That Sound has released Look Mum, No Drums, a “Concept collection” drum sample library designed by Italian sound designer and beatmaker, Francesco Pellegrin.
The library features drum sounds made from everyday, ordinary objects, including paper, playing cards, a bike, coffee and more.
Have you ever been drumming on the kitchen counter with your hands and loved the way it sounded? Or heard the “thump” from closing the trunk of your car and thought, “Man, that’d make a great kick drum”? It’s happened to all of us at some point.
As much as we love to record actual acoustic drums, the truth is some of the best drums are already well within our reach. The wobbly table at your local coffee shop. The hangers in your coat closet. A coke can. A bag of chips. The trash can in the room you’re in right now. Drums are all around us, and nothing preaches this truth like Look Mum, No Drums — a drum sample library from Italian sound designer and beat maker Francesco Pellegrin.
With Look Mum, No Drums, Francesco has taken the ordinary things we use every day and turned them into a collection of serviceable drum samples you’ll return to time and time again for truly special and unique drum production. These are everyday objects recorded and reimagined into modern production drum samples.
