NI Abbey Road 60's Vintage Drummer

Larry, did you have it before they put the midi in it? It was called "Drums" not Drummer then and I have tried using the serial for the wrong one in that mix up? Prob not but just threw it out there. It could be some "Alpha" test deal. I got Reaktor 6 on my K9U. Had a pretty red icon too but the test period had expired so I never got to use it. That's kind of cool having the REDD on it.

Here's a screenshot...

 
It's called Abbey Road | 60's Drums Vintage

All the other drums have the "SSL" style mixer, while this one has the "REDD" style mixer and
it says DEMO right next to the Loaded Library Name above the mixer...

Mine looks almost the same with the exception the Library banner does not say vintage. If you have the 60's Drummer I dont think there is that much advantage to having this unless there are legasy projects to consider. I think its the same samples but the "Drummer" version added the MIDI grooves and updated interface.
 
As to where it came from, if you were to do a selective install of K10U can it be selected?

Its the before midi version. Before midi was AR Drums, after midi grooves AR Drummer. There is no grooves in that screen shot. You need Kontakt 5 for Drummer, 4 or even 3 for drums. You could activate that with Komplete 7 for sure. Was K8 Kontakt 4 or 5? Really strange that would get installed with K10U.

I have K9U, and both AR '60s Drums Vintage and AR '60s Drummer were installed and authorized by default. Drummer does look like a major upgrade to Drums, but both use the same kit photo. Drums had a single instrument, while Drummer added 3 additional instruments. I've been using AD2, and haven't tried either of the AR instruments other than to play them a bit while checking for this post.
 
I suspect that Drums is still part of the distro package to retain compatibility with older projects that used Drums. The interface might be cool, but why would you use Drums instead of Drummer on a new project? Do they generate different sounds? Was the kit resampled for Drummer, or is the one instrument that's common the same (drum map and samples)?

K9's a dog.

I had AD 60's with K7 Elements and it was just one kit. K7 had 2 kits with Full and lite so 4 I guess. I've read some people like the Drums version more because of a change to make it work with Kontakt 5. But that type of stuff is always there with new versions. Might be valid might not. And Fender hasn't made a good guitar since 1961. I checked, that is the same as I had in Komplete 7 Elements. Red chicken heads included. You guys are in a time warp. Upside, if you went back far enough you will get to see new pictures of ST3 under development. Downside, second puberty. And second isn't any easier than the first............trust me!
