Get it right from the start, and everything else falls into place. Whether you are building huge modern productions, soft vulnerable tracks, or aggressive mixes that need to cut through dense guitars, the right kick sound sets the standard for the entire track.
The Kick Collection was built to give producers instant access to powerful, mix-ready kick drums without sacrificing flexibility or control.
Featuring 10 versatile kicks captured in both open and dampened configurations, this collection covers everything from huge resonant low-end to tight controlled punch.

"These samples are absolutely gorgeous. I love to mix & match various overheads, snare bottom, and room samples on every mix that I do."
— Jesse Ray Ernster (Mix Engineer)Doja Cat, Burna Boy, 1x Grammy Winner
"Enjoying these samples, especially The Wood Snare Collection! I used the Yamaha Beech on Judas Priest - blending it with Scott’s snare worked really well.
I’ve received a lot of compliments on the snare sound!"
— Andy Sneap (Producer/Guitarist)Judas Priest, Dream Theater

— Chris Baseford (Producer/Mixer)Avril Lavigne, Nickelback, Rob Zombie, Daughtry

— Jack Collins (Guitarist/Songwriter)Dead Poet Society
