Why do people always want such-and-such producers kits. These people be selling all these producers kits on-line and there may be like two or three sounds that I have heard these procducers use that you can find on any drum kit that doesnt have a producer name on it. It you want a 9th drum kit all you have to do it buy fruity loops cause thats what he makes his beats on. If you want a dre kit go and buy his albums and run it through a wav editor such as soundforge and create your on dre kit. At least you will know that it really came from a dre beat. Stop wasting your money on these B.S. producer kits that these websites are selling. That money can be used for something much better.
~Peace~
 
thats well said. i made that mistake myself. buyin more and more stuff and sounds that i dont need thinkin it will magically make me a hit producer. easy mistake. if i had to do it over again, i wouldn't have bought half of the stuff i have including all of the drums. i only use the same 8 drums out of the 900 i have
 
I have some, never paid tho. I only pay for vinyl and if im luck I will get some nice drum samples, if I don't I still get something interesting to listen to. Got an album with a naked chick sketch, its some demonic type ****. :bat:

I feel you on that having 900 drums. I know alot of people like that. Hell I have about 500 myself. I know people who have over 2000 drums and I can bet that more than half of them are exactly the same drum hits as another one in there library. And guess what, they only use about 20 to 30 of each kind of drum sound which leaves them with an abundance of drum hits they never use. Trying to shuffle through 2000 drums takes to much time away from making a damn beat. Hell if I was smart id just go with the 808 kit for that boom bap sound all the time

i have like 8 gigs of drum sounds and i really only use a small fraction of those sounds. the best kits i have are usually from other people. luckily, i've paid maybe $10 in total on sounds

Thats the way it is...your drums are a reflection of you...You will buy all these kits and never use any of the drums...thats why i will only use drums that i get off of the records that i buy...2 birds with one stone...Loops and drums all for $1...
 
Isley Brothers has some good drum samples to sample from their vinyl btw.

I know I'm not buying any more drum sounds online.

Good thread.
 
I never have and never will purchase a sample cd. I dig deep in the crates and find rare records with open drum hits. I also sample drums through the mic I got. I will also never share my drum kits. Drums are sacred...
Plus, why would u want to buy a sample cd anyway?? why would you want to have the same drums as someone else??
 
jacpot your drums are sick man. i love your ****. i don't care if i have the same drums as someone else because other than like the FL Studio stock sounds i haven't heard many of the drums i've gotten off the net. i layer alot too. i have many beats with maybe 4-7 snares layered

Thanks I put a lot of work into my drums. Sheet i once paid $30 Dollars for a record for the drums. But it had 4 DOPE breaks on it with some sick open snares and some deep kicks.
 
I got mad kits from producers, but I rarely use them. Most i got cause a friend of mine used to work at a studio as an engineer and he would steal them from producers. I have the genuine authentic kits though and not the crap that people resample and sell online. But still i like using my own stuff. Its too easy to sample good drums and EQ them to sound just how i want. Also I got a new program for drums. I will release the name one I decide to co-sign the program. It sounds good from what I have heard so far from other people using it, but its not on my computer yet.
 
Yeah, I have about 5 Gigs of Drums and I don't use but probaly around 200. I try to change up kits about once a month to keep me from getting bored by them, but you would never catch me buying them. I get them for free from my boys on my squad and if it's a producer I like a lot like Illmind, Kev Brown, Jony Fraze, Algorythm, or M-Phazes and I have to have it, I'll just trade or they'll give it to me or my boys.
Peace

I never get a particular producer's "kit". I just find and work with any drums I like, whether they be in a "producer's kit" or wherever. I usually either create my own drums or layer more than one together to get the results I want. I still have yet to cut drums out of break loops and all that, which imma be trying in the near future to get that harder hitting sound.

good thread my man but I dont think 9th really uses any of them shyty stock sounds.
 
4-7 snares layered? If I spend that much time on making a snare sound, it better make me a sammich and give me head. Forget that.

I think sample CD's are wack. Paying for a sample CD is ridiculous when you can do what someone said above... just chop drums out of songs you like. Doesn't matter if it's from a CD, Mp3, vinyl or a freakin' 8-track.
 
i actually don't use sample CD's either because i'm extremely picky about my drums but i can kinda see how being lazy could force you to. would you rather spend hours going through old James Brown and Parliament records for kicks and snares or a buy a sample cd off Ebay for $10 from somebody who's done it for you. Kinda makes sense in a way.
 
as long as it sounds good who cares where you got the drum from? Truth be told I don't think a lot of these cats know how to find drums or they arent patient enough to dig for them. I like gettin drums from 80s records easy to find and for my style work really well. Most people like my drums.

ha, its funny seeing how some of those authentic kits are though. Some that you'd think were really special are not and visa versa. I got access to a **** load where I intern.

Still like making my own though.
