Nice set of well–sampled Yamaha RX7 drum hits, percussion and FX. Great for 90s–style electronic drums.

RX7 by Cluster Sound
The Legacy
In 1988, Yamaha unleashed the RX7—a 12-bit drum machine that would become the secret weapon behind countless pioneering tracks. From the atmospheric soundscapes of Future Sound of London to the brooding bass of Massive Attack, from Björk’s experimental explorations to Nine Inch Nails’ industrial assaults, the RX7 delivered a distinctive sonic character that defined an era.
What made the RX7 special wasn’t just its 100 PCM samples—it was the texture. That 12-bit grit. The way the lo-fi character sat perfectly in a mix without fighting for space. The dynamic range that felt alive, organic, breathing.
The Sound
This pack captures everything that made the original RX7 legendary. Real acoustic drums sit alongside electronic percussion. Punchy snares and deep bass drums anchor your rhythm section. Toms roll with character. Cymbals shimmer with that distinctive 12-bit sheen.
But the RX7 was never just about drums. Vocal hits add human texture to your beats. FM-synthesized percussion brings metallic bite and tonal color. Electric bass and guitar samples offer melodic foundation. Sound effects open up creative possibilities that push beyond traditional drum programming.
Every sample has been carefully remastered to meet modern production standards while preserving the essential lo-fi soul and dynamic range that made the original so special. These aren’t sterile, over-processed sounds—they’re full of character, ready to bring warmth and grit to your productions.
The Vibe
Old school hip hop. Early dub riddims. Electro that crunches and pops. The RX7 was built for genres that celebrate texture over perfection, where a little grit makes everything better. Whether you’re crafting boom-bap beats, laying down dubbed-out soundscapes, or programming electro sequences, these sounds deliver authentic vintage character.
Layer them with modern samples for hybrid textures. Use them raw for pure nostalgia. Process them through your favorite effects for something entirely new. The RX7 pack works however you want to work.
Inside you’ll find:
- 100 remastered PCM samples from the original Yamaha RX7
- Real acoustic drums — snares, bass drums, toms, and cymbals with authentic character
- Electronic percussion — punchy, processed drum sounds that cut through any mix
- Vocal hits — human texture and rhythmic accent
- FM percussion — metallic, tonal, and unique synthetic sounds
- Electric bass & guitar samples — melodic elements for creative layering
- Sound effects — expand your sonic palette beyond traditional drums
