Hi guys. I'm new here. this site is pretty nice! I have been looking for a hip hop bass drum sample. You know, like the bass drum that is the star in so many hip hop and R and B songs. I would appreciate it, if someone knew where a good sample was, or has one, to tell me about it. Thanks.

You mean that impossibly fat Boooooooom? It's a sample from the TR-808.

Best 808 pack you'll find.

No need to look that far.

Just pitch down and you got yourself a decent dirty south hiphop kick.

Thanks for replying so quickly! Ya'll are so helpful!

That's why we're here for.

LOl. Hey. I did find some awesome samples in that pack, but if you've heard "This Is Why I'm Hot rap song, it has a big boom bass drum in it. I was wondering where I could get a hold of those kinds of drum sounds?

I'm 100% positive it's from the 808, except it's tweaked a little bit (EQ) and the song is mastered.

EDIT: Check the bassdrum samples BD1010 thru BD2510. That's what you're looking for. Of course you're gonna have to tune the pitch to make a bassline.
