#More styles mt power drum kit 2 pro
Make no mistake, Drum Pro is unashamedly a shell drum machine to add paid-for kits later, but it does come with 20 kits sampled from nine drum machines (from Roland, Boss, Novation and more) so you get a very decent start, without paying a thing. It sounds great and is very well worth the 50MB download, which gives you the kick sounds and a plug-in that runs on any system, old or new. It features 10 kits, limited but essential sonic tweaks and hands-on MPC pads. Some of our free drum plug-ins do dance music, some rock – and Beat Factory Drums is designed to fill in the gaps, since it’s aimed primarily for hip-hop, dubstep and more. It’s been around for aeons, but several updates keep this as one of the best Mac drum/synth freebies. It comes with several kits and synth features – LFO, filter, modulation and distortion – to stretch those kit sounds far and wide. It’s a cut-down version of AudioSpillage’s DrumSpillage with three drum pads for kick, hat and hollow drum. It’s still Mac only, we’re afraid, but an essential download for that platform.

Okay, that’s not a lot, you might think, but the 909 kick has backed tens of thousands of dance tracks and there are plenty of controls to shape it into just any incarnation of that sound you can imagine. You didn’t think we could possibly do a freeware drum-machine round-up without including at least one TR emulation, did you? This is (obviously) a 909 emulator, but only the actual kick drum from that machine.
