Im mainly making house with the good old roland tr samples. Aiming for an old school sound. But I´m thinking to try a more polished or updated sound. What are the killer sample collections out there?

I might add that I´m more into the deep/underground sound of house.

the d16 group has incredibly great 909, 808 and 606 emulations...

oh yeah...forgot lives drum machine collections are good as well for what you might want

look no further than goldbaby. excellent classic drum machine samples.

Try the deadmau5 Xfer sample pack or the Thomas Penton drums for a more polished / updated sound

Yes, I have all the Roland sounds I need.

Im not so good at explaining so here´s a couple of tracks which shows some of the drum sounds I´m after.
I guess I´m looking for a more organic sound. Something like this:

Omar - Feeling You (Henrik Schwarz Remix

Discreet Unit - Shake Your Body Down (Original Mix)

Goldbaby is very cool, I will look into those Thomas Penton drums, thanks

you would have fun with the stylus rmx

and have a look here:

+1 for Thomas Penton and Goldbaby, that's all you need.

gold baby is good but as you are happy with your old hits and want something more polished i would strongly advise vengeance.de as nearly all pro house/dance producers own them and use then alot. they're polished as fuck (too polished for some)

however if your into the deep stuff samplemagic.com are of good quality although a bit more loop based they still have lots of one shots.

Pick up Nerve from Xfer Records.

Freash sound and a fantastic work flow.

All the best,,

Slice to midi clip for the win

I really like the Deadmau5 Xfer pack too. It leans towards techno but there are a lot of good sounds in there, particularly the kicks. I also recommend Joey Youngman's Jacked Out Future House pack, if you're making funky house, since it's geared towards that specifically.

i have to agree with all the above but may i add that the majority of packs sold at http://www.soundstosample.com/ are of very good quality, look out for the Riemann Kollection

generate your own sounds.
use your imagination. compress, eq, saturate etc.

EXACTLY !!!

...and for basic, try d16 Drumazon and Nepheton !
They have the original 909/808 hardware feel and sound...!!!
