If you just use a nice sample bank of drums like Thomas Penton Essential Drums and Percussion, this will give you alot of quality samples to work with. If your looking for industrial type drums, just distort the hell out of the samples, or layer them with bits of noise etc, or layer 5 drums together and experiment with FX on them. Bounce them to audio and use them in your drum sampler...

Thanks for your replies!
But I have to add that in particular I'm looking for those plastic, synthy kind of percussion sounds.
Any sample libraries containing those?

To purchase, Synthetic Drums by Native Instruments or The Konkrete collections by soniccouture maybe, tho they maybe a little more leftfield.djones wrote:Thanks for your replies!

Making techno is sound research, you can do techno also with ambient recordings manipulated then with fx...here isn't a specified library IMO.
Too much times i read thread like "what vsti for techno" (or hip-hop etc...), "waht samples for...."...
On which basis we can say "this is good for doing..bla bla"??
We can advice some kind of sound (vsti) usually used in techno production like 909, 303....
..but at the end, at least in my point of view, it's a personal research of the sound, that it's obtained not from a specific synth, or sample made specifically for the techno, but from a continuos testing, layering, fx adding, manipulating and all the other possibilities that a machine, software or hardware that is, can offer.
I hate to advice all the "ultimate trance/techno/house" libraries because if you're doing techno, and you trust in your music/creations, you must create your own sample library maintaning innovation and personal style.
The libraries, often, are collections of trend sounds that aren't a good start point to make some personal creations, at least if you don't have in mind to manipulate them, to add your personal imprint.
About the minimal techno drums i can advice to use synths to obtain some sounds that can be heared in the current minimal, because a lot of drums are simply synth fx sounds occasionally manipulated with additional fx processors.

I think some very good points made there, pretty much any synth can do percussion too. My personal choice is to take samples, or found sounds and load them into Kontakt and manipulate away. Found sounds can be great sources of the clicks and ticks of this kind of stuff.raikard233 wrote:Making techno is sound research, you can do techno also with ambient recordings manipulated then with fx...here isn't a specified library IMO.
