Pad Thai Deluxe features the cream of the crop taken from Marco Polo's highly acclaimed and internationally known" Pad Thai" drum kit series.

This is essentially Pad thai on steroids! 24 brand new fully composed beats/pgms including musical, bass and drum elements to get your beats knocking with minimal effort. A mixture of laid back vibes to the dirt and grit of Brooklyn, New York where Marco calls home. Use the presents and demos to catch your own vibe or guide you on a new musical journey. These sounds are ready to rock RAW with minimal processing. Punch, thump and dirt is the name of the game here. Whether it's one shots or chopped original breakbeats. This kit has you covered for the inspiration to produce any modern or old school Hip Hop vibe.
