Alchemist Drum Kits: New ‘Drummo’ & ‘Soundbytes’ Sample Packs
Los Angeles — April 19, 2025 — Grammy‑nominated hip‑hop producer The Alchemist is expanding his sonic universe with the release of two new Alchemist Drum Kits: Soundbytes, a curated collection of rare samples, and Drummo, a tape‑saturated drum‑break library drawn from his personal archives. Both packs are available today exclusively through The Drum Broker.
A New Chapter in Alchemist’s Sound Design
Best known for crafting hard‑hitting tracks for artists such as Freddie Gibbs, Conway the Machine, and Boldy James, The Alchemist has long guarded a private stash of source material. With today’s twin release, he’s opening the vault so producers everywhere can tap into the textures behind his signature grooves.
“I’ve been archiving dusty VHS tapes and live drum sessions for years,” says The Alchemist. “Soundbytes and Drummo are my way of passing that inspiration forward—no gimmicks, just raw ingredients for the next wave of beats.”
