Anyone found any cool drum samples?

[JerryD]

Hi all,

I was going to put this in the drum section but I didn't want to piss off all the drummers.

I'm using Acid pro 2.0 for my drum loops.

I'm trying to do songs with straight rock and alternative country.

I don't need any funky drums just straight rock.......type.

Know of any good samples out there that I can use?

Thanks in advance, Jerry

Jerry - Check out this site:

They sell a $99 CD of samples, but give you a bunch free for download on the site. I put together a short song using their samples which you can find on my mp3.com page (it's called "Loopes des Fruites" -- guess which drum program I used...)

I think the samples sounds great. The cymbals sound very natural with a nice long decay.

Also, search for "Fruity" on the bbs and you'll find a thread that I started on Fruity Loops... in that thread, people recommended samples on the internet, including 2dudes.

Thanks.

You think the two dudes CD is any good?

Sorry to say you'll still have to sift through techno and dance stuff, but you may find what you're looking for without shelling out the extra $.

I haven't bought the 2 dudes CD, but I believe that I will. I've used their free download samples on a couple songs, and I love them. The drums sound real... much better than other things I've found out there.

And you can rationalize the cost away-- $99 2 dudes + $50 fruity loops = $150. That's competitive with a drum machine, right? And much more flexible.
