Kick Drum is a free collection of electronic kick drum samples crafted by 8-bit Logic, featuring 120 key-labeled bass drum samples in total.
Apart from the free kick drum samples in WAV format, the download also includes SFZ and NKI patches for each kick sample.
The free download link is located at the end of this article.
The Library – Free Kick Sample Pack
Kick Drum contains 120 analog-style kick drum samples. The included kick samples are production-ready.
The samples are available as WAV files and Kontakt patches. The provided patches are already mapped across the keyboard, making it easy to match the selected kick drum to the key of your project.
Choose the kick patch, play the desired MIDI note in the piano roll, and you’re done. This makes 99Sounds Kick Drum an absolutely perfect addition to our popular 99 Drum Samples collection.
The Instrument – Free Kick Samples For NI Kontakt
If you own the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt, you can also use the provided NKI patches, which feature a fully customized user interface.
You can control various sound parameters such as envelope attack and decay, pitch envelope amount and speed, and HP/LP filter cutoff and resonance. The high-pass filter is especially handy in this case because you can use it to boost the low end of your kick drum at higher resonance settings.
The panel also provides hands-on control over five built-in effects (bitcrusher, sample rate reducer, tube saturator, tape saturator, and reverb) and output volume.
You can easily browse through the available patches using the two arrow buttons in the top part of the user interface.
Please note that the NKI patches will only work for fifteen minutes at a time in the free Kontakt Player (this is a demo limitation of the free version of NI Kontakt).
The Artist
The included samples were created by 8-bit Logic, a UK-based sound designer and music producer. You can follow his work on his Twitter profile and his SoundCloud page.
A big thank you goes out to our friend Avner M., who provided the SFZ patches.

Hi
I’ve been trying to download this file but I think that it’s a wrong fille because it takes me to cinematic sound effects.
Link updated, sorry for the confusion!
Hey thanks for the great sounds. Would really love this download, but when I download, it says file not supported. I’m using a Mac. Thanks a lot
Hey once I’ve downloaded it, how do I open the software in Logic?
You will need to install NI Kontakt or Kontakt Player first.

You need the full version of Kontakt to remove the demo limitation. I wish I had better news but that’s simply how Kontakt Player and Kontakt work.
