SOUND LIKE
Nevermind Drum Samples
This pack is inspired by Nirvana’s game-changing second album—a moment in music history where grunge’s raw intensity collided with the slick, polished production of the '90s. Built for power, punch, and crystal-clear impact, these stadium-shaking drums are designed to cut through even the heaviest guitar walls. Get ready to unleash pure, unfiltered energy.
Our largest Sound Like drum library yet—packed with 3.5GB of high-quality samples! We've expanded the cymbal section to include 8 round robins for greater realism. Plus, the Kontakt version features an all-new, advanced interface, giving you full control over every microphone for complete customisation.
"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
"I’ve been using the kits on all our latest demos and they sound killer! Nice work!!"
— Jack Collins (Guitarist/Songwriter)Dead Poet Society
"Amazing samples clearly made with care. I've used them in recent sessions and got great feedback on the drum sound. Highly recommend to any songwriter or producer looking for fresh, high-quality drums. It’s a go-to for me now."
— Max Helyer (Guitarist/Songwriter)You Me At Six

Emulating Excellence
We've carefully recreated the signature reverbs used by Andy Wallace, who mixed the Nevermind album. The Lexicon 480L and Lexicon PCM90 reverbs are emulated on dedicated faders, along with an additional white noise layer in the snare reverb—just as Andy used in his mixes. These are labelled Short and Long Verb.
We've also included two extra microphones for added versatility - a Shure Beta 91A on the Kick which is labeled condenser and a Beyerdynamic M201 on the Snare Top which is labelled dynamic 2. These mics weren’t used on the original Nevermind recording but add extra tonal options to the library.
