Music > Solo percussion

This is a multisample of eight different strikes on a genuine Ghanaian drum. The instrument is similar to a djembe but narrower and made from heavier wood. The drum was a recorded with a Rode NT1 on the top and a Shure SM58 on the bottom. These sources were then phase-matched in Cool Edit Pro.

Nice and funky. Just what I need for my hiphop beats to let 'em rip.
