So, I was working on a sample pack the other day, and was fixing up to cut some high-powered snare samples (each with an ultra-trill indexing of 1000% percent) and I noticed that there was a dozen or two snares in the pack that had a certain… “ultra-thick/layered” sound to them.

Instead of keeping them for the original sample pack, I thought to my myself, “StrangeFlow, why not give these away in a special ‘Ultra Thick Layered Snares’ package? Come on, just do it, nerd!”

So, that’s what I did. These snare sounds are ultra thick, ultra sick, processed – and then layered – with sounds from a variety of sources, including the 808 drum machine, the TR 68, the 606, the 909, and even the Cheetah MD16 ( a real rarity of a drum machine – it’s got some really fun electric cowbells!)… I took a range of sounds from these machines, including snares, claps, cowbells, toms, bongo’s, kicks, etc; I carefully, methodically, and stylistically smashed them into each other in a way that makes these ‘snare’ sounds really colorful and thick. They’re sick as sick can be. I feel like some of these sounds would be perfect for a glitch hop tune, or something more chill like a J Dilla-style beat… or Flying Lotus / Samiyam… Something along the lines of some hip-hoppish-ness, where you’re trying to really let your breaks shine, and you really want to show off your stylish snares (cuz it’s always – ALWAYS good to be able to brag ’bout your snares..)

Anyway, so click here to download these 21 snares…

But just remember: with statistical analysis, I have concluded that these snare sounds definitely have an ultra-trill indexing of about 1000%, so be careful.

With great power comes great responsibility…
