ABOUT BLAP:
Most beat battles and producer showcases are tailored to industry professionals. Those who attend usually critique a producer on technical aspects of producing, but how would a general party crowd respond?

B.L.A.P. (Beats Love Alcohol Party) was created to answer that question. Take a group of producers - a couple of known veterans and a few undiscovered talents, put them in front of a party and tell them to play their beats - it's that simple. What separates B.L.A.P. from similar events is the interaction between the average music fan and the taste makers, as well as it's casual nature. Instead of the producers being judged by a panel of their peers, they are attempting to keep the crowd rocking.

There is no stage and patrons are encouraged to dance. For the party goer unaware of the scene it becomes a new experience. For the industry pro, the laid back atmosphere provides a more comfortable arena to network & find their next hit producer. Created in September of 2009 by !llmind, multi-platinum producer for artists like 50 Cent, Ludacris, Dr Dre & more, who knows who will show up for this event series. Soon enough, everyone will know at B.L.A.P.

Puremix: How to Mix Punchy Drums

I’m really excited to release Vol. 2 of my “Blap-Kit” series. Over the years I’ve collected, processed, and learned so much about drum processing and applied various techniques to my music. I’m so happy to share these sounds with you. Every drum hit contained in this kit is from actual beats that I’ve made. Most producers are reluctant to share their secrets, but my belief is that every producer is different. I want my drums to help inspire you to create amazing music. Make sure you check out BLAP KIT VOL. 1 if you haven’t already! 

* Over 150 NEW drum sounds (kicks, snares, hi-hats, claps, snaps, congas & tambourines) in 16-bit/44 WAV format.
 
* 4 drum-break loops played by !llmind and created from actual drums, eq’d and processed.
 
* All drum sounds were sampled into an Ensoniq ASR-10 AND Akai S-20 at 33khz/12-bit for maximum warmth + punch!
 
NO reverb or delays added make layering easy and more flexible.
 
NO compression or saturation/flat “pancake” sounds.
 
* Carefully mastered “under-zero”. NO nasty “digital-clipping”.
 
* All drum sounds were hand-picked, created, and stripped by !llmind himself from his personal drum stash.
 
* Includes drum kits used on 50 Cent/!llmind produced songs such as “All His Love”, “When I Pop The Trunk”, “Stop Cryin’”, “Queens”, “Make A Movie” for the ultimate STREET CRUNCH!


“!llmind speaks on DJ Premier wanting his drums..”

“It literally has changed my career…literally, and I’m not trying to play ass kisser here or anything.  I sold my first beat a couple months ago using that kit and I haven’t made a new beat since I bought it that hasn’t utilized it in some way.  So, again, thank you for sharing with us.” - JUSTIN K.

“One of the hardest parts of being a producer is sitting down with a blank slate and trying to create something original and worthwhile. I love the !llmind blap kit because the sounds are so crisp and refined that I can start with nothing but these drums loaded into a sampler and very quickly come up with the foundation of a quality track.” - NATE E.
