Lots of people sample classic drum kits which make familiar sounds. This is very different. Every drum in this kit is a snare. There’s a relatively normal 14" snare, a deep 13" snare converted from a tom, and a giant 22" snare we constructed specifically for the purposes of sampling. Even the kick is a 20" marching band bass drum with two sets of microsnare wires under the reso head. We put this kit together specifically for the purposes of sampling it, starting with making the 22" snare and then looking for pieces to match it.

Now free, this was our first commercial sample library, which grew out of trying to find ways to sample snare drum brush techniques in a flexible way. No, nothing here is played with sticks. It also contains some unique things, especially the percussion: brushed cowbell, darbouka, djembe and bongos and a cajon used as a kick. There’s also a China cymbal and a few cracked or broken cymbals.

While working on Three Tagelharpas, we also recorded this library of the bass tagelharpa played pizzicato – which is definitely not the main traditional use for any kind of tagelharpa. It was created with repetitive pulses in mind, so there are five different types of pizzicato with up to six round robins, plus percussive FX. It adds up to over 500 samples and 180 MB.

Just like Dr. Viktor Frankenstein tried to put together the best parts of various humans, Frankensnare lets you create your own snares from a wide array of acoustic snare samples, from giants the diameter of a kick drum to a tiny 10" one, and also including the mad science "sympathy snares", which are recordings of a kick drum making six snares buzz sympathetically at once. There are also several varieties of claps, guitar chiks, and a tambourine. Over 3500 samples of snare drums, with an SFZ instrument built for layering.

Free Download Karoryfer Samples Big Rusty Drums v1.100 for Sforzando | 599.9 Mb
Drums that are not nice and easy, but nice and rough! Samples of drums made by Zygmunt Szpaderski in a one-man workshop in Poland. They’re big, and they’ve gotten kind of rusty over the decades. We matched them with an even larger floor tom made from an Estonian-made RMIF kick drum, and some nice modern cymbals. While we paid the equivalent of $111.68 for the Szpaderski kit with hardware, stands and cymbals, the Sabian ride cost more than four times as much, and we don’t care – they are a good match sonically.
