After many months of creative sound design and sonic manipulation Wave Alchemy is extremely proud to announce the release of their first Drum Tools library. Drum Tools 01 “Minimal Techno & Tech House” by Wave Alchemy offers over 1900 exquisitely produced electronic drum samples. And for a limited time, MacOSXAudio.com visitors can download a free 150-sample “taster” pack (see below).

All sounds in the collection have been built from the ground up using a jaw­dropping array of analogue circuitry and exclusive high­end outboard gear. Great care has been taken to capture the tone & vibe and warmth of the equipment used and all sample editing and file naming has been done by hand for maximum precision. The drum samples in Drum Tools 01 have been created by the creative layering and processing of drum machines, exotic synthesizers and modulars, field recordings and the recording of live drums and percussive instruments.

Drum Tools 01 is an essential purchase for any electronic music producer looking for high quality, 100% original drum samples. Although designed with Minimal Techno & Tech House music in mind, Drum Tools 01 also makes an essential toolkit for producers of House, Trance, Electro or even down­tempo and Hip-Hop styles.
