Build the Rhythm, Then Add the Musical Layers

The drum sounds provide the starting point for programming a custom hip hop groove. Begin with the kicks and snares to establish the main rhythmic framework, then use claps and percussion to develop the pattern with additional hits.

Because the samples are chopped, each element can be arranged independently inside your DAW. You can decide where individual sounds sit in the pattern and adjust the arrangement as the track develops.

Explore Sounds, Loops, and Vinyl Keys

The pack goes beyond basic drum hits with sounds, loops, and Vinyl Keys. These elements can provide different starting points for a production. A loop can form the basis of an idea, while the drum samples can be programmed around it, or you can build the rhythm first and bring in the additional material afterward.

The Vinyl Keys give you another musical category to explore alongside the drum and loop material. Try using them as part of the main idea or as a layer that appears in selected sections of the arrangement.

WAV-Compatible Production

The sounds work with any program that reads WAV files, with FL Studio provided as an example. You can load the samples into your preferred DAW and combine them with your existing instruments and production tools.

Kanye West (Windy City Drum Kit) is also royalty free, so the included samples can be used in your productions without a separate royalty requirement.
