could you not sample them off records/cds? then you might get a feel for the songs/genre your sampling from.

otherwise its just a copy of a copy of a copy..........

Yeah, just sample em off something. I'm 99% sure that's where the house tunes you are referring to grab them from. Also, don't chop the sh!t out of them. Chop a sample of drums that's say a 1/4 or 1/2 bar long, pitch it right and let it ride. It will give you some proper swing action.

it has some loops in it. its up to you to decide if their good for you or not.
all i can say is that the samples of the single hit are great. all real drum and percussions.

Just had a though. What about Stylus RMX?

Lots of real percussive stuff in that and a lot of scope to tweak it to get it totally your own.

not a very user friendly app. i use NI Battery 3 and it's library, coupled with an m-audio trigger finger drum pad controller.

find some filthy hippy with a drum and just record them playing along with your track. slice it up and keep the best bits. You can find some hippy by posting a note on a university message board, or approaching any bongo drummers you might find in parks, festivals etc. Most will be glad to help out.
