You will rarely find a mix I work on these days that don’t feature these drum samples. I thought for years about doing my own library as I had a certain sound in mind, but we seem to have such similar taste in drums that I’ve been beaten to it.

When I start auditioning samples I always start with MDLtone drums, Josh’s stuff just works. Divine Destruction Drums is everything you need and with a huge great sounding room it offers so much flexibility. You can’t go wrong, it’s killer!
