Christian Henson, Spitfire's founder, has long been captivated by the emotional depth of steel drums. Teaming up once again with Frank Ricotti, whose percussion expertise graces projects like the iconic Hans Zimmer Percussion, we ventured back to AIR Studios to expand our percussion collection. Our goal: capture the versatility of steel drums, from soft layers to vibrant tones, suitable for various musical genres.
Presented in two interfaces, our standard multi-mic setup allows for intuitive articulation control, while our eDNA engine offers instant access to expertly crafted presets.

Originally rooted in Trinidadian tradition, steel drums evolved from hitting kitchenware to a vital component of Caribbean carnival music. In the realm of film scoring, they've graced notable works by Jaco Pastorius, Cliff Martinez, and Hans Zimmer, and are a staple in global dance and R&B tracks. Frank Ricotti, a percussionist of legendary status, has lent his talent to blockbuster film scores like Inception and Interstellar, solidifying his reputation as one of the industry's finest.
