Built around your references

Share records, producers, drum tones, eras, BPM ranges and processing notes. Every sound decision begins with your direction.

One coherent drum family

Kicks, snares, hats and percussion are selected to work together, so your kit feels like one instrument instead of unrelated files.

Clean and processed options

Where the plan includes alternate versions, you receive flexible clean files alongside character driven processing without inflating the unique sound count.

Organized for real workflow

Files arrive clearly named by sound type, version and BPM where relevant, ready for Ableton, FL Studio, Logic, Cubase, MPC, SP samplers and more.

Starter Custom Drums5.0
“I wanted a kit that felt dusty and heavy without every hit being crushed. The kicks have weight, the snares sit exactly where I need them and the whole folder feels like one drum set instead of random one shots.”

Miles CarterMILES C · Boom Bap Producer

Pro Custom Drums5.0
“The drum breaks were the main reason I ordered the Pro pack. Having clean and processed versions made a huge difference because I could either chop the raw groove myself or use the dirtier version straight away.”

Dante LewisDLWZ · MPC Producer

Signature Custom Drums5.0
“I needed a complete drum identity for an album and the Signature pack gave me exactly that. The one shots, percussion and breaks all belong to the same world, so the drums stay consistent across the whole project.”

Noah GrantN.GRANT · Record Producer

Pro Custom Drums5.0
“Everything was organized properly and the break BPMs were already labelled. I loaded the folders into my MPC, built a program and was making a beat almost immediately. The workflow side of the delivery was seriously good.”

Isaiah BrooksBRKSIDE · MPC & SP Producer

Starter Custom Drums5.0
“I asked for hard snares, short kicks and dry hats with a late 90s feel. Nothing in the kit feels like filler. I have already built several drum programs from it and I keep coming back to the same sounds.”

Evan PriceEVNPRC · Hip-Hop Producer

Pro Custom Drums5.0
“My references were a mix of old soul records and modern underground drums. They got the balance right without copying either side. The breaks have movement and the one shots still punch hard when I program my own patterns.”

Malcolm ReedMRK II · Sample-Based Producer

Signature Custom Drums5.0
“The biggest thing for me was having an exclusive drum palette built around my artist project. I did not want another kit that thousands of producers already had. These drums feel connected to the record we are making.”

Julian KnoxKNOXFIELD · Artist Producer

Pro Custom Drums5.0
“The processed breaks have the exact kind of saturation and room I was trying to get, but the clean versions give me enough freedom to resample everything through my own chain. That combination made the pack much more useful.”

Aaron ColeACR8 · Drum Programmer

Starter Custom Drums5.0
“Most drum kits give me hundreds of sounds and I end up using five. This one was the opposite. The kick and snare choices were focused, the percussion actually matched them and I could build a complete palette without digging through folders.”

Terrence HallT.HALL · Independent Producer

Signature Custom Drums5.0
“I gave a very specific brief around swing, texture and how I wanted the drums to react under samples. The finished library feels like an instrument made for my workflow. The breaks especially gave the project a sound I could recognize immediately.”

Marcus ValeVALERUN · Album Producer

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need before requesting your drums.

Still unsure about the right plan? Describe the project in the request form and the most suitable option can be confirmed before production starts.

What is a Custom Drum Pack?
It is a made to order drum library created around your references, production style and project goals. The pack is curated as one coherent drum identity rather than a folder of unrelated sounds.
What counts as one unique one shot?
Each distinct kick, snare, hat, percussion sound or other drum hit counts once. Alternate clean or processed versions do not artificially increase the stated unique sound count.
Are drum breaks included in every plan?
Starter includes 100 unique one shots and no breaks. Pro includes 200 unique one shots and 15 original breaks. Signature includes 350 unique one shots and 30 original breaks. Every included break is delivered in both clean and processed versions.
Can I request acoustic, electronic or hybrid drums?
Yes. The direction may be acoustic, electronic, sampled, dirty, clean or hybrid depending on your references and the type of sound you need.
Can you copy the drums from a specific record?
References are used to understand tone, groove, era and processing. The goal is an original drum identity inspired by your direction, not an identical copy of copyrighted audio.
Do the drum breaks include multitrack stems?
The standard plans include final stereo break files in clean and processed versions. Isolated stems or multitrack sessions can be requested and quoted separately when the production method allows them.
How do I send my references?
Use the request form to share songs, producers, links, BPM ranges, eras, drum characteristics and any processing notes that explain the sound you want.
When does production begin?
Production begins once the request has been reviewed, the creative direction is approved and payment has been confirmed.
Are the drums royalty free?
Yes. You can use the delivered drums in personal and commercial music releases without paying extra royalties to Soul Chemist. Redistribution of the raw files is not allowed.
What is the difference between nonexclusive and exclusive?
Starter and Pro include nonexclusive custom material. Signature includes exclusive usage of the custom audio delivered to you, so that audio is not licensed as a custom pack to another customer.
Can I request revisions?
Pro includes one revision round and Signature includes two. Revisions must remain within the original approved direction. A new drum direction may require a separate quote.
How will I receive the files?
You will receive a private download link by email. Files are delivered in organized high quality WAV folders so they can be used immediately in major DAWs and samplers.
