Sample Squad is offering a complete 45-sample metal dumbek pack at no cost, as a holiday season gift.

The pack can be downloaded from box.net (10MB)

Note: The password for the ZIP file is “christmas2007″. Be mindful that it’s all lowercase with no spaces or otherwise it might not unpack the first sample if you get the password wrong the first time.

It will be available from December 15, 2007 through January 15.

Additionally, if you purchase all the sample packs authored by Shane Sanders during this same period of time, half of the proceeds will go to SightSavers.org, a charity that combats blindness in impoverished regions.
