The Drum Tools 02 Black Friday deal takes 67% off this Wave Alchemy drum sample library, bringing it to $21 until Nov 15, 2026.
Drum Tools 02 is a collection of production-ready drum samples for electronic music. The maker points it at Techno, EDM, DnB, Dubstep, Deep House, Trap and Electronica.
Selected samples were re-recorded through analogue gear for extra grit and weight. The maker says this adds character, warmth and punch.
The library is split into tape-processed drums, vinyl-processed drums, ready-made kits and Ableton Live racks.
The maker also lists custom NI Maschine presets, and says the pack works in any DAW.
Tape passes ran through an Ampex ATR-102 machine onto ½ inch analogue tape. The vinyl section was cut to 12" vinyl on a Neumann VMS 70 mastering lathe.
The vinyl folder mirrors the structure of the processed drum section. Wave Alchemy says the lathe pass brings added grittiness and warmth.
Other processing in the chain includes the Thermionic Culture Vulture Mastering Edition, Eventide H8000, API 2500 compressor, API 5500 EQ, Studer A80 tape machine, Empirical Labs Distressor and Fatso, SSL E Series EQs and compressors, Akai S950 and EMU SP-12 Turbo.
The 79 drum kits come in Battery 3, Halion, Kontakt, NN-XT, SFZ and EXS24 formats. That is 79 kits in each format.
The Ableton racks are built with full Push compatibility. Every drum sound carries 8 pre-assigned macros: tune/pitch, gate/decay, tone, several distortion parameters and volume.
The selector modules cover bass drums, claps, crash cymbals and rides, hi-hats, snares, toms and tones. Percussion is split into acoustic, electronic and glitch.
Sound sources include the Roland TR-808, TR-909, TR-707, TR-606 and CR-78. The list also takes in the Linn Linndrum, EMU Drumulator, Sequential Drumtraks, Elektron Analog RYTM, MFB Tanzbar, Jomox Mbrane, MBase 11 and Xbass 999, Vermona DRM and Korg MS-20. Synths include the ARP 2600, Roland Jupiter 8 and Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, plus acoustic drums, percussion and foley recordings.
Dan Byers of Wave Alchemy produced the pack, with additional production by Matt Urmenyi and J. Rowland.
