Drum sample packs - there are so many out there, it reminds me of a Sticky Fingaz line from the underrated and slept on track Shut Em Down (remix) by Onyx:
With so many wack rappers out here I don’t no where to aim at!
With so many drum sample packs out there you might not even no where to start downloading.
But don’t worry, I created a list of ten banger drum sample packs that’ll fuel up your arsenal.

4. JUST BLAZE DRUM SAMPLE PACK FOR SERATO STUDIO
An exclusive to Serato Studio this kit includes 8 drum kits and 30 samples. The drums are amazing in this pack and have a wide range of styles all created by Just Blaze himself.

5. Vinyl Drums From Mars
Vinyl Drums from Mars went through an interesting process. The sounds are created from scratch, cut to vinyl and then sampled. A blend of modern production techniques while paying homage to vinyl sampling gives a unique set of drums.
6. Hats Off (Hi-Hat Loops & One Shots) by Illmind
When we think about drum sample packs we usually think about kicks, snares, one-shots, and riffs. And oh yeah some hats.
Too often we overlook hats and their importance. So this is pretty dope that Illmind created a whole kit dedicated to the hats. Hats do a lot to dictate the groove, feel, and bounce. Now here’s a whole drum sample pack dedicated to the hats.

7. Lo By Circle Drums
If you're looking for great sounding drums, check out Circle Drums. The Lo pack is a great one to start with. Though it leans a little more rock, a lot of the loops can be chopped and used for any other genre. Plus you get the individual sounds. Well worth checking out.
8. Dusty Crates Drum Sample Packs
Another Serato Studio pack, this one is packed with vintage drums and melodic loops to make lofi beats and boom bap beats. Made from a variety of producers including Decap, MSXII Sound Design, Goldbaby, and Komorebi Audio.
9. The Official 9th Wonder Drum Kit - 9th Wonder Treats
Now this list is in no particular order. So it only makes sense to put a 9th Wonder kit at number 9. An older one but 9th Wonder’s beats and drums are timeless. Best of all, this drum sample pack is free.
It’s a great sample pack to start with. 9th is an elite producer with range, a coveted snare sound, and responsible for some of the best hip hop tracks out there.
10. TRAP Chords + Melodies + Basslines

Everything you need to save hours of time making trap beats.
