After many months of creative sound design and sonic manipulation we are extremely proud to announce the release of Drum Tools, a timeless collection of finely crafted drum samples for electronic music production…

Drum Tools 01 Deluxe offers over 5800 exquisitely produced drum samples. All drum sounds in the collection have been built from the ground up using a jaw-dropping array of analogue circuitry and exclusive high-end outboard gear. Great care has been taken to capture the tone / vibe and warmth of the equipment used and all sample editing and file naming has been done by hand for maximum precision.

The drum samples in Drum Tools 01 have been created by the creative layering and processing of drum machines, exotic synthesizers / modulars, field recordings and the recording of live drum and percussive instruments.

Drum Tools 01 is an essential purchase for anyone looking for high quality, 100% original drum samples. Although designed with Minimal Techno & Tech House music in mind, Drum Tools 01 would also make an essential toolkit for producers of EDM, Deep House, Dubstep, Bass Music or even Down-Tempo styles.
