Dr Rubberfunk: Drums of Joy Volume 1

This sample pack offers a rare and distinctive collection of original drum loops and breaks, meticulously recorded on a 1950s Ajax drum kit through analog equipment. With the unique touch of live tweaking effects, compression, and mic levels, these loops provide an unparalleled vintage sound.

Following the release of his debut Dr Rubberfunk single ‘Harry The Guitar’ in early 2001, Simon Ward spent a few days with his long time friend & musical cohort ‘Slim’ Jim Oliver and an 8 Track reel to reel tape machine, recording drums to use as samples. Some of the results made it into Dr Rubberfunk songs over the next few years, and some of the ideas went on to develop into the mythical ‘Super Guder Breaks’ series by Mr Guder, but several reels of drums stayed on the shelf – until now! These loops and breaks were all tracked to tape through an outboard compressor and a guitar multi-fx unit, with Jim live tweaking the effects, compression and mic levels, and Simon reacting to what he was hearing in his headphones whilst playing – changing the tempo to match delays, varying dynamics & styles to match the changing sound of the drums as they hit the tape hard. Dig in for the sounds of a 1950s Ajax drum kit overdriving the tape, plus catching the occasional delay, with some phasing and flanging flying in and out for good measure. Re-edited from the only stereo mix down done at the time, Dr Rubberfunk has curated this unique selection of original 1, 2, 4 & 8 bar breaks, patterns, phrases and fills – ideal for DJs, producers and songwriters alike. Use them as they are, or chop, slice and re-program to suit your needs – you won’t find another collection that sounds like them, that’s for sure!
