Good question. For me, as far as drum libraries, its always quality before quantity. Take your time because, you wont get to have 1 folder with 1000 GREAT kicks. Thats way to hard to judge on.
If your straight making hiphop beats. What you also can do is this:
Kicks
- Best (the type of kicks you really like, like instant, like top notch)
- Bassy kicks (808 so on)
- Spaced-out kicks (kicks you generally dont like but can be used in a stacking-situation, diversity
- Trashkicks - Which you can decide if you want or delete at the end.
Snares: The same. Og defined by what sound they have like, snapping, sloppy whatever. Just some ideas.
You have to trust your ears atleast wiht a such a big library and filter out everything that sounds "alike" because you dont need 1000 GREAT kicks if they all sound pretty much alike. as well as you do NEED som wierd kicks to play around with. the same for snares.
If your into different genres, just put them in a genre folder where you think you might get good use for them
