The ultimate compressor for drum bus glue.

JST Bus Glue BG-Drums is a flagship compressor from Joey Sturgis Tones designed specifically to address drum bus compression needs in any mix. This workhorse audio plugin brings a variety of flavors and character to your drum bus, unmatched by any other drum bus processor.


The foundation of any song is the beat and the drum sound that plays that beat. JST Bus Glue BG-Drums is the first of many in a series of bus compressors designed to "glue" each of your mix buses together in exciting ways. With JST Bus Glue BG-Drums, not only will you have full control over the dynamic gel that drives the punch in your drum bus, but you'll also discover new and interesting sounds that bring a whole new life to your mixes.

Four Levels of Punch

  • Tight (Least Compressed)
  • Open
  • Fat
  • Boom (Most Compressed)

Compression Strength

Once you've selected a compression mode, dial in how hard it works with a straightforward Comp Knob from Low to Medium to Max strength.

Mix Control

Blend the compressed and uncompressed signals for parallel compression and punch with the Mix Knob.

Makeup Gain

For proper gain staging, use the Output Knob to set the perfect output level from the plugin.

Metering & Threshold Override

See the amount of gain reduction applied by your compressor and use the meter screw to transform JST Bus Glue BG-Drums from a fixed-threshold compressor to a user-defined threshold value.

About Bus Glue

Bus Glue is a series of Bus Compressors designed to excel at controlling the dynamics of specified mix bus groups in a mix using a variety of compression and saturation types combined with over a decade of mixing knowledge and lots of practical field testing across several genres of music.

The goal was to come up with a set of compressors that could do something other compressors weren’t made to do. Most compressor designs are too broad in application and that is why you typically need to stack compressors or insert other processors in your bus chain to achieve desired results.

However, Bus Glue compressors are about as specific as you can get by design, but that’s what makes them so useful. By using Bus Glue as your dynamic control across your various mix busses, you’ll expand your dynamic palette while crafting a whole new sound that is unrivaled by other compression processors.

BG-Drums

BG-Drums gives good sound to percussion instruments. It is about softening and rounding the tone, which leads to a good final sound when mixing.

Take the bus

this is nice to put on your drum bus channel pre mixing for low cpu to get a good sound, then add EQ. Or whatever
You like when your mixing if needed

Demo this - before they realise what it's really worth.

Wow. Just wow. I own several high end outboard compressors and what I previously thought were the best plugin comps for drums and I’m just using them less and less. I originally bought this plug (Bus Glue - Drums) as a “placeholder” plugin, just to get a quick bit of glue whilst tracking additional instruments. And that’s what it was used for initially. But as I started mixing in earnest, this plug just kept floating to the top when trying different comps for the task. I was initially impressed by it, now I’m floored by it. Don’t let the price fool you, this comp sounds very high end and is flexible enough for just about any type of music.
