In short, the Drum Library series has become an industry standard. The ever-expanding, go-to kit for beat makers around the world. Now, with the conclusion of the series at Volume 15, you hold in your hands, what will be the last vinyl incarnation of the Drum Library series. These drums actually constitute what would have originally been Volume 4 and 5 before the masters were initially thought to have been lost in a flood that gutted the studio where, up until then, the Drum Library series were made. Fortuitously perhaps, these last two “orphaned” volumes were discovered safe \u0026amp; sound in a storage unit just as Vol.15 was wrapping up. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"LP | x2","offer_id":50453360247115,"sku":"1013559","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/ec70bbfe-1940-4bba-aae5-1e1858e283f9_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727171098"},{"product_id":"drum-library-vol-6","title":"Drum Library Vol. 6","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe sixth volume of Paul Nices drum library completes where the rest left off.
