Just a curiosity question.

I got this with K10U and the Service Center keeps asking for a serial #.
It's not listed as a product at all on the NI Web Site.  

It's interesting because it runs in Demo mode and has the Abbey Road
REDD Console in the mixer.

Anyone know anything about this?

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.

I have two libraries showing up in Kontakt.
Abbey Road 60's Drums and Abbey Roas 60's Drummer. As BassDaddy says the "Drums" library predates Drummer and does not have MIDI patterns.
 
Both show up in service centre and have different serial numbers. IIRC the drummer was a free update to Drums.
 
60's Drummer shows in service center as Komplete 10 while "Drums" shows a Komplete 8. I suggest you try to regester it with your Komplete 8 serial number.

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...



 
 

If it was from Komplete 8 I didn't have K8, which means I can't register it...but why
include it with K10U if it's not included?

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?

Yes...that's how it got installed....I just figured it was included in K10U...

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 thought so too....I couldn't figure out where it came from....I didn't have it before K10U...
I like the REDD theme for the mixer and other parts of the Library...

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)?
