Built for modern hip hop and gospel grooves
The Yamaha 9000 Recording Custom kit gives this ADpak its focused attack, deep low end, and fast transient response. Known for its clarity and wide tuning range, it handles tight hip hop pocket grooves just as comfortably as explosive gospel fills. The five-tom setup moves from compact 8" and 10" rack toms to a deep 16" floor tom, giving you plenty of tonal variation for transitions, fills, and layered arrangements. Every drum was tuned to balance punch with body, helping intricate rhythmic phrasing stay clean and articulate while still carrying weight in larger productions.
Recorded at Stockholm’s renowned Riksmixningsverket
The Hip Hop and Gospel ADpak was recorded at Riksmixningsverket (RMV), one of Sweden’s most respected recording studios. Founded by Benny Andersson of ABBA, RMV is known for its distinctive acoustics, extensive microphone collection, and carefully maintained recording spaces. Located on Stockholm’s Skeppsholmen island, the studio has become a creative hub for forward-thinking producers and musicians across multiple genres. Its detailed recording environment helped capture the natural tone, transient detail, and dynamic response of every drum and cymbal in this ADpak, giving you polished, mix-ready sounds that still retain the feel and character of a live performance.
Mix-ready presets from respected producers
This ADpak includes 99 presets designed by producers and musicians including Trevor Lawrence Jr, The Pocket Queen, Josh Gannet, Mai, Omari Jazz, Ron Got The Recipe, and Orenji Soul. The collection spans tight boom bap kits, polished contemporary gospel mixes, and punch-heavy modern production sounds, helping you move quickly between genres and workflows. Each preset was built to sit naturally in a mix while still leaving room for further shaping, whether you’re layering drums into dense productions or building arrangements around expressive live-style performances.
