Check out our testimonial from one of the judges on the hit TV show and producer of what we consider the best dancing show on TV:
“Ayo, check it out…Everyone should have at least two or three of these kits in their MPC library! I have all of them loaded into my 2500! Dawg, these sounds are hot!”
Randy Jackson
Judge, Television and Music producer, Bassist
PimpMyMPC sincerely thanks Randy for this testimonial!! Stay tuned in…the ‘Hustler’ kit is on its way!

We’re starting to hear our ‘Dive Bomb’ kick sound from our PRODUCER Kit in hit singles and records! It’s currently notable on Mary J.’s collab with Usher on ‘Shakedown’. We also heard it on a Jermaine Dupri production for Mariah Carey’s new CD coming out next month.
For those of you who asked how we made that sound, we programmed it on a Roland JV-1080 (yes, it’s an 808 kick) back in 2001 for the Backstreet Boys ‘Black and Blue’ World tour. We then applied our multiple EQ & compression techniques to achieve that PimpMyMPC sound!
Remember our Hustler kit is coming out soon! Unfortunately, the price will be much higher than stated in the video but well worth it!
Keep making hits!
The PimpMyMPC team

Ayo, everyone. I just got back from New York. This time I was playing piano for Mariah Carey at Glamour’s ‘Women of the Year’ Awards held in the Avery Fischer Hall inside the Lincoln Center. Nice place.
We did one song. ‘Hero’. What was great about it this time is that we did it with the African Children’s Chior. These kids were great! Beautiful smiles and great attitudes. On pitch, too. I loved them!
I can now take some time to finish up the next kit (The Hustler) for PimpMyMPC before I have to leave for my next gig with Boney James. It’s 90% done. All I have to do is complete a couple of new samples and make program formats for each supported platform. Stay tuned. This is gonna be a hot one!
Worldwide peace,
Eric Daniels

There is NO additional production in our demos. EVERYTHING you hear comes in the kits. We use the 16 levels tuning function on the MPC to make melodies and different tunings of the sounds inside the beats!
