Results for Dusted William Sounds

If you have a good look around on the web, I’m sure you will find tons of breaks available for download. Most of them will be samples taken from vinyl records from the 60’s and 70’s.

But what if you want something original? Or to put it like Dusted William:

What do you do when you have a passion for the funk and you crave that old school break beat sound?

You either record a dope ass set of drums played by one cool mofo, in a studio that is tighter than you’re Mama’s blue jeans, on mics that pride themselves on the ability to listen in on the secret conversations of butterflies….

…or you buy the

Earlier this week, Dusted William Sounds released Dirty Dose, a collection of samples from various lo-fi 8bit sources.

The Dirty Dose is a sample set made up of over 500 one shot hits from an Atari 2600, a Commodore 64, and a vintage analog Tama Techstar electronic drum set, all recorded onto 2 inch master tape at ekadek studios. Then finely cut up and sampled, ready for you to drop in your tracks and start living again.

The samples are available in .wav format and kits are available in Guru, Battery 3 and Live Drum Racks formats.

Also included is a collection of 100 MIDI files, which are categorized for the various kits.

The Dirty Dose is currently available for the introductory price of $21.99 USD until June 1^st, 2009 (regular price will be $29 USD). This includes all the formats and MIDI files.

A demo pack of samples can be requested here, and the product page has some mp3 demos and a nice video demo as well. Make sure to check those.

So what do I think?

I have a soft spot for the bleepy sounds of old game systems, so it’s no surprise I’m digging this Dirty Dose pack, a lot. Even though many of the sounds aren’t necassarily ones you would consider for drum kits, Dusted William Sounds manages to create some convincing kits with these samples.

There’s a nice variety of sounds and the recordings sound lovely. The combination of percussion samples and game type sounds works well for that lo-fi 8bit experience. In short, quality vintage samples for a decent price.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a sudden urge to go play River Raid!

Dusted William Sounds has released Funky Ass Drum Loops, a collection of over 100 loops (.wav 16\44.1) in the classic 70’s break beat style.

The loops were recorded in a pristine drum room with, with expensive mics, and an emphasis on a tight and snappy sound. The drums were played by Aaron Pearl and recorded in Spinner Studio’s by Dave Brown.

The drum set Super Funky Ass Drums

Great pains were taken to make the drum room as dry as possible. To do this Spinner Studio painstakingly built a massive amount of absorbant material to control the amount or reflections coming of the wall.

There is a mic on every drum, a set of room mics as well as overheads. A total of 11 channels, all being mixed into one funky stereo track. Each loop is edited and looped to perfection. The loops vary in tempo and are at least 1 – 2 bars long with some fills thrown in for good measure.

Funky Ass Drum Loops is available for download for an introductory price of only $10 US dollars.
