Drum & Bass is a music genre born in the mid-90s in the UK. It’s characterized by heavy rolling basslines, and breakbeat drum patterns maintained mostly at 160-180 BPM. Despite great popularity in the UK and Central Europe, DnB is still an underground genre in most parts of the world, including the US. However, this does not change the fact that the number of Drum & Bass fans is constantly growing, and most popular representatives – such as Noisia, Dimension, SaSaSaS, Wilkinson, Andy C, Sub Focus, or Camo & Krooked – are highly recognized among electronic fans all over the world. Over the years DnB has evolved into many subgenres, such as Breakcore, Jump-up, Techstep, and more. No matter which one is your favorite and whose production you enjoy the most, in the list below you will find the best Drum & Bass sample packs to create great-sounding productions representing literally every existing DnB subgenre.
