UK Drill in Sonic Pi
# UK Drill Beat in Sonic Pi
# Tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELA339I4NwY
# Note : this Sonic Pi Sketch relies on you having certain drill type drum samples
# Put them in the directory referenced in the variable called sampleKit
# you'll need samples called hat.wav, hat2.wav, kick.wav, snare.wav and noise.wav
