39 Best Free DnB Sample Packs 2026

Free Sample Packs › Best Free DnB Sample Packs 2026

Most "free DnB sample packs" articles are a list of links somebody copied from another list of links. Half of them point at Hypeddit gates for producers who deleted their SoundCloud in 2021. This one is different in one boring, important way: we opened every link before publishing, dropped the ones that had died since the 2025 edition, and replaced them with packs that are live today. Where a pack asks for an email address or a follow, we say so. Where a pack is built from old records and is not cleared for commercial release, we say that too.

The list runs in six sections. Our own packs come first because they are the ones we can vouch for file by file. After that: breaks and jungle packs from other producers, liquid, the heavier end, and two texture packs that are not strictly drum and bass but earn their place. Jump straight to a section if you know what you need.

• KAN classic break tribute packs (1 to 11)
• KAN subscriber packs (12 to 18)
• Breaks and jungle from other producers (19 to 26)
• Liquid drum and bass (27 to 30)
• Jump up, rollers and neurofunk (31 to 37)
• Textures and FX (38 and 39)

KAN Classic Break Tribute Packs

Since 2024 we have been working through the breaks that drum and bass was built on, one record at a time. Each pack follows the same recipe: the break digitised from an original pressing, cleaned in iZotope RX with a light hand, edits pitched to 174 BPM the old way by resampling rather than stretching, and fortified versions with modern kick and snare samples layered over the original hits. All files are 24-bit, 44.1 kHz WAV. The pitched edits are the ones to grab if you want the break on the grid in under a minute. The native cuts are for anyone who wants to do the pitching, or the chopping, themselves. Our guide to chopping classic breaks covers that workflow in every major DAW.

1. KAN Think Break Tribute Pack

Size: 31 samples, 50 MB. Styles: all, strongest in liquid and rollers.

Lyn Collins, 1972, Jabo Starks on drums, and the second most sampled piece of recorded music on earth. Five cuts from the original record, each in a 174 BPM edit, plus fortified versions. The native loop sits around 113 BPM, so the pitched edits land seven and a half semitones up, which is the squeaky 1993 jungle sound. The full story, and the pitch-or-stretch argument, is on the Think Break Tribute Pack page. Direct download: WeTransfer.

2. KAN Amen Break Tribute Pack

Size: 31 samples, 50 MB. Styles: all.

The Winstons, 1969, four bars of Gregory Coleman. The original break from vinyl at its native 136 BPM, four classic cuts, versions pitched to 174, and fortified edits for when the raw loop sits too soft under a reese. If you only download one pack from this list, it is this one, and the Amen Break Tribute Pack page tells the whole story from the B-side to the GoFundMe. Direct download: WeTransfer.

3. KAN Hot Pants Break Tribute Pack

Size: 34 samples, 39.4 MB. Styles: jungle, jump up.

Bobby Byrd, 1971, Jabo Starks again, and a break that technically does not exist on the original single. The loop everyone samples was cut in 1987 for a DJ edit. This pack has the break at its native tempo, two 174 BPM edits, fortified versions, and 16 shaker top loops cut to ride over it. Details on the Hot Pants Break Tribute Pack page.

4. KAN Sandman Break Tribute Pack

Size: 30 samples, 50 MB. Styles: all.

Crisp snares and a rolling, even groove that sits under almost anything, which is why it turns up in liquid and minimal as often as in jungle. The original from vinyl, two tonal variations pitched to 174 BPM, and fortified versions. One of the easiest breaks here to layer under programmed drums without a phase fight. Pack page: Sandman Break Tribute Pack.

5. KAN Sport Break Tribute Pack

Size: 26 samples, 50 MB. Styles: all.

From "Sport" by Lightnin' Rod with Kool & the Gang, 1973. Tight snares, a rolling pocket, and a hi-hat pattern that survives pitching better than most. The original from vinyl, two 174 BPM edits, and fortified versions processed in RX. Direct download: WeTransfer. Pack page: Sport Break Tribute Pack.

6. KAN Worm Break Tribute Pack

Size: 20 samples, 45 MB. Styles: all.

A break that has carried everything from light liquid to the heaviest jump up. The original from vinyl, a high-tone and a low-tone edit at 174 BPM, and fortified versions. The smallest of the tribute packs by file count and one of the most used in our own sessions. Direct download: WeTransfer. Pack page: Worm Break Tribute Pack.

7. KAN Flow Break Tribute Pack

Size: 21 samples, 36 MB. Styles: liquid, minimal, rollers.

