Drum samples and breaks
Kits, one-shots and breaks. Where a pack says its tempo or how it was recorded, that is printed; where it does not, nothing is claimed for it.

Questions people ask
Are these really free?
6 of the 11 on this page cost nothing at the time we checked. Free here means a price of zero on the maker's own page, not a trial and not a cut-down edition. Some makers ask for an email address before the download; their page says so, and we do not.
What formats are these in?
Of the 11 listed: WAV (5), VST3 (2), AU (2), MIDI (1). Where a maker does not state a format we leave it blank rather than guess, so an entry with nothing listed is one whose page did not say.
Do any of these need something I might not have?
Some do: Ableton Live 11, Ableton Live 12, Max for Live. That requirement is printed on the entry itself, because it is the part people find out after downloading. Where a maker ships a wrapper for one host beside a plugin that runs anywhere, the requirement belongs to the version being sold, not to both.
How were these picked?
They came through the same filter as everything we post: a maker's own page, read and stored, with every number checked against it. 4 of the 11 here carry buyer ratings, which are printed. We do not rank things we have not measured, and nothing on this page claims a listening test we did not do.
