But to answer his question the Distance pack had some great unprocessed content for a genre specific pack.

Distance has a sample pack? Where????? Link please!

This is the one I was talking about http://www.futureloops.com/product-distancedrumkits.php
Not overly processed and plenty of nice one shots in different keys.

He also did a traditional genre specific dubstep pack for them with full construction kits and such, but I didn't get that one so dunno about the quality.

there's no such thing as a dubstep sample pack

Agreed. If you use samples that are geared towards the genre you're working in, then what are you bringing to he genre?

Drums are the only way you can make your track stand out from the crowd

all of your posts are utter bullshit tbh

Thanks dude. I'll check it out when I get home from school.


@joshisrad - ....what???

As other people have mentioned, any sample pack geared specifically toward a specific genre like dubstep is probably already starting with a foot in the grave and should be approached with caution. Way more interesting results going on your own venture and finding things in less obvious places.

I agree ^ and honestly I wasn't too big of a fan of the High Rankin one either

It's funny because a huge portion of crazy successful producers use Vengeance sample packs which are geared towards specific genres. Meanwhile the little leagues knocks on that practice, saying you can't contribute a damn thing of uniqueness to the genre if you use genre specific drum sounds. X motherfuckin D

But the vengeance packs were geared toward electrohouse and trance, yet drum n bass producers using them 6 or 7 years ago is what made the packs famous.

Anyway, I didn't mean drums. It's pretty hard for a drum to be for a specific genre, save for maybe gabba kicks I guess.

K cool. Must have misinterpreted you. Honestly tho, to thread creator, all you need is available to you on darkbeats sampleswap. The Akai samples from there are great, esp with layering. And the kicks.zip is LITERALLY made for layering I'm pretty sure. But if you know what you're doing, you can make your own pack that sounds damn close to vengeance ones if you just use the Akai samples from sampleswap + Absynth.

DISTANCE.

I like african drums, but mainly for percussion only

when producers are "crazy successful," Vengeance drums are never the reason why
afaik the use of specific sample packs is arbitrary and irrelevant to how unique or good the music is

You and I both know that is not what I meant. Overall, if you sound just like the rest of the genre, you aren't bringing anything of your own to the table...this applies to drums, leads, basslines, atmospherics, melodies etc...all of the above.

I disagree with the idea that using drums geared towards dubstep is bad. Really I disagree with the entire idea that using anything geared toward a specific genre is bad. I mean the entire idea of genres is that things are done the same way in most respects. I mean the basic components of most non-edm music is simply a drum set, electric/acoustic guitar and a bass guitar. Even though I've heard an electric guitar a million times it doesn't mean I'm not going to like it in the next song I hear.

Personally I hate the expectation that everything has to be different all the time. Just because I use a kick drum in one song then I can't use it in another song, or just because I used this synth sound in one song then it can never be used in another. I think if it fits, and it sounds good in what you are doing, then use it. As long as you aren't just remaking the same song over and over again then I don't see what the big deal is. I think this goes even more so for drums. I mean come on, a kick and snare is a kick and a snare. As long as it does it's job then it's right, at least to me.

Now, as far as sample packs, I don't personally own any dubstep specific packs. I do have packs that are sort of mixed and have multiple genre style sounds, but none that are just dubstep. When I put my money out for samples I like to be a bit diverse as my music tends to be all over the place. I never stick to making just 1 type of sound. I think the majority of my drum sounds actually come out of trip-hop samples I've accumulated, as well as some glitch samples. I also prefer not to layer the hell out of my kicks and snares, and when I do It's usually just 2 samples layered together. If I can get away with it though I'd rather just use 1. I will say this though, I use the same synth patches ALL the time in many songs and most people probably wouldn't even notice.

theres no point making a pack that sounds good because whatever sounds good on its own will be a different story in a mix.
lol i hate vengeance theyre overused and overrated, theyre just EQed slightly better than half the packs out there & it doesnt take long to get polished sounding drums when spending a couple minutes EQing.

He posts up free sample preview packs once in a while. AFAIK he's working with Industrial Strength making sample CDs now. Loopmasters sells them.
