Best Dancehall Sample Packs for 2022

For dancehall style samples the Orchid Sample Collection is one of the best resources with a wide variety of different sounds and latin inspired loops.

Our sample makers  meticulously studied the production of the top dancehall songs of the past few years and used them as inspiration to create many of the drum loops and melodies in this pack.

There are tons of latin style percussion instruments, drum loops, melody loops and guitar loops to choose from. 

Orchid Specs:

Dancehall beats have utilized unique vocals in it's productions for a long time, some might say its one of the defining characteristics of dancehall and afrobeat styles.

Infinity is our largest vocal project of all time, and when creating this pack the island vibe ended up coming out of many of the vocal performances.

Dancehall drum loops with latin influence are often the defining characteristic of dancehall and reggaeton music. Having access to high quality recordings of latin percussion sounds is key to making authentic sounding dancehall riddims.

Inside, you’ll find 100+ stereo percussion one shots, from instruments such as bongos, gongs, djembes, jingle bells, and many more. All of the drum samples in this pack were recorded using the legendary Sony C800G Microphone and 2 Earthworks QC50 Microphones.

Using hi hat midi is a quick hack to get a beat started by giving you a rhythm to build on without being too distracting - so you can focus on creating chord progressions or melody lines.

Every hi hat loop also comes with corresponding MIDI patterns so you can edit and use your own sounds if you want.
