hi,

I'm searching for free 60s style retro drum samples (or a whole kit). Maybe a "overhead sampled" kit would also do the job.
Does anyone know a site with such samples, or maybe tips to get a good retro drum sound?

bye

Sample some drum loops off a 60's record, then slice it.
Or use Voxengo TapeBus on a normal Acoustic Drum Kit.

like what for example ?...The beatles kind or Jimihendrix/led zeppelin kind ?

have you tried using nskit and such and just compressing the heck out of it plus some spring reverb ?

thanks for the tips so far...

I don't really know what kind of sound. It just should sound oldschool

. For example, I like it when the toms sound very muffled and short, whith nearly no tone (In such a mix the toms and the snare sound virtually equal). The snare sound should then be also short and snary.
