More than ten years Alchemist has been watching “Alchemist Drum Kits” floating around the internet. Having nothing to do with these joints, Alchemist says, “They probably just carved out a few exposed traps and strikes here and there.” The drums sounded close, but never officially belonged to The Alchemist.
Introducing the official Alchemist drum kit – The Alchemist “Secret Sauce”. “Recently my buddy DJ Skizz and Marco Polo came to the lab and Marco gave me the idea of making an official drum kit and going back to old ASR-10 beats that people could recognize and give them drum samples and sounds from the classics,” says Alchemist.
Inspired by this unique approach to drum kit construction, Alchemist went back to his old ASR-10 drives, played a drum solo, recorded 4 bars, and then soloed each drum sound. “This gives people the opportunity to find samples that accompany the drums and remake classic beats or use them in new beats,” says Alchemist.
Alchemist Secret Sauce features drums from these classics: Tick Tock, Different Worlds, Mobb Niggaz, Ventilate It, For the Record, Desire, Live the Life, NB, Latin Bandit, From the Rhymes, Stuck to You, Shredded Laundry, Luce, From the Worst for worse, Lose Life, Pointer, Neighborhood Watch, On Stage, Definition, Insanity, Essence, Professional, D Elite, Feel Me, Still Feel Me.
Plus a bonus folder of sounds from Alchemist’s personal drum stash and ASR-10, including Kicks, Snares, Hats and FX.
