snare, and hi-hats to overhead and room mics. Each mode is meticulously tuned to provide the perfect starting point, making your Maserati DRM an indispensable secret weapon for drum processing. Say goodbye to struggling with complex parameters and focus on your music. Let this drum processing tool inject life into your rhythms.

Core Advantages & Use Cases

Master's Sonic Signature
Designed and tuned in collaboration with Grammy-winner Tony Maserati, this plugin embodies the signature drum sounds he has crafted for top artists. Without complex settings, you can achieve the punchy, mix-ready drum sounds heard on tracks by superstars like Beyoncé and Jason Mraz.

Tailor-Made for Drums
This is not just a general-purpose plugin; it's a dedicated tool deeply optimized for every part of the drum kit (kick, snare, toms, cymbals, etc.). Each mode contains a unique processing chain, ensuring precision and musicality.

Simple, Intuitive Controls
Doing away with complicated parameters, Maserati DRM offers three core knobs: THUMP (enhances low-end body and weight), SNAP (sharpens transient punch and attack), and TREBLE (boosts high-frequency air and detail). This allows you to make intuitive adjustments by ear and quickly achieve your desired sound.

Cut Through Dense Mixes
Tony Maserati's primary goal in designing this plugin was to solve the problem of drums getting lost in dense mixes with many instruments and vocals. It effectively shapes the drum's transient response, allowing it to cut through the mix with clarity and maintain a powerful presence even in the busiest arrangements.

For Live and Virtual Drums
Whether you're working with a multi-miked acoustic drum kit or virtual drum sources from drum machines and samplers, Maserati DRM adapts perfectly. It can add life to sterile electronic drums and make the dynamics and details of a real kit stand out.

Efficient Workflow
For producers and mix engineers who value efficiency, Maserati DRM is an excellent starting point. Simply load the plugin, select the appropriate drum mode, make a few tweaks, and you can quickly establish a solid, powerful drum foundation, saving significant time for the rest of your mix.
