Ruffrider Free Drum Kit Samples

Ruffrider

This is an early attempt at creating good sounding sampled drum kit. It’s somewhat raw sounding, in good and bad way, with mild analog “before-the-tape” processing. The preamps used were just plain generic. The recording environment was also less than ideal. It could’ve been improved in many ways, but was left “as is” to get a different sound compared to other more pristine kits. And boy does this kit have balls. Forget about bossa nova with this and bash ’em to high heavens.
