   Samples
  ~~~~~~~~~
Soundwave           - http://www.volftp.vol.it/soundwave/samples.html
   Only go to this site if you are prepared for some LARGE D/Ls.

Hyperreal           - http://www.hyperreal.com/
   Tons of samples, inc. the complete TR-808 and 909 sets.  There is another
site, the Drum Samples page, which is missing a lot of the 909 Snares, and
the 808 Hi-Conga file is corrupt.  I recommend Hyperreal.

SampleNet           - http://www.samplenet.co.uk/
FTP Server          - ftp.futurenet.co.uk/samplenet/
   The WWW site provides all the links to the files on the FTP site, plus
descriptions.  However, directly accessing the FTP site, whether through a
browser or an FTP program (make sure it allows D/L of multiple files and/or
directories), is far faster.