The lesser-sampled one, and the one liquid producers thank us for. Crisp high end, tight snares, a shuffle with flavour and a tone that stays out of the way of pads and subs. The original from vinyl plus 20 processed versions at 174 BPM: low and high tone edits, light pitch variations, a few restructured, and fortified takes with layered drums. Direct download: WeTransfer. Pack page: Flow Break Tribute Pack.

8. KAN Apache Break Tribute Pack

Size: 56 samples, 43.1 MB. Styles: jungle, old-school, anything that wants chaos.

The Incredible Bongo Band, 1973, and the break breakdancers called the national anthem of hip-hop before Goldie, Remarc and Source Direct pitched it up and cut it to bits. The biggest tribute pack by file count: the original from vinyl and four distinct edits at 174 BPM, each in high and low tone variations, with fortified versions on top. It gallops rather than rolls, so use it where you want the drums to feel slightly out of control. Direct download: WeTransfer. Pack page: Apache Break Tribute Pack.

9. KAN Scorpio Break Tribute Pack

Size: 41 samples, 44.2 MB. Styles: jungle, jump up, old-school rollers.

Dennis Coffey, 1971. Snap, click and attitude, and a favourite of Zinc, Krust and Dillinja. It is often used as a layer to sharpen a softer break rather than on its own, and the high-tone edits here are cut with that in mind. The original from vinyl, low and high tone versions at 174 BPM, and fortified edits with layered drums and FX. Direct download: WeTransfer. Pack page: Scorpio Break Tribute Pack.

10. KAN Cold Sweat Break Tribute Pack

Size: 25 samples, 36 MB. Styles: liquid, minimal, jungle.

James Brown, 1967, Clyde Stubblefield at the kit. Shuffling hats, tight snares and a slinky feel that slides under pads without the brashness of an Amen or a Think. The original from vinyl plus 24 processed versions at 174 BPM, from clean to heavy to pitched, with plenty of fortified takes. Direct download: WeTransfer. Pack page: Cold Sweat Break Tribute Pack.

11. KAN Funky Drummer Break Tribute Pack

Size: 21 samples, 15.7 MB. Styles: all.

Stubblefield again, 1970, and the most famous drum performance in sampling history. People say it is overused. The right version is not. The original from vinyl plus 20 processed breaks at 174 BPM with tonal variations, subtle pitch tweaks and fortified edits carrying club weight. A small pack with a lot of ghost notes in it. Direct download: WeTransfer. Pack page: Funky Drummer Break Tribute Pack.

KAN Subscriber Packs

Seven packs that go out to the mailing list and never appeared in the store. They cover the things a breaks collection does not: bass, chords, one-shots, FX and full song starters. All seven, plus the eleven tribute packs above, come in the single 1.21 GB download when you subscribe.

12. KAN Jungle Inspirations Vol.1

Size: 34 samples and 12 MIDI files, 268 MB. Styles: jungle, atmospheric.

Six full song-starter loops, each a complete jungle idea with drums, bass, chords and FX, broken down into 28 layer loops you can mix across starters, plus the MIDI for every melodic part. The only pack on this list that hands you arrangement ideas rather than ingredients. Direct download: WeTransfer. Pack page: Jungle Inspirations Vol.1.

13. KAN DNB Break Inspirations Vol.1

Size: 30 drum loops. Styles: all.

Thirty loops across ten classic breaks, edited and processed for 174 BPM. This was the pack that started the tribute series, and it is still the fastest way to audition ten different breaks under a bassline in one session before you commit to chopping any of them.

14. KAN Classic Rave One Shots

Size: 100 one-shots. Styles: jungle, jump up, '90s rave.

Stabs, hoover-adjacent bass hits, pads and FX in the 1991 to 1994 idiom. One-shots rather than loops, so they drop into a sampler and get played as an instrument. Pair with any of the tribute breaks and you have a hardcore continuum starter kit.

15. KAN Liquid DNB Chords Vol.1

Size: 15 chord loops and 15 MIDI files. Styles: liquid, atmospheric.

Fifteen R&B-leaning chord progressions as audio, with the MIDI for each so you can swap the sound and keep the voicing. If you are new to writing chords, our guide to chord progressions for dark electronic music explains what these progressions are doing.

16. KAN Shelved Samples Bin 01

Size: 37 bass loops and 10 drum loops. Styles: dark, minimal, techstep, jump up.

