Top 12 Resources For Dope Free Hip Hop Samples

If you can’t get enough of free hip hop samples but are tired of cramming your hard drive with tons of crappy, amateurish sounds, then this post is for you. I have digged the web for hip hop samples that are both free AND of the highest quality, so you can create dope beats with bangin’ drums without stretching your budget.

Like always my focus was on quality over quantity, so while some drum kits contain hundreds of samples, others come with only a few hard hitting bombs. However…if you download all the drum kits mentioned in this post, you will probably have more than enough material to keep you inspired for the next weeks, or even months.

SuperHeroSamples

It might seem a bit self serving to put my own free drum kit on top of the list…and well… it is;-) I’m proud as hell of it and I would love to see you dowload your copy and create some real bangers with it.

To create ‘Ill-Behaved Drummz!’ I have recorded real drums and percussions with high end mics by Neumann, Coles and Josephson paired with high end pre amps such as a Forsell SMP-2 and the pres from my german vintage ABE broadcast console.

I then layered these drums with samples from various vintage drum machines … and then shaped and processed them in the digital domain until they were as hard hitting and co(jo)ne shaking as I love them to be:-)

I’m sure you’ll love them as much as I do…so don’t hesitate…

Producers Choice

The guys at the Producers Choice have a reputation of offering some of the best hip hop sample kits in the industry. Their ‘808 Warfare’ kit has create a huge buzz in the producers community in the past 12 months. And their ‘Everything Bundle’ is one of the most insane sample pack bundle offers I’ve come across so far.  (If you can grab it at a discount, go for it.)

The Producers Choice also offer a free hip hop drum kit you should’t miss out on.

In the hip hop samples game since 2004, KicksAndSnares have created quite a buzz with their drum kits – read the testimonials, and you’ll know what I mean.

When you go to the Samplephonics website, you will find that they have a free teaser sample pack for each product they release. And they release looots of sample packs.

Sonic Specialists claim to deliver the “best drums in the industry”. Mhhh…I have a feeling I have heard that claim before…

However, their free ‘Business Drum Kit’ contains some clean and crisp drums and percussions and is a worthy addition to any drum library.
