ATTENTION: Producers Download 100+ Free Sounds "Who Else Wants Warm, Punchy,
Dear Friend who loves tight drum sounds, I have some questions for you: Have you purchased hundreds; even thousands of drum sounds… only finding a handful of gems among the clutter? Are you often irritated when sifting through countless sounds, devastating your creative flow? Do you fight with samples to make them tight, slamming, and club ready… Have you fantasized about the multi-million dollar deal or winning the lottery so you can stack your studio with all the esoteric high end gear? Does your music command you have the latest kit, to gain the advantage and stand apart from the masses? If you answered “YES!” to any of these questions, then you are in the right place and the right time. Here’s the REALITY… Managing sloppy, disorganized, and weak drum samples SUCKS. It rips you out of your creative state, weakening your confidence. You waste your most invaluable assets- YOUR TIME and ENERGY... On the other hand, Having perfectly edited, organized samples blasts your creativity through the roof. When your drums are a lock, you have the amazing confidence to focus on the more important things…Like perfect hooks, world tours, and parties on the beach while your promoter foots the bill. How do I know all this? Do I have a Magic 8 Ball giving me insight into the struggles of a music producer? Not so much… Unfortunately I had to learn the hard way. I’ve lived that life for 15 years.
You need these Three Things from an
1. Inspired, Well Organized Sounds Often we find 240 kick drums of 80 textures thrown in a folder without any rhyme or reason. This forces you to spend time searching, instead of doing what you are called to do... produce music.
2. Drums tightly edited to the perfect zero crossing with natural decays. While you could go in and edit the sound, that breaks your creative flow and pushes you into the technical grey zone. Who wants to do tedious work when composing?
3. Carefully recorded electronic drum sounds captured directly from the source. You see countless drum samples floating around online from lossy compressed, eq’d and digitally limited recordings. Many of these drums are clipped with 0dB headroom, captured with radio shack cables, converted to 24bit, then edited and bulked together. What you need is a drum library indistinguishable from the analog counterpart.
Imagine if you had a perfectly edited,
A library designed to keep you in the creative flow all the time, recorded directly from the source through some of the best equipment in the world. Do you hear what I’m talking about? I can’t tell you how many years I’ve wasted trying to make bad drum samples work… stings to think about it. The good news is that I’ve already done ALL the tough and boring work of editing, categorizing, and tweaking for you. That heavy weight can be lifted from your shoulders. And that’s not the best part. Not even close.
"How I stumbled on a technique for adding PUNCH, WARMTH, and DEPTH to
Searching for a way to make soft-synths sound like their analog counterparts, some pros who pointed me in the direction of the Thermionic Culture Vulture*. I was grateful for this wisdom, because this thing did sound good on soft-synths. But when I plugged the Elektron Machine Drum* into the Thermionic Culture Vulture, something happened to lift it to the next level. This digital drum machine seriously took on a new life. It sounded like a FULL-TILT ANALOG drum machine (thick, juicy, and warm). The versatile Machine Drum compounded with hyped harmonics and Analog Tube glory gave birth to a fresh drums sound. A Frankensteinian ANALOG + DIGITAL hybrid. It’s ALIIIIIIIIIVE! There was only one problem… I had one Culture Vulture, the Machine Drum has 8 outputs.
How did I MULTIPLY this Magic?
I started capturing 24-bit samples, urgently trying to capture lightning in a bottle. When I played back a sequence using ONLY the new sampled drums, my balls hit the floor... I wasn’t even equalizing, compressing, or limiting the samples! I HAD to show off to my friends, so I invited some producer friends over to listen. You know the feeling when you get something new and have to brag a little bit. I’m a helpful guy at heart, so I gave my friends the new sounds. The damn fiends wanted more. And so did I. Like any true addict, I decided to RISK EVERYTHING. I emptied my retirement account and bought all NEW drum machines and MORE coloration devices. I was determined to do whatever it took to create the library of our dreams. I went all out in a “no-holds-barred blaze of glory” Check out the shopping list! SYNTHESIS SOURCES: Elektron Machine Drum* ANALOG PROCESSING: Thermionic Culture Vulture*
A major breakthrough in Drum Processing?
