Memphis Breaks —

Premium Drum Breaks

Memphis soul, ready to be

dropped into your DAW.

Memphis Breaks is a collection of raw, soulful drum performances inspired by the legendary rhythm sections of Memphis in the ’60s and ’70s.

Recorded on a Ludwig Black Diamond Pearl kit with bottom heads pulled — the dry, punchy approach of the classic Memphis sessions. Captured through Coles 4038 ribbon mics and API 3124 preamps, then printed to tape before hitting the DAW. Every stage of that chain was intentional. This is how records were made then.

Whether you're laying a foundation for a new beat, or searching for that undeniable feel you can’t program, Memphis Breaks gives you the sound of a city — remade for a new generation.

Whether you’re making boom-bap hip-hop, or jazz-infused beats, these breaks are ready to drop into your DAW and elevate your tracks instantly.

It’s flawless work coupled with giants.” - Chuck D on “The Masters” (featuring CL Smooth and El Da Sensei)
