80's Drum

An essential treasure trove of authentic drum machine kits and MIDI grooves inspired by the sound of the eighties. Taking stylistic cues from the likes of Depeche Mode, Duran Duran and Human League, 80s Beats takes iconic drum machines and uses classic production techniques to deliver a truly retro beat experience.

The Simmons SDS-800 is a 100% analog 80s drum synthesizer, responsible for the cosmic syn-tom ('beeww beeww') sounds used on countless disco, boogie & reggae recordings. In the 90s, it became re-popularized in the techno world, with the raw, resonant white noise oscillator being used for jarring hi hat and snare programming. And most recently, the Simmons drum sounds have become a signature for punk funk groups like LCD Soundsystem.

101 disco-infused house drum loops seamlessly merging funky live drums with contemporary house programming: classic disco snares, organic percussive rhythms and vintage drum machine grooves, all pitched at 125 and 127bpm to nail the disco-house genre du jour. Smorgasbord of 101 drum fills for virtually all electronic genres: vintage-inspired live fills loaded with funky-style drumming, glitch and tech fills packed with processed circuitry and electronic fills of pumped 80s drum machinery, all offered at 128bpm. 101 speaker-slaying electro leads primed for dancefloor destruction: Parisien piledrivers, Dutch invaders, overdriven 303 rampagers and monosynth manglers that run the blurred line between nu-rave, up-front electro and old skool techno.

Illuminate your productions with radiant 80s haze and neon vibes: Retro Waves transcends nostalgia to create a super-modern Sample Pack that celebrates the timeless atmosphere and aesthetic of iconic 80s film and TV soundtracks.
