Drum sounds…we all need them. We can never seem to have enough, but we don’t like paying for them. At least not paying for the basics. Breakbeats and vintage drum machines. As a life long cheapskate, I’m familiar with getting what I need without having to break unnecessary bread. Whether you’re looking for a simple 808 to give your kicks some boom, or you want some great breaks to chop and get some ghost-notes, the links below can help you. Enjoy, and make sure you use them right.
I remember back when this site had THOUSANDS of drum breaks online, I used to rock these loops over Ahmad Jamal samples back in the late 90’s. There’s a great selection of classic drum breaks on this site in Wav files(some good quality, some bad). Everything from “Synthetic Substitution” to “Get out of My Life Woman”
2. The Samplist
Another great site to go to get your fill of classic breaks, but this site also gives you a bunch of 808 and 909 sounds. Great quality and great breaks to chop up and layer.
3. Cheebs Beats
Cheebs Beats is a blogspot blog that features A TON of downloadable files from vintage drum machines to new drum packs. Check it out, bookmark it, and keep it up to date
4. Hollow Sun
Hollow Sun is filled with vintage synth sample packs, plenty of which have interesting and very usable drums. This is one site you must check out if you’re big on manipulating sounds and building your own drums.
If you want that real 808 and 909 boom and clap, you need to check out this site. Sample packs for every individual instrument. Just want the 808 kicks without a bunch of useless congas? Download that. Really good stuff for you 808 fans out there.

Entertainment is a vast necessity of Life. Guys, wouldn’t be it so amazing to make your own music beats online? I think everything around us music. Like sound producing by blowing air, songs of birds, when we talk, aren’t they all are music. It’s music to speed you up and increase your self power. It’s great to share your own music creation to others. A caption for you: Music can. And you can create music easily if you got talent in music. You will need some simple instrument of music, a average computer with necessary music softwares. And these are very affordable. So, what are you waiting for, enter the world of music with hard rock entertainment. beat maker online
