How do I get the sample on the same beat as my drum?

Loaded a drum into the MPC but it doesn't match up with the drums I have loaded. Any tips? How are you guys doing it? PLEASE HELP!

I would like to take this moment to point out that I have had my MPC for less than a month now, and I still haven't had to make a thread or even ask a question on this site. I had never owned an MPC before this, and had never used one beyond playing with the pads at GC occasionally.

I'm not above-average as far as intelligence is concerned, and the only resources I've used are the manual, and the internet.

You clearly have the internet, and the manual is downloadable [if you do not have one]. I'm not hating or trying to discourage you. Rather, I'm trying to encourage you, because if you have to look for the information, you might learn other useful things while you're at it. And then hopefully you'll make some killer beats.

Half of the fun of production is learning how to do it and understanding what you're doing. There's a sense of gratification you get from the knowledge of your craft.

^^^ k_roc, I tip my hat to you dude. This sounds like how I went about things when I needed to learn something.

And the only way I would seek help would be after I've tried countless unsuccessful attempts at figuring out something.

But I'd also learn as I went along. So I can relate to what you're going through and wish you all the success at honing in on your skills.
