youll probably have to dig through alot and put together your own kits..
ive never found a package ive been happy with, but ive moddified/pasted together kits that i use

the problem with these questions is THERE IS NO BEST- there is only what is best for you. period.

i got a lot of the dr dre and neptunes drums from modernbeats and they're ok, it all goes with ur prefernce

It fully depends on the feel of the song. Just dig old records (this is my answer to everything).

Any drum can sound good if you know how to beef it up.. I usally use live drums.. But that depends on the track I'm making.. Break beat drums are good if you lean the art of jackin em off of records. No looping just breaking the drums down... Then save em as your own little kit...

Word up!...I dont think ive ever been able to jus load a kit and go!?...That jus never happens unfortunatly. Not unless i suppose you either REALLY LUCK OUT!...or you jus makin a quick ass beat.

Heres what i suggest:

If your looking for kits to get you started that sound like a specific artists sounds then "bangin beats" tends to follow that tradition of selling kits that are put together to sound like that. (for me, i like variety tho - so i like to mix and match-jus do it carefully...some sounds jus dont belong together)

Also, if yer ever inclined to put in a little work - i would try sampling vinyl. Vinyls great for hiphop cuz it tends to retain a really nice lower end in tha kicks and snares. To me thats tha goldmine sounds.

THERE IS NO BEST you make it sound the best

 

[MaZaMuNe]

ok thanx..

I say it depends on the beat. I wouldnt use the same drum for a club banger than for a ballad... even if you can if you want to... but i wouldnt

 

[spin]

i always also like to eq my drums and put some effect on the top like compressor reverd etc...

 

[jnxe]

imo every hiphop drum sample cd i heard sounds weak, the release on the sounds are to short and they have little impact, plus they sound very digital. i would much rather have a collection of my own vinyl samples.

fruity loops has alot of good preset drums...

the best way to get a good drum kit is to put it together each sound idividually because on kits u might like some and might not like some of the sounds so build ur own man ..thats all i can say

 

[MaZaMuNe]

i just recently bought abunch of soundfonts and kits so that should last me for awhile

[MaZaMuNe]

exactly what ive been doing to the kits that i bought

 

[Phiba Optix]

IMO Modern Beats are the whackest kits ever, I got all of them and I never use them. The bangin beats ones are not bad and as for the actual artist kits that people make up i.e. Lil Jon, I'd definately stay away from them.

My best kits are all made up of kits that I've managed to download from various places and put together myself. You jus gotta keep your eyes peeled.

But at the end of the day, its down to the actual sound your after yourself. If you wanna get that real commercial sound then modern beats may work for you...

 

[Carpe Diem]

all bout sampling your drums man....get sum nice samples from old soul ish, freak em a bit and pow....

but yeah, download sum kits and freak em...aint no drums sound good on their own...they all need a slight tweaking...
