Easiest way?

You own a sampler don't you? Sample the damn drums in already. Headphone out of your PC to record in on your MPC.

Sh*t is not that hard.

Honestly.

what mpc do you have? can't help you if you don't bother to include the basic info.

if it has usb, just drag and drop. check your manual for the correct naming format and file format.

I hate to spoil the party that's gett'n ready to get started here, but I think your idea of how this works is a little cloudy. I'd say scrap it unless you install whats been suggested. First, the mpc that you have doesn't have host to computer usb capabilities. That's the basis of how that works.

So you'll have to go the card reader route if you want this to happen (which technically, isn't a bad thing imo).

*plus if you're lacking a cf card reader on your computer, install one, it's easy as h*ll to do*
