Ben Aylon • One Man Tribe is offering the Massive Cinematic Africa drum and percussion pack for free in an exclusive Black Friday offer for Bedroom Producers Blog readers.
The royalty-free pack includes 70 loops and 64 one-shots. The freebie is available now and will close on December 6, 2024.
Over the same period, Ben Aylon is also offering his entire catalog of 33 packs for $19.99, which is a 67% off deal.
The full catalogue is an 8 GB offering that jams in 2,473 loops and 1,424 one-shots.
The Massive Cinematic Africa pack includes drums and percussion from different cultures, combining to provide rich textures and a broad frequency range.
Each sample has more than 100 drums playing simultaneously, providing the titular massive sound.
The pack features massive rhythms, elastic phrases and one-shots which combine to create a wet, cinematic sound.
Ben Aylon also included dry versions of each sample, allowing you to add verb and atmosphere to your personal taste.
The pack was performed and produced by Ben Aylon, who notes that the primary influence for the pack is Senegalese Wolof drumming master, Doudou Ndiaye Rose.
You can see the Rose family at work in a video produced for the Black Friday freebie, which is exclusively available for viewing via BPB.
In the video, Ben Aylon shows and explains the process behind creating the pack.
If you’d like to hear more, you can suss out individual samples via the 12 audio demos embedded on the product page linked below.
The pack has a lot of unique character, and I could really see how it could be used to add some mojo and special sauce to a track with the traditional drum sounds on offer.
In addition to adding a new layer to an existing arrangement, it’s easy to hear how you could use the loops as inspiration to kick off a new track.
If you like how Massive Cinematic Africa sounds, head onto the product page, where you can pick up the pack by completing the website checkout process.
