NSA Custom Series Drumkit, free acoustic drumkit samples by Dean aka ‘Nekro’

Related: , , , , Posted in samples on Sep 02, 2010

Dean (aka ‘Nekro’) wrote in to share a nice collection of acoustic drum samples, recorded a few years ago when Dean was working with Pro Tools HD, using Drumagog & Sound Replacer.

The people whom I have shared them with seem to find them good/usuable and I still use them myself layered with Toontrack’s rompler’s for as ‘real’ a drum sound as possible.

The sample pack includes a total of 777 samples, 16bit/44kHz mono .wav format (132 MB).

There are separate folders for cymbals, hihat, kick, snare, and tom sounds. Most file names include info on the recorded channel — L/R/M(ono), and if you take a close look you should be able to figure out how to use the multi-samples to create sampler patches (none are provided in the download pack, if anyone makes some please share).

Here’s a tune in which Dean is using the samples offered here in combination with Toontrack’s Superior Drummer 2 and EZdrummer, followed by some preview clips for all of the samples included in the pack.

The pack is available as a free download below (Zip archive, 53.9MB)

  • SWTrex

    Dean – Thanks for making these great-sounding samples available!

    Could you perhaps help all of us out by giving us a guide in how the samples are named? I would like to take a stab at programming a kit out of these (probably sfz format), but I don’t know where to start.

    Thanks,
    SWTrex

    Nice samples!!

    It would be great if we have a little explanation on how files are named. It would be easier to create a patch on a sampler.

    Thank you!

  • Kendall Murray

    Hey! Thanks for the samples. Can we use these samples in songs and then sell or make profit off of the songs? Or are these drums just for personal use?

  • http://rekkerd.org ronnie

    @Kendall, you can use the samples in commercial songs, no problem.
