The story

Hi, I made this instrument a couple of years ago. I wanted to try the entire process of sampling drum instrument. My old friend Michal Zubaty provided his own drum kit that he plays. I recorded his drum kit with his settings and tuning in a small room covered by a lot of carpets, blankets and acoustic panels to get tight, vintage, raw sound. I also used non-traditional mic settings – two mics in front of the drums. The first mic (Front MONO) is below and captures dense frequencies. The other one (Front STEREO) is above the cymbals and captures the high frequencies. This combination gives you better control over frequency balancing. This drum kit works well with rock, jazz or funky styles. Each drum was recorded with 8 velocity layers and 4 round robins.

Since there aren’t many free drum kits out there, I believe it will be useful to someone.

  • Great Stuff!

    Don't know what to say other than thanks for making this! Really solid library that can be processed to suit a number of genres!

    There are only a few good free drum libraries that holds this amount of quality. The interface is easy to use and the playability is great.

    My only complaint is that the F# and G# keys for playing open and closed hi-hat samples should switch places.

  • Simply awesome

    Tired of mega processed drums, finally I found a raw one wich sunds amazingly realistic. You can start by zero mixing it and get a real sound of a drum. I recomend it a lot
