🥁 Jazz Drums for Kontakt – Authentic Vintage Jazz Drum Sound

Bring the timeless groove of classic jazz recordings straight into your DAW with Jazz Drums for Kontakt 🎷🎶. Designed as both a stand-alone instrument and the perfect companion to our jazz drum loops, this library gives you everything you need to program authentic jazz drum parts, add fills, or enhance loop-based tracks with dynamic intros and endings.

🎤 The Recordings

We captured the magic of a veteran pro drummer playing a vintage jazz kit, featuring:

• 🥁 Leedy & Ludwig 1953 Broadway Model snare

• 🥁 Ludwig Jazz-ette bass drum

• 🥁 Vintage Istanbul & Zildjian cymbals

Recorded with legendary studio gear (Neumann U47, RCA DX, Altec microphones, vintage API preamps & authentic Pultec EQs), these samples deliver warm, rich tones that blend perfectly with both modern and vintage productions.

🎚️ The Mixes

To give you maximum flexibility, every sample comes in two mix flavors:

✨ Classic Mix – Inspired by the legendary Blue Note & Impulse! recordings of the 1960s. Clean, balanced, and ready for contemporary jazz, soul, and beyond.

📻 Vintage Mix – A mono, distressed-sounding blend, created with a Neumann U47 overhead and RCA room mic. Perfect for retro vibes, lo-fi beats, or recreating the charm of long-lost 78s.
