The dirty drums have additional layers of processing and were designed to hit insanely hard. You can also choose between clean or dirty drum character - The clean drums were recorded directly out of the MPC with no additional effects. Each kick, snare, and hat loop were designed to fit together and offer a total of 8000 unique combinations when grouped together. Thanks to its easy to use loop library, MPC DRUMS allows you to create your own heavy analog drum patterns in just a couple of clicks. I built them up as fat as possible with the help of my knowledge and analog gear (Shure M44-7, Technics SL-1200, Vestax PMC-05) so you can skip the labor of doing this yourself.


Over the years, I took on the task of individually designing drums on my old MPC1000 - layering kicks, snares, and hats from hundreds of vinyl records. The only problem is… Learning how to use a classic MPC can take a LOT of time, not to mention the patience it takes to create drums on it. But there’s just no substitute for the real thing. Trying to replicate its sound with computer presets might get you close. From the distorted texture to its age-old circuitry, there’s just nothing quite like it. The sounds produced by a vintage MPC are intricate. And lately there’s been no doubt in my mind that the new wave of retro sound is all about vintage analog devices.
