Hip Hop Is Read: Drum Kits

Effective immediately, Hip Hop Is Read: Drum Kits is the new home for all of those kits I posted back in 2008. Many of the links went down. Now they're back up, with twin mirrors for each download (I roll with Hotfile now as well, get familiar). There's nothing too spectacular about these sets. Veteran producers might laugh at them. But they're invaluable to newbs, myself included. Enjoy! Hit me up on the cbox for any comments, suggestions and re-up requests. Uno.
