Standard Beat Company has introduced Boiler Room Beats, a new collection of drum samples and loops.
Loosely influenced by both the architectural qualities of the Standard Beat Co. recording studio and the roomy stylings of mid-nineties Beastie Boys records, Boiler Room Beats gives programmers a set of unique tools to create everything from massive hall beats to intimate down-tuned classics.
We took a makeshift kit, threw some bad mics on the floor, put some classic mics in the hall, and put a really good AEA ribbon overhead. We also sampled various percussion pieces including bongos, cowbell, bodhran, and doumbek.
Boiler Room Beats features
- Multi layer, velocity sensitive drum kit for Native Instruments Kontakt 4 and Battery 3.
- 299 individual hits in 24 bit .wav format.
- 42 processed loops in both .rex and 24 bit .wav formats.
- Composed using all original samples recorded with Lavry Blue conversion.
The sample pack is available to purchase for $29 USD.

Includes 52 played loops in .rex format, a multi layer drum kit for Native Instruments Kontakt 4 and Battery 3, 144 individual hits in 24 bit .wav format, and 41 processed loops in both .rex and 24 bit .wav formats.
Doom Dub was composed using all original samples recorded with Lavry Blue conversion, Oktava, AEA and Peluso mics, and the Placid Audio Copperphone for a distinctly intimate and vintage sound.
Doom Dub is available to purchase for $29 USD.
