EDIT: somehow on render, these files got a silence added at the beginning...sorry, but you'll have to truncate/mark them so they hit right on the pad. :x - also you might want to normalize a couple of snares/toms if they sound quiet prior to loading. Thanks


11 megs of one hits recorded from a DW drum kit with a mix of cymbals.
Recorded in my simple home studio with a 6 mic setup (2 OH, 2 tom, 1 snr, 1 bass).

Lots of long decay cymbals and domes here, something I don't see alot in packs. Most hits in fact have a long natural decay.

Some processing (EQ/comp) but fairly dry sounding except for a couple - some hits are more of a full "kit" sound (ie, all mics on) and others are isolated , like some kicks and snares , for FULL impact. Not all samples are normalized, like high hats and cymbals, to maintain some dynamics.

Free to use of course, and send me a link to your music if you end up using it as the main kit 8)

just flipped thru these bitches, nice work.

micing snares in the hardest recording technique ever. still good work.

I read for micing a snare you should use 2 mics, a bass mic under the snare and a high mic above the snare, still its almost impossible to make them smack crack pop like a 60s/70s recording.

Thanks - yeah i've tried the double mic'ing technique - it worked ok but didn't sound all too much different to my ears.....there are 3 snare samples in there that SNAP pretty hard, i don't recall which offhand but they had some post EQ/compression to give them bite (they'll stand out). The others are a bit more "in the room" but usable for layering/ghost notes/ comp/EQ on sampler first.


Yeah those old 60's /70s snares are great - this is a maple snare here, I really need to get a vintage aluminum/metal snare to get that sound.

i think the pre q and recording to tape will make it more authentic to.

These sound great coming out of my SampleTrak at 16kHz. Thanks again for putting this pack together. I can't wait for the next one!