Loops that were cut from paid packs for not fitting the brief, then reworked rather than binned. The bass loops lean dark and mid-heavy. A good resampling source: our guide to resampling in your DAW shows how to turn a loop like these into something nobody will recognise.

17. KAN Glitch FX Textures

Size: 130 one-shots and 20 loops at 174 BPM. Styles: all.

Glitch hits, stutters and granular textures, plus 20 tempo-synced loops for fills and transitions. The one-shots are short and dry, which makes them easy to place as a top layer at the end of a phrase.

18. KAN Dark Jump Up Bass Constructor Vol.1

Size: 30 bass loops, all in D minor. Styles: jump up.

Thirty loops split into call, response and texture groups, all in D minor so any call fits any response. Build a two-bar jump up bassline by dragging in one of each, then pitch the whole lot to your key.

Breaks and Jungle Packs From Other Producers

The two entries that led this section in 2025, Rewind Samples' Classic Breaks and the Reddit-hosted MusicRadar breaks pack, are gone. Rewind's Bandcamp and Gumroad pages both return nothing, and the Reddit rehost was never a source we were comfortable linking. The replacements below are better in both cases.

19. Blu Mar Ten - JungleJungle: 1989 to 1999

Size: very large, 600-plus samples. Styles: jungle, early drum and bass, usable everywhere.

Still the best free pack in the genre, by a distance. Blu Mar Ten have been releasing since 1995 and run their own label, and this is a decade of their working material: 224 breaks, 58 bass loops, 77 pads, 120 FX, 130 riffs, arps and hits, and 69 vocals. The breaks span 150 to 170 BPM because jungle did not settle on a tempo until late in the decade. One caveat the pack itself makes: some of this is built from old records, so clearance may be needed for certain parts in a commercial release. Get it from Blu Mar Ten's Bandcamp page.

20. SampleRadar - 207 Free '90s Jungle Samples

Size: 207 samples. Styles: jungle, old-school.

MusicRadar's SampleRadar series is the quiet giant of free samples, and this set is their jungle one: beats, basslines, one-shots, pads and string synths in WAV, all royalty-free and downloaded directly with no gate. It replaces the Reddit-hosted MusicRadar breaks pack from our 2025 list, which was an unofficial copy of a set MusicRadar had already taken down. Download from MusicRadar. Their full SampleRadar index has dozens more drum and breaks sets worth an afternoon.

21. Computer Music - Drum & Bass All-Stars VIP Series Sample Pack

Size: over 1 GB. Styles: all.

A 2014 magazine cover-mount that is still sitting on MusicRadar's server as a direct zip. Drum hits, loops, bass and FX contributed by a roster of working drum and bass producers for Computer Music's DnB special. It sounds like 2014, which for techstep and rollers is no bad thing, and at a gigabyte it is the largest single download on this list after Blu Mar Ten. Direct download: DnB All-Stars zip from MusicRadar.

22. Ed Solo - Classic Remastered Jungle Breaks

Size: medium. Styles: jungle, ragga jungle, drum and bass. Gate: Hypeddit follow.

Ed Solo engineered at SOUR in the mid nineties and has been running Jungle Cakes with Deekline for years, so when he remasters a set of classic breaks he knows what they are supposed to sound like at 170. Drum break loops, crash and fill breaks, top loops and a few synth tops, 160 to 175 BPM, 24-bit. The download goes through a Hypeddit follow gate from the SoundCloud page. Same caveat as every classic breaks pack: the source recordings are not cleared.

23. Gremino - Jungle Sample Pack Vol. 2

Size: 67 samples. Styles: jungle, atmospheric.

Basses, breaks, synth stabs, chord pads, Rhodes and vibes, and FX from a producer whose own jungle is on the deeper, more musical side. The pads and keys are the reason to grab it: there is not much free jungle material that covers the melodic end this well. Free download via the SoundCloud playlist.

24. Compound Audio - 101 Amen Breaks

Size: 101 loops, FX and fills. Styles: jungle, drum and bass. Gate: £0 checkout.

Dapz runs a mastering studio and cut these from his own vinyl copy of "Amen, Brother", so the processing is careful and the breaks are tuned to 172 BPM rather than 174, which suits jungle-tempo rollers. A hundred and one Amen variations is more than anyone needs, and that is the point: it is an Amen palette rather than an Amen loop. Add to basket at £0 on Compound Audio. Pairs well with our Amen pack above if you want the native cut too.

