What to listen for

Not just a drum sound.
A musical decision.

The goal is never to force the same kit and groove onto every track. Each performance, tuning choice and microphone setup is shaped around the production.

Feel and dynamics

Notice how the groove follows the vocal, arrangement and energy instead of sitting rigidly on top of the song.

Sound selection

Different kits, snares, cymbals and tunings create the right weight, tone and character for each production.

Recording quality

Clear transients, controlled room sound and phase-aligned microphones give you flexible stems that are straightforward to mix yourself or hand to an engineer.

Live percussion tracks

Movement, texture
and detail.

From subtle shaker patterns to congas, tambourines, cajon and timbales, live percussion can add energy and depth without crowding the arrangement.

The sound behind the samples

Captured with
room to mix.

The performances are recorded in an acoustically treated room through professional microphones, Universal Audio converters and Audient preamps.

You receive up to 12 clean, phase-aligned WAV stems, giving you everything needed to shape the drums around your record - whether you mix the track yourself or pass it to an engineer.
