I don't have anything like that myself (dentist drills), but if you are willing to pay, I always find sound effects stuff on www.sounddogs.com

Maybe a little expensive -- I'm not sure -- but the main thing is that I almost ALWAYS find what I'm looking for there. From cartoonish eating noises (for a video project), to natural ambient sounds (crickets for another video), to earthquakes (what does an earthquake sound like? a VOLCANO -- go figure)... They've got TONS of stuff.

Anyway, someone here may have a drill sample for free, but if you're in a hurry, you might consider checking them out.

Don't know if this will work for you but I remember reading this story in a guitar mag about about a band (Racers Edge I think might have been the name) - part of their stage show involved one of the guitarists using an electric drill with three plectrums mounted on the end of a rod inserted into the drill chuck. This allowed the person holding the drill to pick notes at furious speed but the pickups (single pole?) also picked up the noise from the drill motor and the writer said it sounded like a "dentist from hell"

Might be worth a try if you have an electric guitar and a drill around - you could just high pass filter the recording.

There's a patch for FL's 3xOsc called "dentist" on my page here:

Not sure which of the two 3xOsc banks it's in - I got them muddled up when I zipped them to upload, but it's definately in one of the two!

Do it yourself!

Get an $8 Moto-Tool-type unit from Harbor Freight and stick a mic near it while carving on something metal....

i don't know what they're called, but there's a type of whistle that's a short tube with a propellor in it that can sound just like a dentist's drill.

the whistle is usually used for the *whoop whoop whoop*, but can sound more like a dentist's drill with sustained notes.

just think, for about $3 you could get a real world effect that you can modulate in real time.

the only other place i know where you could get that sound is at the end of one of the song's on solex's "pick up" CD.

its pretty easy to make one from scratch. make a fast loop of a click or electronic hi-hat, then assign a wide pitch range to the pitch wheel. if you are using something like Kontakt, then you could also assign the loop or retriiger speed to the same wheel so it moves with the pitch. playing around with this kind of configuration has yielded results for me in the past, anyway.
