SOUNDIRON Motor Rhythms - Kontakt Player Library｜Industrial Rhythm Engine from Car Parts

A Unique Kontakt Drum Library Handcrafted from Real Car Parts

SOUNDIRON Motor Rhythms is a unique Kontakt drum library created by musician and mechanic Jordan Hill, handcrafted and welded from real car parts, featuring 85 distinct articulations. We visited his studio to meticulously record the percussive sounds of each part using both close and far microphone positions. Through deep round-robin and velocity layering techniques, we captured the subtlest dynamic variations, making it a powerful tool specifically designed for industrial percussion and unique sound design.

Compared to traditional drum machines or standard drum libraries, Motor Rhythms offers unparalleled industrial metallic textures and mechanical sounds through the creative repurposing of discarded car parts. This soundtrack library not only provides raw percussive sounds but also includes a wealth of atmospheres, pads, and synth tones processed from the original recordings, injecting a unique mechanical soul into your music.
