Electronic Music other: drum sample libraries
Store
Written May 12 2009
I'm looking for high quality and varied drum sample libraries. I'm thinking mainly dance and "urban" styles, like hip hop, crunk, dubstep, dub, that kind of stuff - shiny shit. It's not that don't want to make my own samples, but some things, like clean snares that don't sound super synthesized, are hard to make (at least for me). Like stuff that comes in the sample memory of keyboards. I'm willing to pay for it, but I'm really not interested in loops - I can make my own drum patterns, thank you very much. What have you guys had good experiences with?

sometimes I man just wants to throw together some quick and dirty dance music. Or music that uses some of the sonic vocabulary of dance. You know what I mean.
Cut up breakbeats! Also, go nuts with these: link . Distort, compress, etc...
I know that's not what you want to hear, but it is more fun this way  You can find huge libraries of this sort of thing really cheap on ebay.
go for soniccouture – they have some nice and not so expensive stuff:
link if you like the sound of loops (ie the snare and hia hats maybe, or just the bass drum) put it in a slicer and you can make your own drum patterns thank you very much
Fant00m - yeah, I know, it's just nicer to have pre-separated drum hits. I cut up breakbeats when I want a breakbeat sound, but that's not what I'm always looking for. Thanks for the inputs.
Anyways, sometimes slicing up drum loops is a pain in my ass.

Thanks for the inputs." theres a whole plethora of drum loops (like yghartsyrt suggested sonniccouture, but all the other lib's makers out there) that are not breakbeat style. If you have ProTools, reaper or cubase, you can load a bunch of loops and render all the transients as one shots. I guess I've always shied away from drum loops in that style; for some reason I always thought it was somehow uncreative. But I guess if I want to make dance music that sounds canned, I have to use canned loops. Thanks for the useful input.
