Ever walked into the forest with a sledge hammer on your shoulder? Bashed rocks to bits and pieces? Or been banging on that one rusty gate for way too long that onlookers are this close to calling for professional help? Well, Wildebeat is the result of all that and more. It’s a modern percussive foray that has it’s heartbeat beaten in wood, metal and stone. It was recorded in the forests and abandoned buildings around here. So if you see any trolls running around looking scared, they’re probably running away from the recording sessions.

 

Wildebeat is a modern toolkit of natural raw and designed found sound drums and percussion. It is made of an assortment of wood, metal and stone based sounds. The library is divided into two sections; natural and designed. The natural section contains all the recorded raw material in its natural form arranged into suitable kits. The designed section contains manipulated drums kits, percussion sets, hits, loops, sliced loops and fx.

 

The library was recorded outside, in the wild. I have tried to remove as much noise from the samples as I could but there still may be remnants of nature.

 

Contents

The library contains 261 .NKI patches, 12,881 samples and takes up 5.3 gigabytes of hard drive space.

 

The samples are left in uncompressed WAV format  to provide you with the possibility to load them into your favorite drum tool, sampler or use them as raw audio files in your DAW.
