457 dream pop drum and synth samples for indie, shoegaze, and post-punk music.
Liminal is a focused collection of dream pop samples built around contrast.
Clean sounds. Degraded sounds. And everything that lives in between.
This pack includes drum and synth samples designed for dream pop, indie, shoegaze, and post-punk music — sounds that already carry texture, space, and character without needing much work.
All of the material in Liminal started the same way: simple drum hits and synth tones recorded clean, then intentionally broken down. Some sounds stay hi-fi. Some are degraded through a Casio SK-1. Others sit somewhere in the middle, layered and treated with spring reverb to create width and movement.
The goal wasn’t volume.
It was feel.
What’s included
Liminal contains 457 total one-shot samples, split between drums and synths.
Synth samples (305 total)
61 hi-fi synth one-shots recorded from the UDO Super 6
61 lo-fi versions re-sampled through a Casio SK-1
183 hybrid synth samples layering hi-fi and lo-fi versions with spring reverb for width and depth
These are playable, musical tones — pads, stabs, basses, and melodic textures built for dream pop and indie songwriting.
Drum samples (152 total)
38 hi-fi drum hits created on a drum synth
38 lo-fi drum hits degraded through the Casio SK-1
78 hybrid drum hits combining clean and degraded versions, processed together for balance and character
The drum palette is intentionally small, with just enough variation to cover clean, textured, and in-between sounds without becoming overwhelming.
How it’s meant to be used
Liminal isn’t a massive library or a genre-locked kit.
It’s a dream pop sample pack you come back to when you want:
atmosphere without stacking effects
width without plugins
texture without over-processing
Because everything is already shaped, these sounds tend to fall into place quickly — especially when you’re writing, not sound-designing.

Liminal is intentionally small and opinionated.
That’s the point.
If you’re looking for endless options, this isn’t it.
If you want dream pop drum and synth samples that already feel lived-in and ready to sit inside a song, Liminal does exactly that.

Lot of options here and I can already tell I’ll
Be using these samples on a lot of songs
It's a high fidelity LOFI!✨All you need for your dreamy songs is called Liminal!
Professionally curated by dreampop experts. Ethereal vibe, smooth drums and good variety of sounds. When I tried it I was blown away. Highly recommended
After getting Veil 75 and finding that pack was pretty interesting, then getting some ideas from seeing the posts on Instagram, I ended up getting this pack as well. It's got a ton of dimensionality, I feel like I've just scratched the surface but was able to get pretty interesting sounds following the "liminal" suggested workflow and playing hifi vs lofi in the spectral field. The best part is that out of the box the synth samples are really musical and easy to play in a sampler. I was playing around with the GOOD JOB! and found a really interesting "pad" sound that I paired with a pretty lush reverb, I then used OW! to create a really "funky" FM bass type sound and ended up really jamming out. HIVEMIND then was used to create a short lead, and glued it together with a drum loop and ended up with a pretty fun little demo. I'm excited to keep using this pack, I haven't quite scratched the drum one shots but have been really inspired so far, it's been worth the investment to get all the packs in one suite. Thanks Matt and Tuesday Samples!
