Kickers is a free sample pack released by AntiSample, featuring a collection of electronic bass drum samples which were crafted from scratch using a selection of analogue synthesizers.
The pack contains 30 electronic kick drum samples which are suitable for use in modern styles of electronic music such as house, techno, electronica, as well as for cinematic sound design. The kicks are really well made, requiring no additional processing except for the standard EQ and dynamics treatment which is normally used to make the sounds better fit your mix.
All of the samples included in the Kickers sound library are available in WAV format and they are completely royalty free for use in music projects, podcasting, radio, film, etc. Take a look at the included License Agreement text file for further details.
Kickers also includes an instrument patch for NI Battery (please note that the full version of NI Battery is required in order to use the provided patch without any limitation). A Kontakt version of the sample pack is scheduled for release in the weeks to follow. If you’re looking for a powerful freeware drum sampler which you can use to load these samples, you should definitely check out Quad Zamp (32-bit VSTi plugin format for Windows) which was recently re-released by Zvon.
