Blipdrums

Blipdrums is a new web-based business specializing in unique electronic drum samples for musicians, sound designers and soundtrack creators.

“Blipdrums is dedicated to creating the best electronic percussion samples,” explains Bliphead and company founder Saul Stokes. Stokes creates Blipdrum’s sample using a mixture of software and hardware, combined with his own handmade analog modular music systems.

“We create new and unique electronic percussion samples from the ground up using a mixture of one-of-a-kind hand built modular analog synthesizers combined with the latest software synths and effects.” explains Stokes. “Because of this, our drum sounds are totally one-of-a-kind.”

Blipdrums sells their samples in bite-size chunks of 10 samples, organized by drum type, priced at $1.49 per set. A “Buy all” discount is also available.

The site uses a Paypal-based shopping cart. When you place an order, the site sends you a web link via email for downloading your samples.

I arranged with Saul to make a set of free drum samples (.zip) available to Synthtopia readers, so you can try their work risk-free. You can also preview all their samples at the Blipdrums site.
