No one knows exactly who compiled the original “Patched” kit. Some say it was a producer named Greaf or F1lthy (of Working on Dying) who leaked a folder of their processed one-shots. Others claim it was a fan who meticulously ripped drum hits from Kray’s loosies on SoundCloud—tracks like “Hydrocodone” or “Stevie J and Joseline”—and then manually edited them in Audacity to isolate the hits.
The truth is likely a mix of both. The kit became a folk artifact: updated, re-uploaded, and “re-patched” by dozens of anonymous users. By the time it stabilized, it had become the unofficial starter kit for the entire Slayworld / underground rap revival—used by producers like Ghostrage, Lazy3ird, and even early Playboi Carti affiliates.
This version kept the clipping but trimmed the silence off the tails of the samples to make them "tighter." This is generally considered the best functional version for modern beats. black kray drum kit patched
This was a fan-made attempt to normalize the volume. Why it’s controversial: The user removed the clipping, which neutered the drums. The kicks lost their distortion. Purists deleted this version immediately.
A "Black Kray drum kit" is typically a sample/one-shot collection and MIDI patterns inspired by the late underground rapper/producer Black Kray (aka Black Kray, GODKILLER, etc.), known for dark lo-fi trap rhythms, heavy use of distorted 808s, rattling hi-hats, minimal melodic elements, and an eerie, atmospheric aesthetic. "Patched" usually means the kit has been converted or adapted for use in a software sampler or drum machine (e.g., Ableton Drum Rack, Native Instruments Kontakt/DRUM, FL Studio FPC, Battery, or an MPC) with mapped pads, velocity layers, and possibly added processing presets. No one knows exactly who compiled the original
Before we discuss the "patched" aspect, we must understand the original source. Black Kray’s producer (often Goth Money Records affiliates like Kane Grocerys or working with F1lthy of Working on Dying) utilized a specific sonic palette.

These kits were messy. They were often poorly trimmed. But they had soul.
