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.
“Russia” is a set of 15 original analog drum breaks exploring the genres and grooves of Russian cosmic jazz, fusion, prog, and psych from 1968–1974. Drawing inspiration from this early-’70s era, each break delivers its own distinct texture, character, and swing—complete with fills and ghost notes to avoid repetitive patterns. With over 140 kick, snare, hi-hat, percussion, and other one-shots—processed through analog tube gear, tape machines like the Ampex 440b, and vintage reverbs including the RE-201, EMT 140, and natural room verbs—this collection captures the raw grit and authentic feel of classic cosmic and jazz fusion recordings. Perfect for sound designers seeking fresh cadences and rhythms beyond the traditional 4/4 click, “Russia” offers vivid breaks to spark new ideas and chord progressions.
