Yeah, I'm looking for samples or loops that sound like these guys, I know they're grabbing them from records but I'm hoping someone's done that for me and put them in a sample pack or made something very similar

Any ideas? I tried searching for leftfield, breakbeat etc but couldn't find anything that sounded quite right.

Cheers!

Shameless self-promo, but those two drumsamples packs might get you in the vintage-sounding ballpark of abstract hip-hop experimentalists and Ninja Tune/Lex artists :

get free demo samples here : http://waveshaper.org

... and I am convinced that other forum users will also lead you to other great suggestions

Thanks, sinkmusic! Those are nice sounds, and I may well use them for another project.

However, I wouldn't really say they are what I need here - mainly because they sound artificial, or synthesised. I think part of what makes Shadow's and RJD2's drums so awesome is that they're real acoustic samples, that sound dirtier.

Any other suggestions?

EDIT: Actually, some of them are acoustic, aren't they? Maybe I need acoustic loops that I can chop up... hmm.

Yes, all of them are acoustic.
It is not "dry", as it got processed further using either a 12bit sampler (for the "12bit drummer" pack, or analog gear (for the "vintage drums" pack), but the source is always acoustic drums.

I could put something together for you for a reasonable fee. I have a couple drum sample vsts and outboard gear I could run them through for grit. PM if you're interested

Look for Brian Bennett, Alan Tew, Bob James, Keith Mansfield.

This shit is awesome funk, look on YouTube and you'll get loads of similar recommendations.

If you liked Star Wars and other Galactic funk youll love all this

Drum samples in the style of DJ Shadow or RJD2
