STBB #730 - Collecting Sounds

Recently I got back into field recording.
It`s fascinating how many sounds are to find which you can implement into your beat.
That might be rhythmic structures, harmonic tones (maybe make a piano out of it) or simply a broom that sounds like a hi-hat.
I put together a few sounds that I collected in the course of time. Most of them are urban sounds.

Rules:
Build your Drums/Rhytmic elements from sounds out of the field recording folder and use one of the provided samples.
You can layer your Drums with your own Drum samples.

No: other outside music samples.
Yes: Outside drums and bass, played instruments, VST, vocal chops,…feel free to go field recording too

SAMPLES:

The Fine Print
Upload your beat to Soundcloud, include "STBB ###. weeknumber “ in the title, and POST TO THIS FORUM by Wednesday at Midnight, Pacific time.
Try to leave as much feedback as you can and you will receive it back.
For easy browsing's sake, you can also go to the STBB page: soundcloud.com/stbbcollection
Label entries that are posted after the deadline as 'late entry' and entries that don't comply with the rules as: 'non-entry' in your track title.

Nice rules and samples! Working with the field recording was quite challenging but i enjoyed it.

no outside drums - i used the tumbler for the kick, bolt and ring for the snare, broom for the hats.
bike chains for the percussion

initially the sounds got me thinking about "biking" from frank ocean but i couldn´t find an acapella so i stumbled over godspeed.
sublab for some bass and i filtered the sample with a LP filter. the sloppy chops made it all a bit wonky but i just kept it like this.

Man it's been a while. Felt good to make a beat again. Naturelleboombap, congrats on that win last week and for introducing this dope concept. I used the Audiospur as the main sample and layered in the broom, bolt and flame into the drums. The handrail was used as a chorus accent. This track made me feel like I opened up a mummy's tomb and unleashed a spirit. Hope y'all like.
