Drum Tools by Wave Alchemy Score Another Rave Review - Future Music

 

This impressive new release from Wave Alchemy contains just under 2,000 individual drum hits in 24-bit and 16-bit WAV format, along with sampler patches in the most common formats, including Battery, Kontakt, ESX24 and Halion.  Although it’s clear that the sounds were designed with minimal techno and Tech House in mind, most of the samples are versatile enough to fit into any production style.

It’s clear that the Wave Alchemy boys have put some serious effort into the creation of Drum Tools 01 and as a result it comes highly recommended for producers of all electronic genres.

Verdict: 9/10
