🥁 Turkey – Analog Drum Breaks Inspired by 1967–1975 Turkish Psych Rock & Folk 🎸

“Turkey” is a collection of 15 original analog drum breaks inspired by the rich textures and grooves of the golden Turkish psychedelic, prog rock, and folk era (1967–1975). Each break delivers its own distinct swing, character, and raw analog grit, complete with ghost notes and fills that keep patterns dynamic and non-repetitive.

Alongside the breaks, you’ll get 145+ drum one-shots (kicks, snares, hi-hats, percussion) processed through vintage analog gear for authentic warmth and punch:

Tube gear ⚡

Ampex 440b tape machines 🎛️

Iconic reverbs like the Roland RE-201 Space Echo, EMT 140, and natural room verbs 🌌

The result is a sonically rich toolkit that captures the feel of late-’60s and mid-’70s heavy psych sessions—perfect for producers and sound designers looking to break free from rigid 4/4 grids and explore fresh cadences.
