    A collection of 5 hit libraries perfect for creating a pop classic

    Achieve that sound, immediately. Our Originals Pop bundle has all the ingredients for producing that standout Pop vibe with a nostalgic twist. First in the line up we bring you Mrs Mills Piano, famous for its use on countless ’60s pop era records, expertly recorded in Abbey Road Studio Two. Next up Abe Laboriel Jr Drums, a bespoke drum kit performed by Abe Laboriel Jr. — best known as Sir Paul McCartney’s touring drummer since 2001. Following that, a pristinely captured Wurli; not only a pillar of RnB classics from Ray Charles to Donny Hathaway, this instrument found its way onto countless hits of the 70s and 80s with Elton John, Richard Carpenter, Edward Van Halen, and famously on Supertramp’s Dreamer. We finish off this bundle with Cinematic Pads and Intimate Strings, so you can add texture and emotion to your next pop track.
