Yes, most definitely. Each time we create a new product, we sit down and create/record all sounds for that pack entirely from scratch, so it is impossible for us to repeat identical sounds across different products in our catalogue.

We are constantly creating new drum packs with fresh, modern sounds, while at the same time 'phase out' any older products that are past their shelf-life. We don't want to sell our customers 'old' sounds, so you can be confident that any pack you buy will have the most up-to-date hip hop drum sounds available.

We have an extensive collection of classic and modern studio equioment including a Neve Mixing Desk, two Urie 1176, Chiswick Reach, Pheonix Compressor, Manely Massive, Various Akai MPCs, Emu SP1200 and an exhaustic array of hardware and digital signal processors (too many to list!). Plus for many packs we utilize local recording studios and musicians to get the signature sound we need.

No, absolutely not - we only add appropriate dynamic processing to our samples (compression, limiting, eq etc). Generally speaking, professional drum samples should never have any kind of delay-type effects added, as it is impossible to remove such effects from samples and as such will make it hard for that drum to sit well in your own mixes. It is far better to add your own reverb to your drum mixes during tracking.

No, this is just a drum sample pack - all our demos contain additional production to help you hear just how these drums sit within a full mix. Please check the technical specifications to see exactly what is included in this pack.
