Looking for percussion samples

Ey, im lookin for some records i can chop out percussion sounds such as shakers, tablas, congas, bongos and what not, im going for more of a subtle ethnic sound.

get spanish records

you got any favourites?

Sergio Mendes and the Brasil' 66 or Brasil' 77 (Brasil' 66 was better IMO)
Any Mongo Santamaria records

you will not be disappointed.

Percussion sounds, just buy the actual instruments. It adds a much better feel to your music. If I stumble across some percussion that sounds good I'll use it, but for the most part, finding cheap dope instruments is just as rewarding as diggin' for wax.

simply buying percussion instruments isnt a very realistic answer, since i wudnt be able to play like the professionals on records, and i wouldnt get the same sound because they were recorded environments that i do not have access to

You can't play shakers? A tambourine? A rainstick??? Sample it and assign it to a pad. Just like sampling from wax but your the one creating the sound. Believe me duke, you don't have to be a professional to play some spoons!

The Command Record label has alot of good Percussion records, that you can find at most Thrift shops.

For instance:
