SampleRadar: 190 free synth percussion samples
Get your electronic percussion loops here
Percussion to most people means congas, shakers and the like, but you can also add rhythmic interest using electronic instruments.
This week's SampleRadar illustrates this perfectly: our new collection features sounds from various drum machines and a whole lot of processing loveliness.
What you need to know
The synth percussion samples are divided into three folders, two of which contain sounds from the Korg Wavedrum and Vermona DRM1 MkIII and another that contains miscellaneous loops.
All the samples are supplied as WAV files so can be imported directly into your DAW or sampler of choice. Because they're royalty-free, you're welcome to use the samples in your music in any way you like - all we ask is that you don't re-distribute them.
The pure evil samples are supplied in a zip file, so you'll need to extract them before you can see them. Enjoy!
Example sounds
Vermona loop (120bpm)
Misc loop (100bpm)
