And this is after i compress/ eq/ and add reverb to em. Granted all the drum hits i use are from freeware sample packs , since i just started producin from scratch like 5 months ago or so. also. my kicks are shit as well. same with my snares. i play around layering them (snares) but only very rarely do i get something that sounds good , and that is after layering and playing with it for hours it seems. Should i just be sampling snares directly from tunes? i have very little knowledge of how to sample anything. how would i go about sampling 1 snare hit of a individual tune. and if im sampling, do i need a much better soundcard for it to come out sounding exactly like i heard it. cuz once i tried resampling a bass patch i made but it sounded completely different on playback then it actualy did when i made it.
yea sorry to ramble off ona few different things there. jus tryin to learn and thers so much to learn and so little time if you know wwhat i mean. also, another thing im wondering about is a term i hear on this forums every now and then and still have no clue what it is. "bouncing" like "dude bounce your drums" wtf does that mean? thanks in advance for any help

oh and by the way the main question i want answered is : where do you get high quality drum samples/hits ?