Have you ever heard the LEGEND of the MPC3000s* and the EMU SP1200s*? A producer will spend 1000's of dollars on these machines for their ability to add magic dust to drum sounds. See, what makes the MPC3000s and SP1200s so special was the quality of DRIVE added on the input. That drive adds natural compression, limiting, and HARMONIC DISTORTION, making the drums appear louder, warmer, and punchier. Have you ever heard an acoustic guitar recording vs. a driven guitar recording? Play them at the exact same level and the DRIVEN guitar will appear to be louder. This is the exact thing that was happening with my drums. They became louder, sharper, and driving without resorting to obscene amounts of limiting. It was like those legendary drum machines, but better, because the color and drive is chosen uniquely for each sound on an individual basis.
Who Is This For?
I made this library for the producers who pour their blood and sweat into every track. Producers who search all the forums, read all the blog posts, and subscribe to all the magazines looking for the next cool toy to lift their work to the next level. This is for the producers who NEED the best drums to stay ahead of the game. This is for the artists who want to create, instead of waste time editing and searching. This is for the musicians who want hitting warm sounds out of the box, instead of laboring to get THAT DRUM SOUND with 100s of plug-ins or spending 10,000s of dollars on hardware. This is for us... INTRODUCING : DRIVEN MACHINE DRUMS 1,684 perfectly edited PREMIUM sounds for immediate drag and drop results. “Your sound is TIGHT, PUNCHY, CLEAN, CRISP, and well thought out, with a little bit of AIR and EDGE… -Michael Angel, CDSoundMasters
Here Is What You Get
ATTENTION: CLASSIC HARDWARE SAMPLER USERS (Like the MPC-2000)
SOURCE INSTRUMENTS: DIGITAL ANALOG HYBRIDS: ● Elektron Machine Drum ● Korg ER-1 This little box sounded like the BIG DOGS when juiced by Tubes, Tape, and Transformers. ● Symbolic Sound Kyma Capybara THE BIONIC DRUM MACHINES (aka THE 6 MILLION DOLLAR HITS): ● E-mu SP-1200 BE AWARE. When combined with the Coloration Command Squad (AKA the DIRTY EIGHT) these are NO LONGER yo momma’s drum machines… ‘cause these beats are F-F-FRESH. I JUST COULDN’T STOP: ● Yamaha DX200* MORE ANALOG THAN ANALOG: ● Roland TR-909, TR-808, TR-606● Jomox MBase 11 ● Vermona DRM-1 MKIII Thru the BOMB SQUAD BELOW… f’ing fuggedaboutit
ANALOG PROCESSING: Every single one of these devices has a unique sonic signature, giving character where there wasn’t any, and accelerating what was already there. TUBES: TRANSFORMERS: If you work soley in a computer based workstation, you might not know about the added magic brought by authentic tubes and transformers. These are pro engineers’ secret weapons. There is a reason why large tube and transformer based vintage consoles still command a premium price. Many expensive compressors gain their unique character from driving the tube or transformer input stage. You’ll be impressed by how authentic digital compression can sound on your drum buss, because the drums have the input drive already captured. HARDWARE TAPE EMULATION: The ATS-1 produces great sounding tape distortion, but that’s NOT how I choose to use it. I applied the ATS-1 subtly as a synthesis tool ONLY when it sonically enhanced the body and tone of the drum sound. There are already good and distorted tape drums out there on the Internet. This is something entirely NEW. ANALOG ENVELOPE SHAPERS: Occasionally I added some additional envelope shaping using the devices above. The Mutronics Mutator was made famous by Radiohead and Daft Punk, while the Moog Filter was made famous by practically everyone else. The Empirical Labs Distressor was used exclusively as an envelope shaping option, never as a coloration device. As you can see, I had that covered.

P.S. I know one thing... a new LM-1 cost $4,000 in the 80s (and that was 80s dollars). A famous artist formally known as The Artist bought that machine and created an anthem called "When The Doves Cry". 25 years later, for the cost of ONE Nike shoe (not even a pair), you can grab this entire 1,684 sound collection today. Or you can walk around with one shoe : )
