Behind the vault door today, we have a pretty big kit for you!
This kit comes from DJay Cas, a producer who has production credits with well-known artists such as Young Jeezy, Paul Wall, Yung La, Ice Cube, and others. Although this kit doesn’t contain original drums that he has created/recorded/tweaked, he put it together from his stash for the sake of others to use.
He dropped this kit a long time ago on The RapMusic.com Boards, and for me it’s been quite useful. The marching band stuff, though few in number, were great to me and provided a different yet pleasing sound for kicks and snares. The vox folder also has some good vocal cuts to help hype up your records; many of which you’ve heard on hit records, from hey’s to ow’s and oh’s.
At 701 samples, this kit should definitely keep you occupied for your next several production endeavors.
Vincent, Timmy Titus and I recorded this track for our good friends at the United Five clothing line (http://www.united-five.com). It’s now the official theme for United Five.
If you like what you hear, make sure you like this blog entry, and also make sure you are a fan (or nowadays make sure you “like”) this song which is also on the MooN ShynE Facebook Fan Page which you can be a fan of as well. Of course, while you’re at it, make sure you guys like the Vincent Facebook Fan Page and the Timmy Titus Facebook Fan Page to show your support!
For fans of Neptunes production (Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo), we have this drum kit in the vault. This kit has very hard and bassy kicks, with unique snare sounds and percussion. Some of these have been processed through different effects to match what you would tend to hear from a Neptunes beat. Although lighter than the last few kits, this one still has more than 400 drum samples for you to mess around with.
Thanks to Bully Beats for giving me half of the drums in this kit! For those who haven’t heard of Bully Beats, he has had production credits with Panjabi MC (of Beware of the Boys [Mundian To Bach Ke] with Jay-Z fame) and D-Block affiliates.

I’m using this upcoming album, “Lyricist Manifesto”, to demonstrate my lyrical prowess. I feel the 1st Black and Blue Ink. self-titled album was our best yet, showing our skills in word play, punch-lines and imagery. Through rational thought, I’m trying to challenge myself to make the Lyricist Manifesto a piece of lyrical art that would supply mainstream hip-hop listeners a more enjoyable experience than what they are subjected to on the radio and in clubs.
I try to listen to what’s playing out there…like kanye, 50, the cash money crew, Dipset,Jay-Z ….what have you…… but nothing catches my attention like a powerful verse supplied by those rippers that I do listen to……. Canibus, jedi mind tricks, rakim, and some lesser known cats. I can put together a good verse that can show I can rhyme in my sleep. But what Moon Shyne and I are trying to do in this next album will be a real treat to the hip-hop fan. I often have lyrical bars coming to me throughout the course of the day. What I do is harness that power till I hit the booth and lyrical magic then occurs. What I ask is from ya’ll is to take your ear-muffs off and pay attention to the power of the Lyricist Manifesto!
God Bless, K-maculate

Another decent sized kit, weighing in at over 500 samples. This one’s focused more on a East Coast sound. Even though I feel these can be used for any type of hip-hop if used properly, whoever classified these initially felt it best for East Coast sounds so we’ll go with that. These drums have a nice feel to them with a hint of aggression.
There are two different sets that are focused on “East Coast” on here. The first kit is the bigger kit, with separate folders for kicks, snares, hats, claps, percussion, and cymbals. The second kit is smaller, but also includes some toned instrument sounds and effects.
