Obtuse Rhythms with Ian Chang

Every once in a while, someone comes along who pushes the envelope of their instrument. Professional percussionist Ian Chang has evolved the concept of what a drum kit can be. For his second Splice Originals pack, he created sounds in his signature avant-garde drum style that range from clean to abstract, from conceptual to cosmic.

Splice Originals: Obtuse Rhythms encourages you to think beyond the drum kit for sounds that can be used in everything from hip hop to juke to drum and bass—or anything that needs tight breaks. Dig into acoustic drum loops, prepared drums, found object percussion, and foley textures.
