Ultimate Drum One-Shot Bundle

The Producer Essentials - Hi-Hats collection features 50 open and 50 closed hats totaling 100 one-shot samples, with a great variety of timbre, texture and character to enjoy.

Building rhythmic grooves in electronic music without some kind of element functioning as a hi-hat is fairly rare. Increasingly, more than one element plays this role. An alternating, intertwining confluence of hi-hats brings a great deal of movement, dynamics and human feel to a beat and begins to play a much larger role in the greater mix. Take away the hi-hats and plenty of genres fall flat. So having a go-to library of hats is pretty critical.
