Nothing takes a nice groove and gives it depth like good percussion. So why then are good percussion samples and loops so hard to come by? Most of the existing percussion sample libraries only highlight a few instruments and they all sound pretty lifeless.

Put your hand over your chest. You feel that? You might think that's the natural beat of your heart receiving blood from your body and pumping it back into your lungs. In one sense, that's what happening - if not, you should stop reading this and seek professional medical attention immediately.

Sometimes you just need to be bold. Nothing passive or pensive. No nuance or subtlety. Sometimes you just need to make a statement ... like neon colors in a world of pastels. Neon is a Concept library put together by producer and mixer extraordinaire, Chris Zane. As the name suggests, these drums are bright, bold and powerful. They are loud and proud. But let’s be clear, they’re not loud simply for the sake of being loud. Our industry is oversaturated with ‘ringy’ and ‘pingy’ indie rock drums and such. These drums are quite a bit more colorful - which ultimately makes them more serviceable and more beneficial. Abstract expressionist painter, Jackson Pollock once said, “Every good artist paints what he is.” Neon is a direct reflection of its designer, Chris Zane. Albums like ‘Matter’ and ‘When the Night’ by Indie Rock legends, St. Lucia demonstrate Chris’s unique producing and mixing style. Neon is full of drums with beautiful ironies and great stories. For example, some of the drums are old but explosive. Some of them are tight and dead without being meek or quiet. The centerpiece of the library is CZ’s custom Eames kit - handmade by Bay Stater, Joe Mac. And then of course, is all the gear - vintage Neves, Pultecs, API, Chandler, old Neumanns, AKG as well as some amazing UAD plugins. All of this comes together to serve as a tasteful tribute to the live room in NYC where Chris has made every record for over 16 years. And if all of this isn’t enough, Neon features performances by That Sound Icon drummer, Paul Mabury.

If you've spent any amount of time listening to the band MUTEMATH, surely at some point you found yourself air drumming your heart out. It happens to all of us. Drummer, Darren King can have that influence on you. He is recognized as one of the most passionate and talented drummers in music and the only thing more brilliant than his playing is his unique approach to capturing his sound. We spent days in the lab with Darren pulling together one of the coolest and most beloved samples libraries in our catalog. Unpolished and filthy in the best way possible, Darren’s drums are processed and pushed hard through API pre amps, various compressors, and Studer and Teac tape heads. This library offers a variety of kicks, snares, toms, and cymbals - all in greatly detailed multi-velocity samples. Couple these multi-velocities with hundreds of one-shots and a host of fully mixed beats and loops by Darren King. This is your opporunity to have the unique drum sounds of one of music’s most creative drummers.

We know what you’re thinking, “What is Virgo?” Virgo is the second largest constellation - and it’s also the name of the most unusual and unblievable drum library in our catalog. No joke. These sounds are so odd, we thought it’d only be appropriate to pair them with a name synonymous with celestial and extra-terrestrial. Taken from the personal archives of grammy-nominated producer, Jamie Lidell, Virgo paves the path for personal expression and creativity. Jamie is a master student of electronic sound. Virgo is an anthology of electronic sounds made through the operation of vintage, analogue gear. Unlike most software applications, Virgo’s grit and rarity comes from old equipment with an emphasis on signal chain, not software. Naturally, this means you could manipulate your current plugins until the sun goes down and never arrive at these sounds. Not necessarily your “meat and potatoes” standard recipe of sounds, we believe this library is full of seasonings and colors that will bring the full array of flavor to your tracks and ultimately take them places they’ve never been. Virgo is not a library for the complacent. Rather, this is a library for the bold-spirited. The musical thrill-seeker looking to take a new set of unconventional, hallucinogenic drum sounds and chase their creativity until it is apprehended. If that’s you, welcome. Originality awaits.

These days, it feels like every kid with a computer is taking (already recorded) drums, adding some compression, some verb, some effects, and calling themselves a sound designer. Don't be fooled by it. As it relates to sound design, Francesco is as pure as they come. He began producing music at the age of 14 and spent his subsequent years learning the nuances of electronic sound and film scoring at the Conservatory in Italy. Not long into his musical journey, he started to understand that in order to create he needed to listen. This set him on a path of self-discovery - listening to what was around him and paying attention to what was in front of him. He soon realized anything could be a musical instrument if he listened well. From here, he began designing sounds from everyday household objects. A printer, a bike, a drill, a water bottle, a spray can, an iPhone, a lamp, a banana ... yes, a banana. The world around him opened up and everything was at play. Francesco maintains that by starting with the most basic objects you already possess, your songs (and the process by which you make them) become instantly more unpredictable.

These were the famous sentiments of Dr. Henry Jekyll - the main character in Robert Louis Stevenson’s late 19th century novel, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. This classic novel beautifully interplays the disputation and dissonance of the good and evil natures that exist inside the human psyche. This dualism of human personalities is the chief inspiration behind Paul Mabury’s sequel That Sound Icon library, Jekyll & Hyde. In this library, Paul seeks to bring to life the binary drum sounds of Jekyll’s tight, clenched kicks, hats, and snares alongside the antagonistic and offensive kick, hat, and snare combinations of Hyde. While Jekyll’s drums are tactful and clean, Hyde boasts sounds that are barbaric, wounding, and uncivil. Read up on the tech specs to learn more about what’s inside and listen to the demo tracks to get a feel for the sounds of Jekyll & Hyde. This collection is a two-in-one in the truest sense. There has rarely existed a pair of drum sounds so different . . . so opposite and contrasting, yet so perfect in their blend together. After you’ve downloaded this library, you’ll start auditioning these sounds for your next track. As you do, this marriage of “good and evil” drum samples and loops will push your creativity beyond the breakers, further into the deep and unrelenting waves of inspiration. And as you begin to mix and match these two distinct set of sounds in your tracks, you’ll find yourself - much like Dr. Henry Jekyll - yearning to express simultaneously, the firm, unsoiled sounds of Jekyll in cooperation with the bold and insolent sounds of Hyde.