25. Ghost Syndicate - Breakform Free Jungle Breaks

Size: 55 breaks at 170 BPM. Styles: jungle. Gate: €0 checkout, link by email.

Fifty-five processed jungle breaks in 24-bit WAV from a label that mostly sells paid packs and gives away the odd full one. The processing is modern and tight, closer to a 2020s jungle revival record than a 1994 dubplate. Ghost Syndicate are unusually honest on the product page: this pack is made from pre-existing recordings and is not royalty-free or sample cleared, so treat it as a writing tool unless you clear it. Checkout at €0 on Ghost Syndicate.

26. Erb N Dub - Live Drums

Size: small. Styles: all.

Acoustic drum loops and fills recorded for drum and bass rather than sampled from records, which means no clearance question at all. Erb N Dub has given away a steady stream of packs for a decade, and this is the one that fills a gap: real kit, played at tempo, ready to layer under a break for human fills. From his site.

Free Liquid Drum and Bass Sample Packs

Liquid is where free packs most often disappoint, because melodic material dates fast and most producers keep their best chords for themselves. These four are the exceptions. Highpass's pack from the 2025 list has gone offline with his Buy Me a Coffee page, but the collection he curated for Different Drumz is bigger and still live.

27. Loop Cult - Arachne Free Liquid Drum & Bass Sample Pack

Size: 84 loops. Styles: liquid. Gate: €0 checkout, link by email.

Twenty drum loops, 15 bass loops and 49 synth loops, labelled by key and tempo around 172 to 174 BPM, 24-bit WAV. The synth loops are the asset: pads and keys that sit in a liquid mix without sounding like a preset demo. Hosted by Ghost Syndicate, with a €7 upgrade to the full version if you want the one-shots. Checkout at €0 on Ghost Syndicate.

28. Different Drumz - Liquid Artist Collection

Size: 12 artist packs, 593 MB. Styles: liquid.

Curated by Highpass, whose own pack we listed last year, and hosted by the Different Drumz radio station. Twelve producers each contributed a pack of their own loops and samples: Matt View, Bloque, Frameshift, United Souls, Criteria, Geety, AFEX, Jaym, Highpass, Conspiracy, Bruth and Subkey. The quality varies pack to pack, as any compilation does, but at nearly 600 MB there is more usable liquid material here than in any other single free download we know of. One zip, no gate, from the Different Drumz download page.

29. Ghosthack - Free Liquid Drum and Bass Samples

Size: 44 samples and loops. Styles: liquid. Gate: email address.

Ghosthack's free packs are clean, well labelled and a touch polite, which for liquid is exactly right. Forty-four samples and loops covering drums, bass and melodic parts. They ask for an email in exchange, and they will use it, so decide if that trade suits you. From Ghosthack.

30. Samplephonics - Autonomic DnB Freebie by tmsv

Size: small. Styles: autonomic, halftime, deep liquid. Gate: free Noiiz account.

The only pack here aimed at the autonomic end, the sparse, half-time, dBridge and Instra:mental lineage. Deep subs, soft drums and a lot of space. Samplephonics distribute their freebies through Noiiz, which needs a free account, and all of it is royalty-free. From the Samplephonics page. Their wider free jungle and DnB section is worth a scroll while you are there.

Free Jump Up, Rollers and Neurofunk Sample Packs

The heavier end is where the artist freebie thrives: small packs, a SoundCloud link, a follow gate. They go stale quickly, which is why nine of the demo players in our 2025 edition had died by this one. We have removed the dead embeds, switched the DNBSamples links to the collective's own domain, and added the artist series that have stayed online.

31. DNBSamples - Free DNB Packs No. 1 to No. 10

Size: ten mini packs, around 64 samples each. Styles: jump up, rollers, techstep, minimal, neuro.

A UK collective that commissioned ten artist packs between 2020 and 2023 and still hosts all of them. Each is a compact kit of bass loops, break loops, drum hits, FX, pads and risers in the artist's own style. The jump up ones (Bully & Corrupted Mind, B-Plexx, TO.DD, Skorpion) are the strongest; Lovell and Misshapen Mind cover the dark, minimal end. The links below go to DNBSamples' own redirects, which open the files on Google Drive.

