i've really been getting into collecting drums as of late. mainly because i lost many throuhg some computer problems. it's actually become pretty fun for me...i luv finding that kick with just the right amount of reverb to it and umph...or a clap from a soulful song that actually soundsl ike a real clap..... it's real fun to just look thru cds or records and chop at what you can find whenever you're bored and it allows you to have drums that are set apart from everyone else who is using industry drums or trading the same old drum kits that everyone has (used 2 do that).

How many of you sample your own drums and use them? What typa resources are you using? What typa effects have you found work best for them?

Me personally, I'm findin that u can get imo some of the best snares and kicks off of rock records becuz they bang real hard and work real well for an oldschool hip hop vibe....soul music is real hot for percussion and claps...i'lll even sample from dr. dre and **** as long as it's hot
