I’m starting a new weekly series here on AGZ, once a week I’m going to share a couple sound samples I’ve recorded or created and manipulated.
This one is something I created for a breakdown section on a metal song. They needed a little build up before the breakdown to really “bring teh brootz” and this is what I came up with using an 808 kick sample, a cymbal sample and some processing.
There’s a couple variations of the 808 kick for subdrops and a heavily processed reversed cymbal. I think the 808 kick was recorded out of BOOM but possible came from my extremely unorganized sample library.
Processing done with Reverse, Vari-Fi, Time Compression/Expansion, AIR Frequency Shifter (automated).

Hope you like these and find them useful. More samples next week!


I can always use more drum samples…thanks!
