Unusual Drum Sample Pack

Hi folks,
Here is a new sample pack by me.
You might know my earlier drum packs.
But this time I decided to go for something new.

My earlier packs were very much inspired by the techno and hardcore drum sounds that exist already.
Which was "rational", as I played them on so many hardcore and techno gigs.

But I wanted to change this a bit. We can't all use the same drums for all eternity - am I right?

So I tried to create *new* sounds. And experiment a bit!
And some of the results are really strange and bizarre. Drums that sound more like a laser gun fight, a bass-heavy gong, or huge objects going boom!

But it's still inspired by the well-known gabber and techno sounds. So there are more plain drums in here, two.

Something for everyone, I reckon? Or I hope!

There are also soft drums, hard drums... very noizy drums.

And all designed with the dancefloor and dance-crazy crowds in mind!

Of course you don't need to just use them for "techno" genres... fit them in your goth tracks, vgm, folk rock, neo prog... whatever!

License: Feel free to use these samples for any public, private, intimate, or commercial purpose.
Would be *very* cool if you credit me, but it's not strictly necessary.

Background:

I'm a Hardcore / Techno producer for 30 years.
Played at tresor.berlin and plenty of other places.
Etc etc

Like most Hardcore producers, I am addicted to bass drums!
And I hope to give something back to new or other producers with these sample packs.

List of drums:

1. 27 plain / techno kicks
Soft kicks that can be used right away... or boosted, eq-d, distorted

2. 56 hardcore kicks
Drums for the hardcore heads and gabber fiends!

3. 9 experimental kicks
more experimental type stuff... maybe for electro or indie pop?

4. 43 titan kicks
now we are talking... tried to create very unusual drums here, with a deep, low-punching sound. also very metallic
like coming straight from the depths below.

5. 25 noisy kicks
this is just pure noize, drums are barely recognizable... for extreme genres like industrial or speedcore.

Sonic Itinerancy Diary - 11.02.2026 - Scottish Tea, Dog Tags, And Working on an Omnicore Release

I jumped on my bike to work on another underground culture project. And to fulfill my duty to the sonic itinerancy project. ( https://thehardcoreoverdogs.blogspot.com/2025/05/1-12-years-of-sonic-itinerancy-project.html )
I did not want to go. It was cold, it was dark, it was rainy. But I felt I had to.

As I rode down the Hamburg streets, and cars zoomed by me, I felt tired and exhausted. I thought about heading to a restaurant. But I had eaten well at lunch. And I started to freeze to the bone. Restaurants were far away.

I passed by a supermarket. I made a quick decision. I jumped off my bike to get inside. A few minutes of warmth and light. Then I could continue the journey.
The bike parking spot had attachments and signs, for pet "owners" to chain their dogs onto, while shopping.
Fitting to me, the small scale "hardcore techno overdog" that I am.

When I went inside, I saw they had a café attached to the market. I went inside, couldn't decipher the list of coffee drinks on the wall several metres away, and decided I need to upgrade my glasses in the near future.
As I asked the service person, I was told they had "scottish tea" as well, so I went for that one a piece of cake. Cheesecake.

I began working, and finished the work related to a release on Omnicore Records.

My spirits restored, I traveled on.

This journey is a good example on how even a slight detour - or blatantly giving up halfways - still leads us to our destination.

The release was put out later that day.

And here is the finished work!

King Cog & Friends - Catch You By Your Js

Omnicore Records is proud to present a remix EP by King Cog.
Several famous and / or infamous names in the hc underground set themselves to the task of remixing his track "Catch you by the Js".

The general vibe is "early hardcore / 90s gabba", but there is something out of the ordinary here.
While most releases these days focus on the same style over and over again (big kick + juno sweeps + horror samples), this one sweeps through the whole range of retro and newschool styles.
Gabber, Speedcore, Doomcore, Bouncy, Slowcore.
It is all going down here!

Plus one additional track by the King.

FusionCore Techno Project 01

Hello Wolves and Dogs,
It's time to unveil a new project.
The "FusionCore Techno" concept.
It was born out of a brainstorming session by The Gabber Elders (a Gabber Elder brainchild!).
Partly inspired by Nikaj's "Mainstream Pollution".

The idea is to fuse Hardcore and Techno with one other style. In a mix set, but also possibly in other ways (tracks? visuals? albums? global tours? - "hello New Zealand!").

In the past, some DJs did multi-genre or sound-clash mixes (for example in the earliest days of "dance music"...)

The FusionCore idea is kinda the opposite idea of that.

Because in multi-genre mixes, you would for example spin a gabber track, then opera, then synth pop... and these sounds... do *clash*!
And that's good, because this is abrasive, abrupt, adrenaline...
But the opposite is good as well. Instead of doing a "clash", of going as far apart as possible... you can also try to fuse, mend, blend, smoothen genres.

Let me explain what I mean.
Say, someone would mix a set with gabber and rap. Then the DJ might choose tracks that fit to the rap theme. For example, gabber tracks with hip hop samples. Or that "fit" in another way.
Yet... the more far apart the different tracks are, the more of a challenge it'd be to fuse them... and this could be interesting as well.

It will be a deliberate and difficult act of balance, that's for sure.

Some examples for fusions would be:

Making a mix with Speedcore tracks and Death Metal songs.
Making a mix with Hip Hop and Gabber (I already mentioned that).
Making a mix with Video Game Music and Hardcore Techno.
And and and...

Another option is that it is not two discrete styles, but a vector.
For example making a mix with Gabber, Acid, Trance, Techno (cuz they all are a part of the same "style arrow").

The sky is limited! [sic!]

So let's get ready for some interesting fusions in (and of) the future.

If you are interested to join in with a mix or two, contact us at: tapeductseven@gmail.com

Here is the first mix in the series:
