KVR Forum member michael2 (aka Rabbit Ears Motel) has released a free drum kit sample pack featuring a set of field recordings which were taken at a playground.
I sampled the playground I take my daughter too: big plastic slides, metal poles, fences, sand grinding underfoot. Sounds pretty silly, but you can put together a pretty cool sounding drum part with this stuff.
it’s not mapped out GM style as it is a pretty random selection of sounds and I put the kit together for that song. you can always just write the part with a standard drum kit and then move the notes to the sound you like in my Playground Kit. there are a lot more sounds than what you hear in the song. if you don’t have EXS you can always just take the audio and throw away the EXS instrument.
Get the free sample pack here and check out Michael’s blog here. I also recommend you check out this track which features some of the samples from the Playground Kit.
