I have these sets from years ago when they were free for the downloading, but for various reasons not available any more.

Just rename the extension from "h2drumkit" to "gzip" and you should be able to open it with 7zip or similar archive decompression software: Libraries/Main sound libraries/ The Hydrogen project page has some drumkits for download.

Hydrogen drumkits - Being on Linux, Hydrogen is pretty much the only game in town as far as drum machine software, but it's actually pretty darn good, AND there are versions for Mac and Windows. Warning: these can be a bit on the "trashy" side sound-wise, but they work nicely for some gritty, down-and-dirty blues or garage rock. I won't be responsible for the hours of your life you'll never get back searching around the site though.

The site has a lot of drum samples done by different people, and these are the best I was able to find, but it's been a few years so there may be more/better ones if you look around. įreesound - Website of various sounds under various creative licenses. I'm saying this also being an owner of EZDrummer 2 AND Superior Drummer - I often find it easier to create parts in Drummer (in Logic, which is 99% identical to GarageBand when it comes to Drummer), and then just swapping sounds, but not parts.īig Mono - Nice royalty-free drum sample pack digitally sampled from tape recordings: įreepats - Free as in GNU open-source free. That being said, it should honestly take you about 10 minutes to figure it out once you've read/watched a tutorial, and you'll find yourself spending a HUGE amount of time with it just making drum patters because it's so fun/good. Please don't dismiss it because it's free, and part of the app - if you sell it short, it's not because of what it's capable of, it's because you didn't put in the effort to learn it. Seriously, give it a try, and look up some tutorials online - it really can create impressive drum tracks in a huge variety of styles. It's not a "drum machine" per se, more of an algorhythmic drum composer" which you have real time control over with the content, not to mention it has the ability to sync and adapt to your tracks. All in all, saving up for KONTAKT or KOMPLETE when on sale and learning to program your own drums can be remarkably liberating when working with any DAW, and the ability to separate each instrument (all while allowing mics to leak as well) and overheads/room mics gives you so much more control over the sound you want.

I've been using SDII for about a decade now, and use it (with various additional Toontrack libraries) in plus the excellent KONTAKT Session Drummer and 8Dio Zeus.

Get on the Loop Loft's mailing list and wait until they have their big 90% off sales, as the Indie Rock Drums bundle is decent And Loop Loft in general is really high quality stuff for not only having star drummers on board with excellent kit captures and mixes all good to go (the Omar Hakim bundle is one of my favorites), but also for having so many alt loops, fills, and other song structure-based takes in each folder that makes each "song" more flexible to use.īut having control over individual tones with deep-sampling via multiple layers of velocity is why I rarely use loops unless one folder really pops out and fits the mood of a track I'm writing.
