Paragon Rhythms Vol. 2

Paragon Rhythms Volume 2 — One Drum Set. Zero Limits.

The music you make will outlive you. Make it mean something.

234 royalty-free drum breaks, fills, loops and one-shots by Mick Schultz and Nick Spreigl.

The demo contains vocals that are not included in this kit.

I teamed up with drummer Nick Spreigl to push one live drum set into every sonic direction imaginable.

We captured days of Nick drumming with tons of different mic setups. We even captured reverb from the hallways in the studio.

These aren’t your typical drum loops. The longest break runs over a minute, evolving with natural human variation and raw energy, giving you endless pockets to chop, flip, and find the moment that sparks something special in you.

Sample them like records. Build around them like stems. Or just drop them in and layer on top.
