Ever since recording some sounds a few years ago, I’ve been meaning to take the trusty Zoom H2 for another round. I finally took the time to capture another batch of ordinary, and perhaps some less ordinary sounds.
For Rekkerd Sound Recordings Vol. 2 I found a number of interesting objects to hit, drop, slide, slam, press, etc. After a good amount of editing the pack ended up containing 90 samples. Various noises produced by light switches, fans, drawers, and lots more included.
The samples are in 24-bit/44kHz WAV format. Plenty of background noise is included, and those with a good ear might spot one of my kids in some of the recordings. 100% high quality lo-fi!
So why did I record these sounds? Well, I personally love to create rhythms/percussions with unusual sounds so I figure I’m not the only one.
Also included in the pack is a number of such loops that I did exclusively using the recorded sounds and a bunch of processing. You can listen to those loops below.
The pack is a free download under the Creative Commons BY license below, and you can gGet some more free loops and samples here.

You’re very welcome, Shannon. I hope to have another free sample pack out soon.
Thanks for this fantastic pack, i can make my own one shot drum with clean and original sound ! Excellent as usual !
Thank you :D These will be put to great use now in my tracks :) always looking for new interesting quirky sounds to use
Peace
thanks man. i used to record with minidisc, and pick up all kinds of mechanical chatter. i love my H2, very low noise, good value. captures detailed ambiance like an audio microscope. plus it looks like a startrek gadget. now whats the next generation?… H2n even awesomer!
These sounds are great – very inspiring, thanks! I finally got round to uploading a track I did with percussion just from this sample pack (made into a Battery kit). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KhYP485FKo

Thanks, I’ve only just had a swift dabble with them in live but that will not be an end to what abuse these are ripe for man. Cheers for sharing and I still really like them Zoom H2N pocket recorders, Appreciate the hard work very much. Best to you and your’s mate :)
