im a new producer and im trying to build up my drum catalogue... ive been looking online at some drum discs but im not sure if I wanna buy drums from some random company who probably dont know anything about good sounding hiphop drums.. i bought an AWESOME drum disc called "The Dirty 30" from the producer M-Phazes thru his myspace page and i've downloaded a few of those home-made dj premier discs that are floating around but I wanna buy drum kits that come from a reputable source.. can you guys recommend any other producers that release "official" drum discs or can you recommend good companies that are releasing good drum discs?
This question is asked daily.. the search function can be your friend. that being said i think the best drum sounds come from records.. as for people who make sample packs.. Check out http://sonicspecialists.com http://www.goldbaby.co.nz/
Obi has nice drums too http://www.obiaudio.com/ there free altho you should donate...
But yo Records is where its at for real.. for boombap anyhow
lol??? depends what sound hes going for records is yes good for boom bap and sometimes "mainstream" sound but if ur going for that then sample sets are ur best bet. anything is really but ya i wouldnt pay for drums when u can get them free anyways. SO many places offer free kits and demo free kits for potential customers.
so just google free drums and drum sets and see if companies are offering free kits. hope this helps
you can get perfect quality drums for free. grab the deadly drums vol. 1 and 2.. mix up producer kits with drums uve chopped off records... the possibilities are endless.
yea records is the best man , sometimes id sample one record jus to get that one kick man u got to sometimes cause u aint gonna get that sound nowhere else,...
P.S. all the top producers do it do y not u, dre samples old records and eq's the hell out of them
Cosign. I've learned that you can get your drums EXACTLY the way you want them to sound if you play around with EQ. I've made completely new drum sounds from one kit just messing around with the EQ. Compression can also come in handy when determining how hard you want your drums to fit in the mix.
