The gritty 8 bit sound of a Commodore 64 tends to send chills down my spine. I so love it, I just had to sample it’s drums and share them with you. Hope you enjoy the sample pack. It’s free, of course. To generate the sounds, I used the MSSIAH Drummer, made by the 8bit ventures. The 8bit ventures are the developers of the MSSIAH cartridge for the C64, which lets you control your old computer using MIDI. I’ve included all of the sounds from the default drum kit in this sample pack.
The sample plack includes a total of 22 samples in wav format, 8 of which are kicks, 8 snares, two toms, two hihats, one cowbell and one clap sample, all part of the default MSSIAH Drummer drum kit.

Keep the samples coming.
Very nice! love that sound.
The file size is only 801 KB (as might be expected of 22 short samples).
Why does the page say 38.6 MB? Did you remove some extra files?
omg, that was one massive typo! sorry about the confusion, i’ve fixed it now. the archive size is 800.5 kb, and it’s always been like that. thanks for reporting and enjoy the samples.
Wow! Thanks dude!
I’ve recently been really into 8-bit music, and composing with trackers. I realy needed some drum samples to make music on my DS with NitroTracker.
Just to make sure, these are royalty free right?
I guess so. I’ll give you credit sometimes anyway.
yep, free to use.
enjoy!
thanks so much for these sounds — they’ll keep me going til i get my diy SID up and running!

Awesome samples! Thanks for makin them! C64 is great yay
