finding drums

yo i just started sampling from vinyl fairly recently

i also got an asr-10

and what ive been wanting to do is start making a lot of beats, in quantity, so that i get better with each one (don't waste your time telling me that this is not how to get better.. either way, its what i want to do, (and im not trying to sound bitter))

but what i need right now is to be able to sample some (NICE) drums, without having to look through records for hours for open ones, cause i want to put all my time into working with the asr.
i have ONE "breaks" record that came with my technics. i have used all the drum loops on them, and i know i can still reuse them.

but what should i do, do you think my local record store would have records with open drum breaks on them that are made to be sampled like the one i have? (excuse my noob terminology, maybe there is a name for this type of record).

this is just until i have the time to hunt down my own drum sounds.

thanks in advance

Have you checked out the 300 drum loops on cratekings.com ? Those are nice. You can buy all 300 of them for $30 bucks.

never do this ever!!! simply dig dig dig look for sample records and luckily your run by drum breaks. thats the way your four fathers did it. thats the way you should to

Hmm... 25 bucks for 300 essential breaks?




That's not bad. It saves you money for the real rare stuff. You can even get this compilation for free on the net lol.

I don't know about where you're from, but vinyl is pretty popular in the Twin Cities. So, I assume you start going to the antique shops/record stores/garage sales and start looking.

I went to this antique show and bought this Donald Byrd record from a guy and started talking to him about beats and records. He was telling me he had a lot of break records and great sample sources. I plan on seeing what he's got at this vinyl sale coming up.

The moral of the story is: keep digging and talk to people. Antique shows are great places to meet dedicated vinyl enthusiasts.


However, this is all assuming that you're going to keep the record pursuit up. If not, buy the samples.

in many cases you raise the sell price with that. I would never talk to a seller bout beats or that his/her records are sample source for me.

peace

records by james brown, kool & the gang, idris muhammad, isaac hayes, the barkays, cymande, rufus thomas, curtis mayfield, stax records, motown records, jazzfunk records, old disco 45s, are goods sources for drum samples, but some people say that those records are untouchables...

...but i do!

ok i'll keep my eyes out then


and nah im not gonna get them off that website, cause then i'd have to sample from the headphone jack of my computer.. tbis thread is in the crate diggers section not the nose pickers section

I just buy records and go through the records for any type of samples.
There's no specific genre that has 'those' drums. A lof of time's u'll find nice drums on records u never expected to find nice drumsounds on. They way u sample them can also make a huge difference.

yes, sure

Dig dig dig.

find your own sounds.
it isnt hard

A lot of times folks find things when they're not really lookin for em. Although you're only lookin for drums I'd still say dig for em. More than likely you'll come by a shit load of samples you could flip. If you're lookin for quantity its a win/win. Find a lot of material... use drums you have til you find better. Then when you find better re-visit your work.

Keep your ears open for any tunes that start off with plain drums and have breaks later in the songs.
D'Angelo's Voodoo has a few kicks and claps and snaps that I love

James Brown- Ain't it funky has a very popular basic drumbeat at the beginning with nothing else on it. I'm in the same situation as you for the time being i'm just listening to all the music I have and the moment I hear a drum break or a drum part with no other instruments I take note of it immediately.

8 OH 8 's?


no but seriously the best breaks are the ones people cant tell you about
