What is a drum sample?
Drum sample is a single audio recording of the musical instrument that usually comes from the percussion family group. In electronic music production drum samples are used to create a rhythm section of the song.
Top music producers and sound engineers rely on a big collection of drum samples in their library. And not only hip hop, trap or EDM producers do that. It’s widely known that even in genres like heavy metal and hard rock sound engineers layer drum samples over the live recording of the drums (just listen to the works of the legendary Bob Rock or Randy Staub).
Most of the time (if the song is not an acapella or a classical piece) drum samples are a backbone of a great sounding mix, and fresh drum samples have always been in high demand. Having access to HQ downloads of free drum kit collections will always be a sacred resource, as this is what helps producers fast-track the quality of their beats.
Often a cool sound of a snare/clap or a kick inspires a producer to make a beat. Or just changing the sample of the kick in a beat that has been already produced makes a day and night difference in quality. And that means—just by changing a couple of samples of the drum kit section you can even revitalize your 5 year-old demos and make them sound fresh, quickly.
So if you’re working on your computer and making urban genre beats like hip hop, trap, HQ drum samples is a must. Nothing will translate the grooves that you have in your mind into the ears of your fans like percussion samples, kicks, snares, hi hats recorded in world-class studios and designed by experienced sound designers.
Although almighty search engines are doing a great job to help producers find high-quality drum samples, sometimes this process just steals from your beat-making time.
This sacred list has been made to help you save time, so you can start making beats ASAP!
