Introducing "Library Breaks”—an original collection of royalty-free drum breaks from Polyphonic Music Library, created by Grammy Award-winning and multi-platinum producer Mario Luciano.
“Romania” is a set of 15 original analog drum breaks, heavily inspired by the rare Romanian fusion, progressive rock, and psychedelic tones and rhythms of the early to mid-’70s. With over 130 kick, snare, hi-hat, conga, bongo, cymbal, and percussion one-shots—each break delivers its own distinct texture, character, and swing, complete with multiple fills and ghost notes to avoid repetitive patterns. Recorded and processed through analog tube gear, vintage mics, natural room reverbs, the EMT 140 plate, the RE-201, and tape machines, this collection captures the authentic warmth and raw feel of an obscure Eastern European record. Perfect for sound designers seeking fresh cadences and grooves beyond the standard 4/4 click, “Romania” offers vibrant, era-specific breaks that spark new chord progressions and melodies.
