Get that Massive Worship Drum Tone with this Industry Secret

Question, what if you could sit down at any drum kit and have it sound exactly like the albums you love? Well, that’s exactly what we’re here to show you today. The secret is Worship Drums Samples.

Payden Hilliard, drummer for Leeland & Co-Owner of Drum Sample Shop, has spent the past 6.5 years playing 1000s of services on different drum kits all over the tone & quality spectrum!

Sometimes he shows up at a church and the drumset is absolutely incredible! Other times he shows up and the kit is almost impossible to redeem. He couldn’t bring a drumset with him on the road either, so he needed to devise a solution that would allow him to achieve consistent high-quality sounding drums.

The solution: triggering acoustic drum samples!

While there are a lot of physical drum kits out there that you can use to get great sound, they can also be expensive. That’s why sampling has become so popular in recent years. With samples, you have access to an immense range of sounds and tones to choose from at an affordable price.
