The frame drum is one of the oldest instruments on the planet. People have been playing it around fires for thousands of years.

So naturally I recorded one and made it sound like it lives inside a Nintendo cartridge I blew on in 1989.

That’s CARTRIDGE doing the damage. Four generations of console audio, and I went straight for the crunchiest setting because restraint has never been my thing.

Then I tracked a live loop on the kit, put two instances of PRISM across the whole mess, and spent way too long soloing individual bands like I was defusing a bomb. Splitting drums by frequency and treating each band differently sounds nerdy right up until you hear it. Then you can’t stop.

Thousands of years of tradition, thirty seconds of bitcrushing, and a multiband glue job to make it all get along. It’s time for a ham sandwich.

CARTRIDGE and PRISM are both out now for Mac and PC. Get them here: https://yurtrock.com/products/the-prism-cartridge-plug-in-bundle-vst3-au-aax

Confession: I spent a truly irresponsible number of hours this year making drums sound like they’re coming out of a console I begged my parents for in 1991.

CARTRIDGE is out now. 🎮

It runs your drums through four generations of game-console audio, from crunchy 8-bit bleeps all the way up to that “we have CD-quality now and we’re very proud of it” era. 300 presets, sorted by effect type, so you can find the exact flavor of crushed you’re after without blowing on anything first.

It’s zero-latency, it sounds like your childhood, and unlike your original cartridges, nobody’s going to tape over your save file.

Recorded a quick groove in the studio today, then ran it through PRISM to show you what it can do.

I built PRISM as a multiband processor for drums. It splits the kit into bands so you can push the low end, add bite to the snare, or open up the cymbals without one change messing up the rest.

Here’s the part I didn’t expect. Once it was working, I started putting it on everything, and the master bus is where it really surprised me. That’s the Ableton footage at the end: PRISM on a full mix, adding weight and shape to the whole track. Drums are where it started, but it’s turned into one of the first things I reach for on any session.

I’m thrilled to announce that Darren King Vol. 1 is now available on Yurt Rock, no subscription required.

As the drummer behind MUTEMATH, Darren has spent years making grooves that hit hard, never sit still and sound like nobody else. He recorded and mixed every loop, hit and kit in this collection himself, in his own studio. That means his room, his tuning and his mix, captured exactly the way he hears it.

Enjoy 6.2GB of content, including:

318 drum loops
502 one-shot samples
13 multitrack sessions
3 MASCHINE kits
3 BATTERY kits
3 SPD-SX Pro kits
24-bit / 48 kHz WAV files

It’s yours to keep with one payment and an instant download, and it’s 100% royalty-free. For a limited time, you can grab it at the intro price of $39 (regular $49). LINK IN BIO!

Multiband for people who hate multiband plug-ins. Introducing PRISM. 🌈⃤

Watch your drums split into four colors. Turn DISPERSION to widen the kit. Turn REFRACT to smear each hit into a spectral flam. That’s the whole learning curve, and the per-band controls are there when you want to go deeper.

It works on a drum bus, a single snare, a loop or a full mix. $49 intro (reg. $69).

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about Pick Pocket and how to use it. Here’s one of my favorite things to do with it: record a live drum groove using Voice Memos, drop that recording directly into Pick Pocket, and convert it to MIDI. Then you’re free to use any drum sound in any DAW—all in a matter of seconds, without a fancy studio or a lot of mics.

You can download and try Pick Pocket for free. It’s a great tool for converting any drum recording to MIDI while retaining the original, unquantized feel. Let’s make drums feel human again.

Drag your drums from 1950 to now. 🥁

DECADE is out today. It's a sonic time machine for your drums, and the whole thing runs on one control: pick a year and the entire chain follows. The console, the room, even the format the record was heard on. Tube radio in the '50s. Vinyl in the '70s. Cassette in the '80s. MP3 crunch in the 2000s.

Drag sideways to change the year. Drag up to make the room bigger. 1974 and 1979 don't sound the same here, because they didn't sound the same then.

It's an effect, not a sample pack, so it works on the drums you already have: a loop, a single snare, the full bus, the whole mix. 120 presets across eight decades. AU, VST3 and AAX, Mac and Windows.

Launch price is $49 (reg. $69). Not sure yet? The free demo is the entire plug-in, every decade and every preset, on your own drums for as long as you like. No card, no iLok.

Turn your sound on and listen to what happens at 1984.
