ok cool i see it at the top now i put my Glasses on

Your way of obtaining drum kits and using them is generic and downright sucks. Layering and tweaking drums is not only work (which you seem to despise) but a fine way to craft your own signature. Why use your chronic coughing uncle's spoon when you can go to the draw yourself and fetch a clean spoon? Thats what your doing homeboy! You don't use someone else's kit and not flip them. Sampling is a dark art, people think its just recording a snippet of a piece and make it repeat, but the art is far deeper than that. Its kind of like taming a dragon and making him yours, not just chaining him up and leave him in the yard and feed him twice a day. The dragon becomes one with the master. Remember that and don't babysit kids that love dragons, because you'll watch 6 hours of it and start talking like me.

i only take the drum sound not loops i buy sample cd like this then i make kits up snares and bass drums i dont own a turn table i add effects and flip them but i like to buy sample cd with kits in folders already to go

Breakbeat jazz is the Sh**t, i have vol 1, i did not use the drums much tho, but the ep chops are pretty cool

You can get drums from anywhere. That's the great thing about using samplers. You can essentially turn any sound into a "drum" if you tweak it long enough. It all depends on the sounds you want to hear, though. I'm not too keen on finding a direct sound, and just using it as plain as it was when I got the sound. That's no fun... But whatever suits you.

Just listen to music and open drums will show up. And after a while you're gonna have quite a few, some you really like and some you dont. And after sorting through everything you have your own drums.

drums are everywhere... I've used the sound a skateboards make when they hit the ground over top of snares before. layer drums too and pitch them all sorta ways...you'll find something good. arrabb muzik is only good at live sets... dude aint nothing special when hes maken beats though, IMO. just had to say that last part there...guys overrated

If you want to develop your own truly signature drum sound, first find yourself some source sounds, e.g. sample from old records, record your own drums or as people have pointed out, sample any sound that can be eventually shaped into a drum sound.

Then learn how to layer properly - not just simple layering (i.e. entire sound on top of another entire sound), I'm talking about taking small characteristics from a particular sound, e.g. the 'crack' of a snare and piecing it together with a texture taken from another sound, e.g. the decay tail of a different snare etc - using ADSR, frequency/EQ manipulation, adjusting stereo field to get the unique drum sound you're looking for. This type of thing is hard to do in an MPC (possible though), but very easy to do in a DAW. We've got various books and videos that explain how to do this.

Alternatively if you'd rather spend your time writing music rather than sound design, find a site that does all the hard sound design work for you. Blowing my own trumpet here, but at MPC-Samples.com, we've been lucky to have a true craftsman in Eddie Bazil build all our sounds - he spends weeks working on each pack literally 'painting' montages of sounds, at which point I chime in and hand pick all the best sounds and build the MPC kits and programs from them.

i get my drum samples from vinyl, i especially love the vintage old school drums of the jazz records

help support this forum and buy tutors kits, they bangin!

lol, i still use the drum hits sample cd i got with my very first mpc in 1999, the MPC2000XL Vol.1.. it's still awesome and versatile in tone and texture

other than that i have been collecting drum/percussion hits for +15 years, and it's from various sample cd's and drum libraries, online sample packs etc etc.. and i save all my drum recordings so that the material can be reused with work already done.. which tend to add more character when you continue to work and layer to sculpt the drum sounds

My drums are part sampled romplers and part hunted from vinyl. I find it really hard to get hihats from vinyl, open and closed hihats the you can set a choke group to are rare.

I'm hesitant to buy drum kits but pitched multisampled instruments that are os(2)xl [inst] format however… that's where its at!
