Good sample packs?

[Marzz]

Try finding samples or sample packs of Roland Drum Machines like 909, 808 or 606 samples.

These usual layer well together and layer well with other samples.

Thanks man. Good idea. I might buy a Roland drum machine. A lot of history on those things.

don't do that, unless you are live performing with one or want to start a collection, it's a waste of good money. An out-of-the-box 808 kick won't sound as good as something that went through tape, tube compressors, carefully eqing et coetera.

A true 808 sounds amazing man. But to justify the pricetag... I guess I see your point. Still, they sound insane when you start tweaking them live.

808 kicks are heavenly as a sub bass and 808 claps are really punchy. All around great sounding. I believe that the RZA said that he used the 808 or some other drum machine for some of the Wu Tang Clans beats but not too sure on that one.
