Free Roland TR-808 Samples from Liveschool & Studios 301

A full year ago some of the good people from Liveschool and Studios 301 got together late one night to record a Roland TR-808 drum machine through the $30,000 Fairchild 670 compressor.

The result was likely some of the best Roland Tr-808 samples on the planet. The recordings were intended for personal use, but not everyone has access to that kind of gear – so in hindsight they decided to share the samples with the world – for free!

Since that first recording, it’s become something of an obsession. Every month or so they’ve been releasing more free drum samples from classic drum machines, professionally recorded through an array of the amazing hardware gear at Studios 301 in Sydney.

One year on, they decided it was time to improve on the free drum samples that started it all, by revisiting the Roland Tr-808 and Fairchild 670 compressor in a new recording session. This time they’ve captured every drum type from the Roland TR-808 (last time they missed the essential cowbell!) and the Fairchild 670 has been re-valved and restored in all its glory – so long story short, these Roland TR-808 samples sound even better than they did the first time around.

Grab the free sample pack at the link below, then go make some boom-boom-bap-boom.
