I really only learned of the importance of one shots when I studied with the master Chris Lord-Alge. He taught me how to prepare one shot samples that instantly improved the punch, consistency and clarity of my drum mixes. He also taught me how to increase the added depth and ambient dimension of my drum balances with specific one shots.

Presented here, is a collection of specifically made one shot hits that I've created from my own recordings.

A collection of 15 stereo Kick and 20 stereo Snare one hits in 24 bit WAV format aimed largely at the rock and indie genres.

Each Kick and Snare hit has three variations - A dry version, one with all mic signals (dry, overheads and rooms) and finally, one with the room sound only giving the user over 100 samples to work with.

As a bonus, the pack also includes three sets of toms (each with dry, all signals and rooms only hits), three 'firecracker' snares, three piccolo snares, three snares with wires off and two sidesticks (each with dry and all mic signals hits).

The drier sounding kits were recorded at the Blast Furnace studios in Derry, Ireland and the more expansive kit sounds were tracked in a gorgeous music recital hall, also in Derry.

Drums by Ludwig, Slingerland, Gretsch, Tama, Pearl, A&F, Sonor, Mapex, Ayotte and Rogers were used in the creation of this pack.
