Out of all the tools at a DJ's disposal (cutting edge audio equipment, beat heavy records, computer controlled lighting, etc), his or her connection with the audience is by far the determining factor of whether the crowd will dance or not. DJ Kramer has been connecting with audiences for over a decade. Known for his distinctive tribal house sound, Dj Kramer gets clubs moving anywhere he plays. In addition to DJ-ing, Kramer has been remixing and producing his own records as half of Methodrone. With his productions getting placements in televsion shows like "CSI: New York" and video games like "WRC FIA World Rally Championship", Kramer is always on the prowl for top quality music making tools and sample sets. Armed with the Discrete Drums series, DJ Kramer emailed to let us know what he's been up to and how tools by Sonoma Wire Works' Discrete Drums product line are helping him make crowds go wild. "I am loving the Discrete Drums libraries. The samples are really clean and of such high quality that they add a whole other dynamic to the music. A lot of times sample libraries sound cheap and don't have rich, true sounding samples which causes them to stand out compared to the software samples we'll create. The DD samples fit right in and sound great."
