Cassette 808 Drums

Cassette 808 Drums from ModeAudio reaches into the sonic past and catapults two icons of 20th century music technology hurtling into the present - the celebrated 808 drum machine and cassette tape recorder.

Brimming with 112 royalty-free drum samples captured by running our beloved drum machine through a vintage Tascam 4 track unit, we didn't hold back in pushing signals into the red to produce this selection of blissfully saturated drum euphoria.

From those signature booming kicks to crisp snares, taught claps, shimmering hi hats and the device's legendary selection of plucky percussive flavours, this deep slice of analog sampling heaven will deliver all of the warmth and punch of retro synthesis and recording technology straight to your DAW.

Alongside the core choice of drum hits, we've even included a set of 12 samples exploring the sounds of the tape machine itself, ranging from chunky button pushes and glorious tape hiss to the classic sound of magnetic tape spooling forwards and backwards.

Completing the pack is a collection of 6 pre-mixed, mapped and choke-assigned drum kit sampler patches, ready and waiting to unleash the flavours of golden era Hip Hop, House and Techno on your next production.

In short, it's the sound of your favourite drum machine, with added warmth, grit and character - download Cassette 808 Drums and get beatmaking today.
