This is a pretty good breaks library for drum and bass. There are the old classics of course, but also a few different ones. For the most part the beats are tidy and well edited. They are all very much usable. If you like that old school sound, or want to reinforce your own created kits, a pack like this is invaluable. A good addition to your sample library.
This is an outstanding sample pack. Excellent sound design, well thought out and heaps of content. This is a must buy for anyone into the more technical genres, especially drum and bass. The bass section is a real stand out which is unsurprising given Fourward's music. Good aggressive sounds, complex in nature but still useable. Overall, the only criticism was that it would better if some samples were dry. There is a fair amount of reverb used throughout the pack, which sounds awesome but makes some sounds less workable. Looking forward to Fourward Volume 2!
