This sample pack was part of a college summer research project that I had worked on for over the past month. Throughout that time, I had worked eight hours a day recording my drum set, a Tama Superstar five-piece kit right in my basement/home studio. I always found the idea of sampling my instruments fascinating and wondered how detailed I could get into delivering the most realistic and authentic sounds possible. I then decided that for each drum to achieve its best sound, was to include at least five different velocities with four additional round-robins. This allows for each drum sample to have a complete set of dynamic range and variations that give it a humanistic touch when played. That is the formula I used to create this sample pack, and applied it to the other two additional drum presets that is included in this pack. Each preset has its own unique quality and character to it that was individually sampled in various spaces and effects. As a drummer, I have always loved the art of experimenting and exploring different sounds of my instrument to find inspiration for building a new type of sound. Sampling these was the perfect solution to give artists, composers, and producers a wide range of sounds that stand in both quality and character.

This is my first sample pack I have ever created; I have had no prior experience with how to properly organize and use XML code. Creating this sample pack taught me a lot in a limited time frame and has overall improved my mixing and production skills. I am super excited to finally share my project to all of you and I hope you will find this pack to help find a strong rhythm foundation for your creations.
