This pack is the first in a fresh new collection of samples from Samplecraze incorporating some interesting new dynamic techniques that entail M/S, polarity inversions and phase offsets at varying degress. This affords even wider sounds than the norm with specific frequency removals to allow for even more in depth layering.

With this new approach in mind I am more than happy to offer this monster pack that contains a select choice of drum and bass samples that span across 400 samples in total.
Broken down into 336 super wide and deep drum samples: 96 low end punished kicks that are the thickest and deepest Samplecraze has even released, 96 super layered, biting and wide snares that savage through the mix, 48 of the sweetest and wettest layered claps to date and 48 hi hats that have immense presence and sparkle. This completes the drum sample section.

But a low end sample pack is never complete unless it has a dedicated bass loop section. 70 low end barrier breaking bass loops, ranging from 80 BPM to 95 BPM, from upright funk to downright filthy subs and spread over 40 specific and varied riffs these loops contain tempo and key information and are Acidized for ease of use.

Ministry Of Rock 2 was put together with one goal in mind: to create a virtual (software) instrument capable of producing sounds that could actually produce a hit record or film score without any live drum, bass, or guitar overdubs. The articulations and programming were all reverse engineered from actual performances. The 57 gigabyte collection features LIVE technology that enables multi-sampled drums to sound like a live performance.

Produced by Nick Phoenix and recorded at the Legendary EASTWEST Studios.
