Fake Acoustic Drums is a sample pack that consists of 512 unique one-shot drum samples, which are designed to imitate acoustic drums. Although synthesizers were purposefully used in the creation of these sounds, the point is that the resulting samples should not sound like a typical drum machine. No kick drums that consists only of a sine wave with a click, instead those sounds make use of a lot of noise and texture layers to mask the fact that they are synthesized.

But at the same time, these sounds are specifically not actual recordings of real drums. It’s a limitation that gives these sounds something uncanny and unique. Despite the fact that a lot of processing has been applied in order to achieve these results, they are not overly compressed or distorted. They are versatile and can easily be modified to fit into various mixes and music genres.

This sample pack has no filler content, no loops of the already provided one-shot samples, no duplicate sounds with added reverb or something similar. It’s a collection of 512 unique sounds, each rendered in 24 bit and a samplerate of 44100.

The download includes a .zip file with every sample in .wav format. These .wav files can be used in practically any DAW. Additionally, you can download these samples as an Ableton Live Pack, which then makes sure these samples are integrated better into Live. The Live Pack also features 8 Drum Racks Presets, each having every single sample already loaded. You can change the sample selection using the macros, making it easy to start jamming out without any manual work. Inserting these Drum Racks from Push or other MIDI controllers works in the same way as inserting any other stock Drum Rack in Live.
