listen to a lot of music, and i mean a LOT

different breaks come from different music. i listen to a lot of middle eastern and indian percussion. you have to switch it from some crazy time sig back to 6/8 or 4/4 (i'm slowly branching into something else) but it works.

just seeearch. don't limit yourself to any genres. dig dig dig.

OK

go to google, and search for free drum samples. free drum loops. free drum breaks. that will get you what you need

also look for sample cd's and drum cd's. there's maaaaannnnyyyy sites out there to get you those. drums are really easy to come by. dont limit yourself to just sampling from vinyl

do you guys usualy take 1 break and chop that break for 1 kit? Or do you use different samples from different breaks in the same kit?

i do both. but they usually get all mixed up when i assign them to pads. whatever sounds good for that particular track i use....

but i do both

Here's a great break some of the illest drums.

Find records from Clyde Stubblefield. Or get a sample cd with his breaks. "DNA Beat Blocks Groove Construction Kit" for example
Or go to a record shop (more of a dj shop) en find the turntablism section and start diggin´ for breaks. There should be plenty of them!

These are the break-kings of my crates:

-Dj Krooger Vol. 4 - The ultimate Break beat
-Second to none - Volume Five (old skool hip hop & Funk CLassics
-Battlewax records - dj production tools vol1
-dj Shadow presents The Art Of Shadow Beatin !
-Motown rec. - The big wheels of motown
-James Brown - The popcorn
-Insane B-boy breaks - Ultimate breaks & bits
-Master Drummers Volume 4

+ a crate of jazz

the "Second to none" mentioned, includes the wonderful "Keep on dancing" from Alvin Cash. Instrumental version! + various breaks and little pieces of breaks . mostly 1 or half a bar.

sample a break doesnt matter what is playing with it i mean bass piano guitar **** it the mpc is a magnifing glass for those drums in trim. once u make a perfect loop doesnt matter if its sound makes sense either it could sound totally fuked but your not actually going to use that sample. see then you get a sample cd or record sounds of single drum shots clean samples of kicks snares highhats open hats only and make that beat on your own if you learn to use math you can make each event go off exactly the same time it did by the drummer. i remade a james brown beat crazy ass beat tons of events even though i could have used his original drums there were no other instrumets played over i could have just looped it
but now i can claim that beat as my own i programed every event and used my own sounds plus i changed it up a bit and it quantised perfectly
also finding clean hits off record is hard i collect kicks snare high hats one at a time i may find just one hat in 20 records but its gold

Or you can just get some of those strickly breaks records.

not trying to be an a-hole but you just gotta put in the time and listen to records you'd be surprised what you can find. that's why it's called diggin' I found one of the illest drum breaks on a gospel record.
