Producers - Discussion / Cleanin' out my (Alesis Drumkit) Closet!!!

« on: June 20, 2006, 09:05:15 AM »

Well, some may find this useful, others not.But hey, its free so why complain.I enjoyed it for a little while.Been a lot of redundancy and duplication as I've come to realize while cleaning out my closet.Then stumbled upon this Alesis DM5 drumkit of mine.Was in MPC format (hence never really used it before) but I converted it 2 wav and now u can enjoy it.I dont think u'll find use for all the samples, but many of the percussion samples will be useful.Didnt rename them, so u'll hear by their sound what they are and u can name them accordingly.Its on yousentit so the kit will be up for a week then I guess, according to yousendit.

PS kit split into RAR folders of less than 2MB's each for easier DL. :arrow:
