Hiya...

was just wondering if anyone could recommend to me any hi quality drum sample packages to use in my home studio? I'm runnin a mac g4 with protools, looking for something a bit vintage and organic sounding.

Hi johnny five,

Are you talking about plug-in modules that have samples included or are you talking about Loops?

HI,
I use BFD by FXPANSION, I think it is definitly the best, I have a g4 dual 800 with 1.5 gig ram.. and it works great... You won't get a more real sounding drum sampler. And it is awsome value for money.. $550 australian.. You will need another harddrive for the samples... But I have had a few very talented drummers in here and they can't beleive it is all sampled.. you can use preset midi grooves of which there are hundreds, or send it signals from v-drums.. anyway check out www.fxpansion.com JASON

Do you mean DVDs of loops?

Probably the best thing I can recommend is one that I bought from people called Drum Drops. They do a good line in getting big name drummers (like Keith Leblanc from the Sugarhill Gang, Style Scott from the Roots Radics) and recording them on vintage equipment through an analogue desk. There's some sweet sounds going on there, and a range of styles - rock, funk, reggae - and they do them in multitrack and sample formats. Far as I know, they work with pretty much all programs.

check them out and have a listen. www.drumdrops.com. Best package I've bought.

Good luck!
