Hello guys, my name is Harris I need some help, I've created my own sample kit but I need help searching for the sound of the hi hat and snare;

If anyone can let me know what drum machine/sound module the snare and hi hat are from that will be great
Thanks

Dude, first we need to work on terminology!

I don't hear a snare in either song, i hear a side stick (see video below).

Neither the side stick or hihat sound like Grammy winning sound design, you should be able to find satisfactory samples very easily. The key will be to EQ them (most likely cut some lows) so they sit nicely in the mix.

I think these sounds will best be found as samples, not "synthesized" drums like you might find in an old school drum machine.

I´d look in the ROMs of late 80s workstations and keyboards first.

Hey, thanks for the replies guys, I've been doing some researches for these sampled sounds I just want to know what drum machines or keyboards these sounds are from. From what I've listened it sounded like Roland or Alesis i'm not sure so I need help.

I have another reference track;

The sampled sound might be from Roland or Korg what do you think?

What sampled sound? If it's the "snare" in that track, as mentioned above its a side stick or rim. I honestly doubt anyone could identify what specific synth/keyboard it's from, or even if it is from a synth/keyboard. It sounds like an acoustic drum kit.

That said, good drum samples can be found in the Thomas Penton series volume 1 where there is a quite pointlessly large collection of different rimshots and sidestick samples.

I guess you are right about the rim snare sound I'll take a look on the Thomas Penton however i know the toms were sampled from the sound canvas or SC88 sound module.
