Search
Plenty of info on every kit dknown to mankind.

I use them to layer with. There decent but I like Maschines library of samples more and for an extra hundred you could have hardware as well.

How would you know those sound better? Surely you didnt pay the $200 which you feel is too much.... And since they dont do refunds, or license transfers... you couldn't have bought them and returned, or bought them from someone else on the cheap....

Im just saying....lol

weird way of thinking...how do I evaluate what your opinion is worth if I don't know how you arrived at it?!

I've been doing a ton of research on drum samples, and I think I've narrowed my search down to the Urban Fire series.

Would love to get some input, and even hear some samples of where you used them... Just want to further look into this before I drop $200 on some sounds.

Thanks for your help!

I have three kits from them, the anthology 1 & 2 as well as Urban Fire 5.

The best thing about the drums is that they sound very CLEAN.

The bad thing about the drums is that they sound VERY CLEAN.

Honestly. Unless you are lacking in samples, then buy the Urban Series bundles. If not, buy anthology first and then see if you like it.

The only problem I have is that sometimes you are looking for that real gritty sound and uncontrolled drum sound. For example, I have the OFFICIAL Boi-1da kick, and the drums are ridiculous, they even have clipping on them, but the knock hard and are very 'emotional' drums. I find myself going to these samples a lot rather than the Urban series.

DO not get me wrong, I do NOT regret buying ANY of the Urban Series since they sound very professional, I just feel like the Urban series seems to be geared toward electro/house/trance/pop genres rather than hip hop. Once again, it is MY PREFERENCE, definitely try it yourself. Whether you like it or not, you still have very professional drums at your disposable. Some people love using clean drums from the start, while others like to use shit. There is nothing wrong with shit as well as clean.

i have told u in simple terms that i have gone thru the sounds of the urban fire series and found them to be not as dope sounding as the links i posted.

Totally depends on the drum sound you want. For a certain style, UF drums are excellent. They are very quality sounds indeed.

We could help you more if you'd tell us what drum sound are you aiming for.

I bought those a few years back, thought they would solve all my drum problems. They didn't. Don't like them more than any other drum library. The snares almost pierce a hole in my ear drum, loooads of 10 k, brrrrr .....
I do use the kick drum layering tools sometimes, but you could easily make your own (pitch up a kick and compress to let the snap through, for instance).

I agree with most of the opinion here. To me, the Sonic Specialist sound is clean and tight. Now don't get me wrong- a lot of the sounds are HUGE frequency-wise, but they tend to be sort of "tame in some strange way to me.

Basically, I just think they are less versatile than advertised. For straight up modern beat making hip hop with a dancy edge, they are sweet. If your music sounds like the audio demos on their site- you are gonna be lovin 'em.

Great sounds, but priced way to high for a sample set that doesn't cover way more bases. They are a bit specialized, and NOT what I would recommend as a bread and butter "first drum sample pack".
