Vintage-Sounding Heavy Rock Drum Samples
We used our trusty old Yamaha 9000, tuned low and mean, using the 13″ and the 16″ for the toms. 22×16″ kick, with the front head low but the display head pitched-up, just as the great John Bonham himself used to.
We could dedicate an entire blog post to our adventures with the snare on this recording! We settled for this HUGE sounding free-floating brass shell 14″ snare drum tuned with the bottom head cranked, and the top head lower in pitch, and with the snares pretty slack.
Big, Heavy, Classic Drum Hits
This is a great example of how a snare drum can change the sound of an entire kit. The snares light up on any hit around the kit – just have a listen to the tom samples in the heavy rock drum samples preview above.
We also used the same “ribbon-mic-in-the-hallway” technique we’ve used on previous recordings to give the option of having a natural room/reverb sound. Using this channel with some fairly bold compression strapped on it can deliver some MASSIVE results.
The Patches
We have created sampler patches that “map” the voices and velocities to different keyboard note events.
Simply load the correct format into your software sampler, and you can play beats using your keyboard, or programme beats in your sequencer.
We created sampler patches in the following formats:
- EXS24 (Logic/Garageband)
- Kontakt
- Ableton Live Drum Racks
- Ableton Sampler
- Battery 3 (Mac & Windows)
- Steinberg HALion
- Propellerhead Reason
- CamelAudio Alchemy

A nice representation of a bombastic old kit–I even like the tom hit snare resonance, sounds very natural!

As with the Grunge Kit I struggle to find quality acoustic kits in EXS24 and other formats I use. JB was number one in my opinion so I’m pretty attuned to his sound. Very happy with this Bonham-esque kit. The price is so low it’s worth checking these out and totally worth more than I paid.
