Do you know the difference between a producer and someone who just makes beats? Which one are you? A true producer studies music and understands what it takes to make a hit song. A producer can see things from an artist's perspective. They have a cinematic vision for a track before it even comes together.
With the advent of Fruity Loops and similar computer programs, anyone with a laptop and a passion for music can produce high-quality, head-nodding beats. These technological advances have leveled the playing field, and to be honest, some of your favorite industry producers aren't too happy about it. How do I know? Well, I've been attending and running production seminars with industry producing heavyweights for over 10 years.
What separates amateur beat-makers from those who are able to break through and become successful industry producers? Drum-kits and plug-ins. If you've ever talked to any industry producer, the first thing they will tell you about production is that “YOUR DRUMS GOT TO KNOCK.” Timbaland, Dr Dre, Scott Storch, Just Blaze, The Drumline, Heatmakers, J.R. Rotem, DJ Premier. All these dudes will tell you that your drums got to bang or else you should just take your keyboard home. Artists and record labels spend thousands of dollars on mixing sounds, mixing drums, mixing beats and mastering tracks, just to get the drums to knock. Engineers like The Mix King Steve Sola, Jay Z's man behind the boards Young Guru and free-lancer Jeff Crews get paid more than most people make in a year just to crank individual drums sounds for the G-Unit, Roc-A-Fella, and Bad Boy.
The key is to use industry drums. It's all about producing with industry kits. The pre-installed sounds on your Korg or Yamaha keyboard are wonderful for demo records and even some mixtape production, but in order to turn any heads in the industry, you need to be using industry sounds.
If you have the skills, then you need access to industry-level resources, which is sometimes a catch-22. How can you gain access to exclusive, expensive insider resources if you're not on the inside and you're strapped for dough? It's all in who you know. In my time working with producers from all ends of the spectrum, I've heard amazing work and seen great potential in underground producers who just needed a few resources and a few connections to get them in the door. We created the Producer Resource Network to serve the needs of any producers who are serious about their craft and who are willing to work together to achieve their collective artistic and career goals.
We are now offering some of the greatest, top-notch industry drum-kits for instant download. Our goal is to arm you with the same resources used by the industry cats.
Each kit has been engineered, processed and tested by highly-paid industry engineers and producers. The sounds have been isolated, cleaned, purified, and amped with the aid of the best, top-of-the line production equipment, including the SSL board, industry plug-ins and rack adjustments. These kits offer extreme value and are 100% top-of-the line and they are now available for only 4.99 each. That's right, for less than the 5 bucks you can find in your couch, or in change in your car, you can now download an actual industry drum kit and get started making top-quality production right now. Again, our goal here at the Producer Resource Network is to take the exclusive, high-quality industry resources and to make them available to anyone and everyone who is serious about their music and who sees music as more than just a hobby.

Please don't download these kits if you're just going to fool around with them in your basement and make bad beats for your little brother to rap over with his friends. These drum kits are intended for use by producers who are serious about their craft and who are looking to take their production to the next level by adding new sounds and higher-level drums that really leap out of the speakers.
Good producers are well-rounded. And, if you're serious about a career in the industry, you should probably spend more time networking and reading than you do producing. If you're content to be the king of basement and you love getting high-fives while getting high with the local screwballs who pay for beats with bad ganja, then read no further. But, if music is your passion and you enjoy more than one type of music and you take pride in your work, then we encourage you to download these kits while they are still available and to get to work. The music industry waits for no-one.
Best of luck. Hit us up and let us know what you've come up with. We've heard some serious heat from these kits already and we've gotten great feedback, so keep sending us your tracks. In fact, if your ish is really knocking, we'll consider it for placements on our radar sceen. So, get to work!!!
