The Eddie Kramer Drum Channel Black Friday deal covers a Waves drum plugin that packages the producer's drum mixing chains, with a price of $29.99, 69% off, until Nov 26, 2026.
Kramer is known for engineering and producing Led Zeppelin, Hendrix and the Rolling Stones. This plugin is how Waves puts his drum approach into your projects.
It's a channel-strip-style drum plugin built for multi-tracked drums. The maker says it captures Kramer's drum mixing chains in detail.
It has optimized settings for toms, kick, snare, hi-hat, overheads and room mics. Pick the part of the kit you're working on and dial in from there.
Waves points to three reference points for the sound: a big, atmospheric Zeppelin-style kit, a squashed Hendrix drum sound and a dirtier Stones-style one.
The features, as the maker lists them:
The gate matters on toms. Ringing toms are a common problem on multi-mic kits, and trimming the decay keeps the tail from smearing into the next hit.
The FX Send lets you set effects per drum sound instead of treating the whole kit the same way. Because it sits on the individual channel, you can tailor a send for the snare without touching the kick.
On Mac, the Eddie Kramer Drum Channel supports macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15, in VST, AU and AAX formats.
On PC, it needs Windows 10 or later and comes in VST and AAX formats.
If you're after a Waves drum FX plugin built around a classic rock drum sound, this VST is the one built around Kramer's name. It runs on the individual drum tracks of your session, so you can work through the kit one channel at a time.
Yes. The Eddie Kramer Drum Channel Black Friday deal takes 69% off, so the Waves plugin costs $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
It has compression for 60s and 70s drum sounds, a gate for cleaning up drums and taming ringing toms, an FX Send, and bass and treble controls. It also has a vintage veneer for old-school analog electronic drum sounds.
On Mac it comes as VST, AU and AAX, supporting macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15. On Windows 10 or later it comes as VST and AAX.
It's designed for multi-tracked drums. The maker says it has optimized settings for toms, kick, snare, hi-hat, overheads and room mics, so each part of the kit gets its own starting point.
