Revival Bass Drum Sample Library: Volume 2

At the foundation of the modern song is the one-two punch of a kick and a snare, laying a fundamental beat upon which a symphony of melodies can be layered. In pursuit of that foundation, José Medeles (1939 Ensemble, The Breeders) presents a selection of vintage bass drum sounds, the second offering in his curated Sample Library of unique and valuable tones for studio or stage.

Once again partnering with producer Mark Powers and engineer John Askew, this package offers the sounds of 37 vintage and famed bass drums–captured by four classic microphones–in a collection totaling 2,220 unique samples. Perfect as a companion to the snare samples of Volume 1, this collection is sure to bring another layer of authentic, organic rhythm to lock down your next groove.
