Studio Brootle 909 Sample Pack

Free 909 Samples

Welcome to the Studio Brootle 909 Sample Pack. It features an overdriven Roland 909 drum kit with some added rumble subs – the reverbing ‘warehouse’ sub basses made from processing kick reverbs. I wanted to make a kit for myself that is heavy on the low end. There is also a rumble-sub made from processing a low tom (instead of a kick) with reverb and saturation.

I made another 12 loops of kick and rumbles (with individual kick and rumble samples too), which are all included.

I’m a big fan of the raw Roland tr-909 sound, especially overdriving it hot into a mixer. I also like to bounce rumbles and save them with the other drum samples as I like the sound of a cavernous reverbing kick, but setting up and tweaking the reverb/distortion/compressor effects chains each time you make a track takes ages. Bouncing them as samples makes making tracks much quicker in the DAW. I like to load them on the Korg Volca Sample too.

Here’s what some of it sounds like…. you can hear a few of the kick-and-rumble loops, followed by a beat at the end made from the individual drum hits.

How I Processed These 909 Samples

These are run into a Mackie desk for nice saturation. Then the rumble subs, which are the low end sub basses are made and processed in the box. The rumble sub is a bass sound that you hear in techno tracks, is made from reverb and other processing. Normally the rumble is made only with the kick and is set up live with a huge reverb rumble, then it is controlled and tamed down with a sidechain compressor so you get a pumping sub bass off the beat, in the space between kicks for a pumping sub bass that is in key with the kick.

But here I have made samples so you can place the sub bass where you want in the bar. I have also use low toms as they make great rumble samples.

I took each kick and low tom I took into separate channels and processed them with reverb, and then distortion, then filtered out the top end and EQ. Then more distortion, filter and EQ until I get a heavy sub bass.
