me Kit
This kit takes its inspirations and samples from soul and disco records, vintage drum
machines and synths that were treated, all the while maintaining the spirit of the origi-
nal sound. The result is a supreme blend of bass drums, claps and snares with slight
variances to keep it lively. The snares are quite restrained and work best together with
claps. The shakers also t well as a hihat replacement or in addition. For those seeking
a more sophisticated deep house set.

makeover. This kit feels at home with the upwardly electro and hip-hop clientele, but

tery, others have been pampered with external lters, distortion and EQ.

Metamorphic Kit
All worshippers of minimal house, Detroit house, organic techno, avant-house, hip-
hop or any other warm and wide futurisms, will make offerings to this god of a drum
kit. Avoiding the sterility of the average kit, these multi-faceted acoustic sounds were
treated to a digital jackhammering. dc_cletamb for example, is set at different ve-
locities for slight variations--the quality of the tambourine remains but undertones
change. Subtlety and atmosphere are the drivers, and the in-your-face punches and
kicks are the engines. Get ready for an interstellar smackdown!

Sgerman Kit
Gritty noises generated using standard drum sounds run through a Sherman qmf lter-
bank for an extra dose of rudeness. Serve it up as a stand alone or use it for layering
over existing drum parts to fatten them up and add some extra dirt. Since these are
not your conventional drum kit hits, its great to experiment with extreme settings on
parameters like tuning and ADSR. Try them on tracks that need lth!
