Big Rusty Drums

Samples with sticks, brushes and mallets, snare also recorded with a tambourine on top of it and a small tom on top of it, rim clicks and shell clicks, stirs on both the snare and floor tom, a stack of cheap cymbals, mechanical noises… this kit has a lot of features, many of which you can’t get elsewhere. Where else are you gonna get samples of overgrown Soviet Bloc drums with this kind of detail?
