The Drum Broker has been the hip hop samples library producers and beatmakers trust since 2011. When The Alchemist, Cookin Soul, Apollo Brown, 9th Wonder, or Beat Butcha release a sample pack, they release it here. The partnership with Frank Dukes that became The Kingsway Music Library created the first original sample library built specifically for producers to chop and flip. We don't auto-upload sounds or run a subscription pool. Every pack is hand-picked, so instead of scrolling ten thousand near-identical files, you're reaching for sounds vetted by the people who make them.
Sampling is the foundation hip hop was built on, from the first DJs looping breakbeats off funk and soul records to the chopped-and-flipped style that defined Premier, Dilla, and Madlib. This collection is a deep cross-section of that tradition: hip hop sample packs, drum kits, drum breaks, loops, and one-shots for boom bap, lo-fi, and classic hip hop. Dusty breaks and gritty one-shots, warm and textured loops, soulful chops, vintage keys, and rare percussion, all built to be flipped, chopped, and layered the way the genre is made.
Whether you're after a single boom bap drum kit, a soulful loop pack to chop, or rare percussion to finish a beat, the catalog is organized so you spend less time digging and more time making. Files are delivered as 16 and 24-bit WAV, work with everything from hardware samplers to FL Studio, Ableton, Logic, and Maschine, and download instantly at checkout. Whether you're building a sound from scratch or expanding a library you've trusted for years, start your dig with The Drum Broker.
