What’s Inside the Coca Cola Drum Kit?
Inside this sample pack, you’ll find 200+ high-quality WAV files - compact in size but packed with punch. Designed with creativity and versatility in mind, the sounds include:
Kick-like thumps from crushed and dropped cans
Sharp snares and rim-style hits using various can surfaces
Tonal metallic percussion for layering and accents
Textural FX made from dragging, tapping, and striking different parts of aluminum cans
A few satisfying can openings to round things out
Every sound has been recorded and processed to retain its natural impact while sitting cleanly in a mix. No over-processing - just raw, unique percussion.
Why Use Metallic Drum Sounds?
Metallic percussion has a sharp, cutting quality that can bring rhythmic clarity and texture to your tracks. The Coca Cola Drum Kit is great for producers who want to experiment beyond standard kicks and snares - perfect for genres like:
Experimental hip hop and lofi production – Add raw, unconventional textures that stand out in lo-fi beats and underground hip hop tracks, enhancing rhythmic detail and sonic character.
Industrial and glitch music creation – Craft harsh, mechanical grooves or broken-beat patterns with metallic sounds that align with the gritty, distorted feel of industrial and glitch genres.
Techno and minimal electronic music – Introduce metallic edge and rhythmic intricacy into stripped-back techno and minimal electronic productions, ideal for club and underground settings.
Sound design for film, TV, and media – Use unique metallic tones to build tension, underscore motion, or create futuristic ambiences in cinematic and multimedia projects.
Audio for games and mobile apps – Enhance user experience with distinctive percussive elements that add realism, immersion, or stylized grit to game environments and app interfaces.
It's also a great way to add organic grit to clean digital productions.
How It Was Made
This pack was recorded using a Zoom H1N portable recorder and a pair of stereo condensers, capturing the unique sound palette of aluminum cans in various states - whole, dented, crushed, and scraped. Each sound was carefully edited to keep its natural punch and texture intact, giving you raw materials to shape your own sonic identity.
