Live Drum And Bass Drums – K J Sawka

10 years ago -when Drum’n’Bass was very near it’s zenith in popularity, – someone played KJ Sawka an LTJ Bukem track, and, as he says, “It scorched my brain. I dropped everything, and focused solely on how to recreate that on the drums.”

Seeing Kevin Sawka on the drums is the only way to believe the hype. He can play the most complex of Jungle, Drum’n’Bass and Breakbeats utilizing no loops and no extended samples -only his two hands and two feet.  If you can catch him in the right moment –live, at a show, or in a studio session- you’ll witness him perform each and every 808 bass kick, snare slap, and compressed high hat tick himself, in real-time – now you have the chance to capture the essence of this man within your own recordings – using the ‘KJ SAWKA – Live Drum and Bass Drummer’ sample package from Loopmasters.
