"Better drums. More placements. That's sort of become the motto as of late, when talking about the "Blap-Kit" drum series. If all 5 BLAP-KITS were brothers, then this latest release, Volume 5, would be the outcast of the family. The dark horse. The outspoken sibling. "BLAP-KIT Volume 5" is meant to break all the rules. Unlike Volumes 1 - 4, Volume 5's kick & snare hits are heavily layered, processed & reverbed/effected just enough to create really inspiring and over-the-top textures. Each sound follows tradition by staying just within "0", but all tweaked just enough to "feel" and "sound" larger than life. For the 1st time ever, we've included vocal "grunts" (James Brown-esq.), weird percussion, more drum-rolls (for those beat turn-arounds) and even long sub-bass stems, which can be used to create basslines or your own 808 kick drums. "BLAP-KIT Volume 5" is a must have for your drum sample collection. Period." - !llmind

"First of all, I just want to say that I'm so humbled and proud to have come this far. When I released Blap-Kit Volume 1 on my old blog site using a 'PayPal Now' button, I had no idea what to expect. At that time, there really was no drum-kit market that existed. None of the music producers on my level were releasing their personal drum kits. Everyone was keeping them for themselves. Now, we've arrive at VOLUME X (10). What a time to be alive! This kit is by far my favorite (I know I say that every single time). Again, almost 250 one-shots in this one (almost 40% more than most of my previous drum kits). I carefully handcrafted each and every kit, this time mic'ing up different snare drums at multiple distances, combining them with some manipulated traditional drum machine sounds. The difference here is that I utilized multi-band splitting to mix and match every sound, along with some hardcore eq'ing and stretching + reverb to create some interesting textures. So here you get a combination of digital & organic, combined into one. Every snare on here is snappy as f*ck. There's some live and snappy claps, as well as some of my favorite recorded percussion, meant to be stacked and layered as you please. The hi-hats in this set are real and live, yet still have that punchy digital character that we love. This kit was meticulous. It's very relevant, and will be for years to come. This kit alone will easily be your GO-TO set, regardless of what genre you're trying to pursue!" - !llmind

"It's that time of year folks. My magnum opus. The reason we are here today. I'm honored to present to you BLAP-KIT VOLUME 9. So what sets this volume apart from the rest, you ask? Well, for starters, I've almost DOUBLED the amount of one-shot sounds you get (roughly 250). The focus for this kit is to act as an all around, true GO-TO for any and all genres and styles. Every single sound is sharper than Valyrian Steel (My Game Of Thrones heads know whats up). I really focused on making sure each texture was balanced, usable, stackable and ready to just plug in and program away. I went tasteful on the reverbs and sustain trails here, so you can easily take these sounds and add your own effects to make them even more custom. There are so many textures here. This will probably be your GO-TO kit that you'll find yourself coming back to the most. What a time to be alive. Now go level up!" - !llmind

"8 years later since BLAP-KIT Volume 1 that changed the game and we're finally here. BLAP-KIT VOLUME 12. Let me keep this short. Imagine if Roland decided to create a brand new 'updated' version of the famous TR808 drum machine. What would you get? A set of snares, kicks, percs, hi hats & EFX that will undoubtedly change the future of music. I carefully handcrafted each and every kit, this time mic'ing up different snare drums at multiple distances, combining them with some manipulated traditional drum machine sounds. The difference here is that I utilized multi-band splitting to mix and match every sound, along with some hardcore eq'ing and stretching + reverb to create some interesting textures.

The 1st one-shot drum kit, tuned to 432hz.

"It's been more than a year since the previous Blap-Kit (Volume 5) was released. That kit was hailed by many as 2013's best drum kit, and debatably one of the greatest drum kits ever released. Of course, it was only right to take things a step further with BLAP-KIT VOLUME 6. Almost 6 full months of intense sound design & attention to detail were put into creating this exciting new volume. I know what it's like to become instantly inspired by NEW and un-heard-of drum sounds, so that's exactly what I've provided. Utilizing a series of advanced frequency manipulation from REAL drum sets (snares, kicks, hi-hats & various percussion), using state of the art vintage reverb machines (such as the AMS RMX16, L480 & a Baldwin Amp) stacked, layered & molded into one of the most innovative drum sets i've ever put together in my life. Interestingly enough, most instruments of today are tuned to our "standard" 440hz frequency. After much research, I've discovered that, in fact, tuning instruments to 432hz (instead of 440) yields a more "harmonious" frequency with the energies around us. Because of this, I've tuned every instrument to 432hz. This is by far my most advanced kit, to date. An absolute must-have for every producer's drum collection!" - !llmind

"Seven is a special number. According to numerology, it resonates with the vibrations and energies of the 'collective consciousness'. I wanted to create a kit that does just that. A COMPLETE KIT that's fit for EVERY genre of modern music. My focus here was on percussion texture and taking hand made instruments, manipulating them into modern day one-shot masterpieces. Almost 7 full months of intense sound design & attention to detail were put into creating this set. This time, I've almost DOUBLED the amount of sounds you typically get in a blap kit.
