Sounds like a 909 snare with a clave (or fingersnap) mixed in ...

Yes, it does have a fingersnap quality to it.

I sampled myself bashing my hand against some hard plastic... now my hand hurts... and I don't feel any closer to making the sound...

I mixed a 1% snap with a clav and a conga

and it's still not quite right

but i tried that

FAIL!

See, that’s where you went wrong- you’re supposed to bash your HEAD against some hard plastic.

Oh, and there isn't any snapping in the instrument. i tried it and you just end up hearing a weird snapping in the background

I don't hear the same sound in these tracks.

Do you mean these?

That's it! That's the f**king sound!!!!!!

Now how do I download that? And what the heck is that? And how'd you do that?

Sounds like a wood block and then claves through a reverb.

But what I’ve actually learned from this conversation is the importance of bringing sexy back!

All has been said, already. The first sound is a bog-standard 808 conga, and the second one is a clave. I don't know where that particular clave comes from, but FL Studio comes with quite a few similar ones.

I made that audio example by simply sampling the sounds from the songs. If you absolutely need to have the EXACT same ones, and don't fear getting sued for using them, I'd suggest you to do the same.

I figured out how to download what you posted. Awesome.

On the topic of getting sued, I hope one day I'm good enough to be sued! AWESOME!

In "SexyBack" and "Bad Romance," there's this high pitched drum. What is it?
