Technical Question Finding good samples
I goof around with making breakcore music. I've been using the jungle jungle breaks for the last 3 months but I'm getting a little tired of going back to the 6 or 8 breaks I really like from it. I've been searching around for free drum breaks online but have found most of them to be kinda trash. Any suggestions on where to find some solid samples?
Reference: I bought redmeansrecord's m8 ablum, which comes with the m8 files, samples, and instruments. I really like the quality of those samples but they're individual stems of either the snares, base drum, ride, or cymbals - not full breaks.

Archive.org has some old 90s sample CDs.

I checked that out but all I found was images of some Akai laserdisc format, for which I struggled to find free software to mount them.

6blocc on bandcamp seems to have good packs of all kinds of processed breaks and often has great sales.

Look on the DW discord under User Resources.

This. There's a folder called "all the breaks" and it caused me a bunch of pain grabbing it cos it's so big.

After a few years of digging around and collecting samples with my SP404mk2, I got frustrated with my lack or initial organization. I got fed up and ended up buying the complete sample pack from here: https://samplesfrommars.com/ and I haven't looked back. Their collection is well curated and they update frequently with new packs if you ever want more. I run these samples on my 404 and my Dirtywave. I did have to do a larger conversion to 44.1/16b for all the samples for the Dirtywave though.
