Our collection of free-use drum samples

This sample collection is for all users of Let's J.am (and whoever else finds this!). You can add your own, or download from our entire collection, for free! Many of the drum samples have been recorded by me personally and are in a mono, 24bit WAV format. They are absolutely free for all uses (including commercial) as long as you mention Let's J.am somewhere (anywhere!). The official license is called the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 United States License. Knock yourselves out!

About Our Official Drum Samples

Here's little bit about the official drum samples recording technique: I used a AKG C1000 (great mic) for 90% of the samples. This gives a consistent sound that you don't find anywhere else. Try mixing and matching a hundred different samples and you'll see what I mean. The samples are effectively normalized to the highest sample for that item, giving you a nice dynamic range that varies according the REAL strike force, not only perceived volume.

They are all 24bit quality, with natural room reverb and come with both the original, untouched dry recording and the wet, EQ'd version. This allows you to EQ it to taste, if you prefer to. However, feel free to use the generic EQ'd versions for quick or basic work.
