What are the 10 best one shot kits (free and paid) in 2021? Let’s find out!
One shot kits are probably the most popular type of kits out there right now.
Everybody is using them.
The problem is… the internet has been literally FLOODED with one shot kits.
Which are the ones that are worth using?
Today I’ll try to answer this question. I will divide this list into two sections.
One for the FREE KITS and one for the PAID ONES
Let’s start with the 5 best free kits
1. PAUL FIX – KONTAKT ONE SHOT KIT
I know this might sound overconfident, but I’m 100% sure this is THE BEST FREE KIT available right now (at least that I’m aware of… 😆)
In order to make this kit I used several real instruments (especially guitars) and I manipulated each sample with Virtual Analog plugins in order to obtain a warmer and fuller sound.
The kit contains:
-5 bass
-8 bells
-6 flutes
-8 guitars
-9 keys
-6 synths
Here you can watch a video where I preview the kit

Now… let’s continue with our list of best free one shot kits
2. KYRES BEATS – COLORS (LITE)
I think Kyres Beats might be one of the most overlooked producers in the scene.
He was among the first ones (*probably the 1st one) who started the one shot kits wave, but unfortunately not a lot of people give him credit for that.
Also…. his one shot kits are ABSOLUTELY FIRE
“Colors” is a great selection of 17 super high quality Instrument One Shots from the Colors One Shot Kit. (the full version contains over 70 sounds)
– 2 Basses
– 3 Bells
– 1 Flute
– 2 Guitars
– 1 Harp
– 1 Lead
