The Starboy Outtatown Drum Kit — a cult favorite among lo-fi trap and alternative R&B producers — falls firmly into the second category. It doesn’t just sit in your samples folder. It haunts it. Named as a cryptic nod to The Weeknd’s blinding-lights era and a fictional town on the edge of a highway nobody remembers, this kit feels like driving through neon fog at 2 a.m. with the radio cutting in and out.
