Just released a new sample pack 'Mr. Drum & Friends'. It's the first of hopefully many.
https://isntses.bandcamp.com/album/mr-drum-friends-circuit-bent-lo-fi-drums-sample-packA royalty-free sample pack of unique drum & percussion sounds, created by Isn'tses & Cementimental using their extensive collection of circuit-bent toys, vintage keyboards and samplers, drum machines and DIY synth circuits. Crunchy lo-fi / noise / glitch / hardcore / 8-bit / industrial beats
The pack consists of 258 individual drum hits, 25 loops, and 21 longer passages of circuitbent sounds, noise and beats which you can edit, layer and sample as you see fit. :) All samples have been carefully edited and normalised for use in the sampler or DAW of your choosing.
We were torn over whether to get bandcamp pro and upload every sample as an actual track on the album page, or the other common approach of just uploading preview tracks and providing a download link in a file. We opted for the latter as it allows for organising the samples in folders, even tho having to download from bandcamp, then open the pdf with the real download link, then download that is kind of clunky and not that user-friendly. I would welcome any feedback on which method people prefer.
You can buy it from bandcamp -
