352 one-shot drum samples, captured from unspecified “analog” sources and compiled into 12 patches for Reason’s Kong, Logic’s EXS24 and Live’s Drum Rack samplers. Under the overarching vintage themes of tastefully saturated transients, full-bodied sustains and chitinous metalwork, there’s a tonal consistency to the sounds within each instrument type – and, indeed, between types – that makes the library feel very cohesive, although that keen focus does go a bit too far at times, with certain hits sounding overly similar. modeaudio.com
