The precision played, untreated drum loops and one-shots come structured around the classic soul and funk styles that directly informed early hip-hop breakbeat culture. Played and produced by drumming expert Richard Spaven, the collection brings out the classic dusty-crate aesthetics of traditional sample kits, albeit cut and primed to achieve that old-school, drum-break vibe. Throughout his career, the UK drummer has performed with such hip-hop luminaries as Gang Starr, Flying Lotus, and Cinematic Orchestra—experience he conveys with this rich collection of royalty-free, professionally recorded drum breaks, ready to download now.
