Just Blaze Releases Drum Kit With Sounds From Early 2000’s

Fans who supported the remix album from Run The Jewels on Kickstarter are getting a whole bunch of goodies as a result. Not only did they get the cat-inspired Meow The Jewels project after shattering the funding goal, but Just Blaze also promised a drum kit for all up and coming producers to get their hands on and mess around with.

Today is finally the day Just makes good on his word, with the producer’s dream making its way to the world wide web for free download. Don’t expect the exact instruments he used for beats crafted specifically for JAY Z, Cam’ron, Fabolous and The Diplomats, though. He used plenty of different techniques to make the drums his own, so you’re going to have to too.

Thanks to all who contributed to making Meow The Jewels a success. For the uninitiated, I promised to contribute a remix to the project if it was funded, and as an added bonus a good amount of the signature drums I used on many records in the early half of the 2000’s. Please note these are the raw, relatively unprocessed files straight out of my MPC (hence the delay in tracking them down and getting them to you guys). That said, in most cases, you’re not going to instantly press a pad and be like ‘OMG, IT’S THE SUCH AND SUCH SNARE!’ (though that will happen in a few cases). I used a lot of layering, compression, and EQ / Mix techniques to get these things to sound like the drums many of you knew and loved. Enjoy this starting point, and happy drumming! P.S. This is just the beginning. Stay tuned to Splice.com for much more!!
