If you layer and filter your drums correctly compression can be avoided most of the time.

8) Word. I chopped the sh!t out of those Cracker Beats series, also on vinyl. I think RZA got his drums there too to do the 1st Cuban Link album and ODB's Return to the 36 Chambers. Cracker Beats came out before Wu exploded.

dont always think that something is wack. its just probably not gonna work BY ITSELF.

u might layer it with something else and get something reallllyyyy nice out of it.

just remember that everything is better with a little tlc.

and the only specific tip i have for u is THERE IS NO DISCRIMINATION WHEN U HAVE IMAGINATION

save all the drums u come across dog


word, sampling 101. if you don't listen and set things aside, you're only hurting yourself. if you hear something kinda cool, whether it be a sample, a drum sound or fill, but it isn't quite what you are looking for, take the 60 seconds to record it and save it in a samples folder. 9 times out of 10 i'm surprised at what I find later that I completely forgot about.

iono about finding drums on "anything" but you can do a lot with filtering, enveloping and eq.

sample every drum you can find and layer'em. mpc's can layer up to 4 kicks at once, so im pretty sure you can get a dope ass "hip hop" kick out of 4 different kicks, you just gotta know eq and compression

when i first started, my drums sounded like shit, now they sound straight. i just kept practicing homiie

I personally like the drums from A Tribe Called Quest recordings. Also, stuff from Gang Starr (DJ Premier). It's all about the old school for me.. 8)
