Free Drum Kit – Ace Tone Collection

Wow. You can get much more old school than this. Ace Tone was founded in the late 1960s by Ikutaro Kakehashi, who would later go on to create the world famous Roland, makers of many well-known audio/musical products. This is the first known transitorized beat box. That is to say a electronic drum machine. Or as the user manual described it “a non-mechanical solid state electronic brain incorporating modern precision manufactured transistors”

You won’t get a lot of  thumpy kicks (although it is surprisingly deep for it’s time) or super poppy snares, but you will get some authentic samples that will definitely make you sound different than the rest. Despite the look of the hardware, this little machine could handle it’s own, especially in the latin rhythms.

Layers these with some other percussion or use them to spice up a heavy duty dance beat like Timbaland does it. The key is to get creative with these sounds and know you are injecting a little history into your music with each sound. Remembers good beat makers will make the most of what they have and now you have this.
