SONOR Acoustic Drums
by Simone PiervergiliUploaded on Jul 23, 2023 (and last updated on Jul 24, 2023)
Real life recorded from my neighbor's Sonor Acoustic Drums in his house's living room with my Samsung Galaxy A52 phone, samples are mono, although I cloned layers and added stereo pannings.
Also, these are not complete drums, in fact, unfortunately, they don't even have crash cymbal, they only had ride cymbal and hi hat, but still sounds good.
I just created an instrument layer for the ride cymbal samples, I added them now.
Work in the Public Domain
Extra considerations:
Public domain and free, and it's from an acoustic instrument. Feel free to use this in any soundfont!!!
