where 2get drums?

IM trying to figure out which is a good machine to get solid drums from
ive heard the asr-10 got ridiculous drums to throw into the mpc, also the dr rythm, and triton
Im just trying 2 get a general idea of anybody that has used some machines and thrown the drum samples into the mpc

i just sample my drums from records, chop, layer, mess with the freq. on my mpc and i also use kits that i've acquired over time and drums from my motif rack.. if u stack your drums u should get some knockin loops..1

how many layers would u say?
normally i do just 2

I jus get sample CD's, dump em in Pro Tools and fuks wit da frequency
and pitch

I normally sample from my roland 307, sample cd's or sample from my favorite rapper's cd.....Sometimes I use EastWest sample cd's

it depends.. sometimes i stack like 3 claps and 2 snares all together to make a super snare/clap combination sound..

use records. depends on the sound u want though, if you want that lil jon s**t, then use the machines. but for the good stuff def. records!

dog, thats real, i cant stress how important it is to chop up your own kits from breaks. u gotta to do it to understand. i was sleeping on this for the last year.

yeah it is real easy to wanna go out and buy stuff, but i started learning more and more from chopping breaks into individual hits, as well as other pieces of music. it opens a lot of doors.

it gives you more control over your sound & thats always a good thing.

Id stay away from the triton, as far as drum presets go. I do not like its drums at all, its the weak point. But of course there is plenty to work with if you feed it some samples. I can spot a triton drum from a mile away. plus they are literally weak....need to be tweaked alot.

But as far as presets, ive heard some good ones on the motif, adn i own the mophatt and the PX7 (the drum version of the mp7) yeah its drums are nice.Usually what i do is sample most of my drums from the EMU after i tweak them with the filters.

But if it helps maybe search for a EMU sample cd or motif sample cd. There are tons on ebay, i actually bought one from a member on this site THat way you dont have to go out and buy a mophatt module. EMU actually at one point offered the mophatt module on a sample cd meant for emu samplers....but im sure you can find some third party cds with the same samples...ive heard some and they are some of the same drums.

If i where to get a sound module for drums though, it would be an EMU mophatt with the expansion cards. THe secret is in the filters and layering. I think the mophatt is worth it for its filters. If all i had was the preset drums, id tire them quickly, but with ability to alter them makes it great. Tweak the drums, then sample them into the mpc.

I totally agree....i use to be lazy and just try to find samples off the internet. the best are in the breaks.....plus you get good at knowing how you want your sounds, and can start sampling more. I never really started sampling my own equipment-like my emu...until i got into breaks. Now all i do is sample drums..and try to make them sound like breaks
