Recorded on 4 different snare drums with 6 complementary microphones, using a variety of muffling technics, RAW MUFFLED SNARES explores the punchy, controlled and classic sounds of muffled snare drums.

For decades, studio and live drummers have experimented with muffling technics and materials on their snare drums, with the goal to control overtones and decay, add impact and focus, gain clarity and mix in better with other instruments.
The 249 samples of RAW MUFFLED SNARES explore these technics and feature a huge palette of muffled sounds, from glorious punchy disco snares, sharp and cutting sounds reminescent of electronic drums, all the way to classic old-school controlled snares...

The choice of microphones and microphone positions add to this versatility by providing various amounts of proximity effect and ambience.

This original set of samples will be perfect for music production and mixing duties (adding bite, punch or stick definition to poorly recorded snares).

11 Kontakt instruments provide dynamic layered snares for instant results and great realism, practical category sets, and plenty of unheard, unexpected new snare sounds.
  • - 249 samples, mono and stereo WAV, 24bit, 48kHz
  • - Samples organised in 6 practical subfolders (dead snares, controlled snares, sharp snares...)
  • - 11 NI Kontakt instruments (6 nki, 5 nkm) (full Kontakt 4.2+ required!)
  • - Total size uncompressed: 30.4MB
  • - introductory price (-50%): EUR 6€ (list price €12) offer ends march 14th :wink:

All the samples of the collection are organized in the following subfolders/categories:

CONTROLLED SNARES (21 samples)
These samples were recorded using medium muffling technics: mylar rings, moon gel damper pads, internal mufflers, duct tape, double-sided foam tape…
They provide a great compromise between resonance and control.


DEAD SNARES (43 samples)
The real deal! No tone, no projection, no life… and yet beautiful impacts and body!
Use these samples as such in your tracks, or layer them with other samples to create complex, perfect backbeats.
Mixing engineers will use these on top of flat, poorly recorded snares to add punch and impact.


ROOM MUFFLED SNARES (34 samples)
Recorded with microphones placed at mid-distance, these samples contain a bit of ambience and will be easy to integrate deeper into your mixes.


SHARP SNARES (26 samples)
Most of these samples were recorded using microphones placed under the snare drums, pointing at the snares. The resulting sounds are bright, sharp and cutting.
Layer these on top of a dull, lifeless snare drum to give it extra bite!


VARIOUS MUFFLED SNARES (20 samples)
A very original set of samples recorded by muting the snare drums with hands, tambourines, various objects...


PITCHED AND LAYERED SNARES (105 samples)
These samples were created by layering and pitching various raw muffled snares samples in NI Kontakt. The resulting sounds were recorded and edited in Pro Tools, and then exported as new samples.
These sounds are organized in five subfolders:
- 3D Layered Snares
- Deep FX Snares
- Organic Layered Snares
- Stereo Snares
- Tech DnB Snares

great samples! bargain! thank you!
Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours.

Cool idea. Back when I played drums I used to love the sound of "damped" snare and toms. The classic tea towel "trick" :)
Give me samples. More samples!

Same here :D Back when I was a teenager I had my drums covered with shirts and sweaters so that I would not disturb the family and neighbours :party:

BTW the idea actually came from a Loops de la Crème user. He got his custom-made pack first, and free! :tu:
