ModeAudio has launched Undercover, a sample library featuring a collection of found percussion samples.

Music can be made with almost anything – as soon as you realise this, your entire home can become an extended musical instrument. Top electronic producers have been using interesting and unusual sources for percussion and drum sounds for decades and now you can too – take a peep inside Undercover – Found Percussion Samples and you’ll discover treasure chests full of this sonic gold!

We scoured our homes and high streets to build up a stockpile of strange and unusual objects and materials to hit, tap, scrape, rub, brush, break and otherwise generate weird and wonderful sounds with!

From firewood and metal tongs to keys, coffee pots, paper baskets (with the paper inside), lighters, glasses and ice, to bottle lids (plus the bottles themselves), beads, velcro, zips, spray cans, canvas chairs, scissors, shears and oh so much more, this release shares a multitude of expertly recorded and processed sounds to add more than several extra layers of spice to your drum tracks.

As as well as the source material, we’ve also professionally blended handfuls of these intricate sounds together to create 30 layered kicks, claps and hi hats – we promise you won’t have heard sounds quite like them before!

The sample pack is available for purchase for £14 GBP.
