pretty much i have been on the man hunt for really good percusion one shots for awhile now.

i am working on a really funky house song and have just found out that during all my years of making trance i have completely forgotten about the percs.

the vengeance samples to me sound borng and out dated now..i am looking for real authentic type percussion shots.any companys out there i should be checking out?

Vengeance samples don't really sound out of date to me, still could be a lot of use for them. Wave alchemy has some nice sounds btw

battery libraries. that is all

for the funky house stuff i still think sample magic's CD's over the last 2-3yrs are the best.

Thanks, just bought 2 of them.

I'm still a big fan of the Thomas Penton sample cd's.

As long as there has been no compression done to the sounds, it is goood. Find unprocessed samples when you are dealing with percussion.

@storyteller...avoid thomas penton sample cd's, he jacks samples from other sample libraries and them limits the crap out of them to make them sound usable. They sound good in the pre master mix, but once you master the mix, it sounds harsh and .

I disagree :D. BTW, what you're talking about is mostly the 3rd part. The 1st and second part have much less compression going on.

Have a look at some of the loopmasters stuff.

You can never have enough sample material.

Try looking at the smaller libraries and get lots of them rather than going for bigger libraries.

Also sample drum hits you like from your favourite tracks if you can isolate them and the noise floor is low enough. Alternatively use Waves tools etc to clean up the source files if you have to.
