i'm looking for a really punchy kit, obviously similar to the prodigy's kits in songs like spitfire, breathe, their law, etc. i can't seem to find samples that hit hard enough without sounding like a slightly muffled fart. please help
I like their fucking drums too. Look at the ableton videos recreating firestarter, it's mainly breaks being parallel compressed.
Think prodigy use a lot of chopped up breaks with samples layered on top and obviously a lot of processing on top. I doubt the orginal samples used will sound like what you hear in the songs. If you're new to producing the only thing you can do is keep practising.
Interesting review of Firestarter by Liam http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/1996_articles/sep96/prodigy.html
