Sample Squad launched a new product, the Guiro/Woodblock, on June 19, 2009. Listen to tracks 12 and 13 in the demo area for a taste of the samples in that pack. Visit the Shop page to purchase or to obtain more details.
On June 23rd, we launched an exciting new product called Obtainium Metallium - Bowed Metal. This pack of 40 samples was derived exclusively from a 10-gallon metal milk container. A four foot aluminium rod was used to bow the container at various positions, coaxing haunting moans and unique rasping timbres out of its empty shell.
The demo track for this set uses ONLY 4 of the 40 samples! See the Shop page for more information and pricing.

Our Philosophy
If you are looking for unusual percussion samples, then you've found where fortune smiles. Our affordable products are created using field recordings, experimental production techniques, synthesis, and traditional sound design methods. Listen to the demo songs featuring our samples and discover what we have to offer.
Our sample packs are about bringing an intelligently focused set of materials together at a price point equivalent to the cost of a couple of beers. Think of them as packs of inspiration (much like beer!).
We want to present materials that are pliable in the hands of creative people who are striving toward excellence in both art and craft. One of the best ways to do this is to offer small sample packs that have their own flavor and purpose, the kind of spice your work needs. It's up to the artist to then forge more than that out of their own imagination.
