So far from what Ive seen, most of the MPC users Ive found on the web seem to be more hip hop/rnb oriented. ...so most of the soundsets and cds that are available have samples that are more geared toward that style.
I work on some Rnb Type beats, but I also like heavier electronic music like KMFDM or Front Line Assembly.
Does anybody know where I can get drum samples more suited for this type of music?
Its just that I dont want to shell out all the $$ for some of these sample cds Ive seen until Im sure I can do what I want with them.

If there is a music store near you that rents equipment, rent an appropriate synth that has the sounds you want and sample it into your MPC.

I do that and it's a great cost-effective alternative to expensive sample CDs.

Hardsoundz.com sells industrial style sounds, if that helps.

Now THATs what Im talking about.......
I liked the samples enough, I grabbed one of the CDs off the site just now. Thats the kind of drum sounds Im looking for. I tried digging some stuff off some old Front Line Assembly Cds I had lying around, but that dont work too good usually.
THx, toecutter.......if you know of anymore sites like that, hit me up.......
...
get my drum arsenal ready and make the crowd panic like a bomb threat..
peace

The God has spoken. No problem, that's what I'm here for. There's also a series called Methods of Mayhem, I think it's made by Eastwest or maybe by big fish audio, you can probably find them at guitar center or find them on their respective sites....
