Splice Originals Dead Drums Midtempo by Sean Hutchinson

The acclaimed Dead Drums series returns with its second installment. Master session drummer Sean Hutchinson—a top-tier touring and recording musician for Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, and Bleachers—presents a collection designed for the modern groove. While the first volume explored the world of downtempo, this follow-up hits the sweet spot of the pocket, focusing on the essential 100 to 120 BPM range.

These aren’t your typical "roomy" drums. Each kit was captured close and direct to eliminate unwanted acoustics and deliver a bone-dry, intimate sound that sits right at the front of a mix. To ensure maximum character, every hit was processed through a vintage tape machine for authentic analog warmth and natural saturation.
