Cobra is one of our most popular free packs, and for good reason. Cobra is an all encompassing hip hop style sample pack, including some more modern drums and samples, it also contains more classic style drum loops reminiscent of the boom bap drum sound.The guitar and flute recordings are also perfect for chopping and sampling with some boom bap drums.
What They're Good For: This pack has a ton of great drum samples, but I was most surprised by their quality bank of 808 and 909 sounds. Dance music producers can never have a big enough bank of these iconic drum machine hits, and this free pack of drums is a great starter kit for new producers and an even better addition to seasoned producers' libraries.

When you use free samples and loops, as well as if you have a large sample library, there are numerous advantages. The most crucial factor is creativity, and the more drum samples and (in general) sample packs you have, the better your productions will be.
