Stumbled on a dope collection of nicely recorded drums. All of these drums are recorded on to a tape and then processed through all kinds of vintage synth machines to give them a really heavy sound. Listen to the sample and you can hear how warm and thick these sounds are. Way better than what you’ll find on your favorite D4L track.
Just listen to their write up:
Not another 808 sample! Well actually it isn’t… this is 407 samples taken from two 808’s recorded into an Ampex 351 1/2” valve 2 track tape machine! That’s not all… We also put the 808’s through other vintage gear. Plus we recorded the 808’s naked into a Metric Halo ULN-2 firewire audio card. Then we chose the best samples.
All 24 bit, and all phat analog goodness!
If you can’t get a hold of a real 808 then this is as close as you can get in samples… Maybe even better than the having the real thing!

(The Free version of Cassette 808s is all the way at the bottom right, but the full version looks like its worth the $ too).
If I ever do an Algorythm Booty Bass Mix, I’m hitting these drums up HARD.

Dope where’d you find this I’m usin 808’s kinda heavy these days. Was thinkin about buyin a 808.
I basically stumbled on these randomly the other day. I’m all for buying the hardware man. The thing about these though, is that they’re reprocessed like 5 times through all kinds of machines and it makes a noticeable difference.
808’s are dope