1. No. 1 - Bully & Corrupted Mind (jump up)
2. No. 2 - X A E T I S (jump up, neuro)
3. No. 3 - B-Plexx (jump up)
4. No. 4 - Lovell (dark, minimal)
5. No. 5 - Dedman (dark rollers)
6. No. 6 - TO.DD (jump up)
7. No. 7 - Skorpion (jump up, neuro)
8. No. 8 - Sycopax (jump up, rollers)
9. No. 9 - Misshapen Mind (minimal, techstep)
10. No. 10 - Vast, formerly Lumia (techstep, darkstep)

32. R3dX & Bully - Jump Up vs Rollers

Size: mini. Styles: jump up, rollers. Gate: Hypeddit.

Two producers, two halves: bouncy jump up bass and drums on one side, rolling foghorns and tighter drums on the other. The basslines are the draw, loud and already saturated. Download via Hypeddit.

33. DNB Rollers - Rollers Essentials Vol.1

Size: 30 samples. Styles: rollers, jump up. Gate: ToneDen follow.

Five foghorns, five reeses, five kicks, five snares, two snaps, three perc loops and five FX. Tiny, but every one of the foghorns is usable as-is, and the demo track shows exactly how they want to be arranged. Download via ToneDen.

34. Ghosthack - Neurofunk Free Sample Pack

Size: 70 samples and loops at 172 BPM. Styles: neurofunk, techstep. Gate: email address.

Seventy royalty-free neuro samples: processed drums, bass loops, one-shots and FX. Cleanly designed rather than deeply characterful, which makes them good layering material under your own resampled bass. From Ghosthack, where the full free drum and bass list runs to seven packs.

35. Delta9 Recordings - D9FREE Sample Packs

Size: mini packs. Styles: minimal, dark, techstep, atmospheric. Gate: Hypeddit.

Delta9 attach a sample pack to their free releases, and the series has quietly become one of the best sources of deep, dark drum and bass material online. Invadhertz's Stuck in Hell pack is the one we return to: 13 drum loops, 9 bass loops, 19 drum one-shots, atmospheres and 9 Massive presets from a Rome duo with immaculate production standards. SL8R's Contra pack is the other to grab.

36. Boey Audio - Free Artist Sample Packs Vol. 1 to 7

Size: seven mini packs. Styles: rollers, liquid, jungle, techstep.

Seven artist packs in one SoundCloud playlist: Alex SLK & Thematic, Zenji, Phentix, DJ Hybrid, Alex SLK again, Medika and nCamargo. The spread is wide, from Hybrid's jungle to nCamargo's deep liquid, so download the lot and keep the two that match your sound. Free downloads from the Boey Audio playlist.

37. Kulture - Free DNB Beta Pack

Size: 134 files. Styles: rollers, jump up, dancefloor. Gate: $0 checkout, link by email.

A taster from a store that sells artist-made drum and bass packs: 134 WAV files and presets across drums, bass and synths, aimed at the modern dancefloor sound. Royalty-free, with the usual rule that you cannot redistribute the files themselves. Checkout at $0 on Kulture.

Textures and FX

38. DustyRoom - Static Kit

Size: 46 samples, 48 kHz 24-bit. Styles: all.

Vinyl crackle, tape hiss, machinery hum and other noise floors, built with an Access Virus TI, a Moog Sub Phatty, an Elektron Digitone, VCV Rack and Reaktor rather than lifted from a lo-fi plugin. Every file loops cleanly. Not drum and bass, but a crackle layer at -30 dB under a liquid intro does more than another pad. Direct download from DustyRoom.

39. HydraTek - O K K U L T: Distorted Basses & Sequences

Size: 50 loops, 27 basses and 23 sequences. Styles: neurofunk, dark, hardcore. Gate: €0 checkout.

Fifty heavily distorted bass loops and sequences made by mangling patches from the OBLIVIUM bank for the Kult synth, labelled by BPM and key. Not subtle. Good for the moment a neuro drop needs something screaming across the top of a clean sub. Checkout at €0 on Hydra-Sound.

Free Packs or Paid Packs: What You Actually Trade

We sell sample packs, so read this with that in mind. The honest version is that free packs are excellent for breaks, textures and trying a style on, and weaker for the things that take a producer weeks to make: tuned, layered bass, mix-ready drum kits with consistent level, and melodic material in a usable range of keys. Here is the trade as we see it.

The last point matters more than it looks. A free Amen is a free Amen for ten thousand other producers too. What separates your version is what you do to it afterwards, and our guide on how to use sample packs without sounding like the demo is about exactly that.

Questions Producers Ask About Free DnB Sample Packs

If a link above dies, tell us in the comments and we will replace it. We re-check this list each autumn, and the 2025 edition lost three packs and nine demo players in twelve months, so it will happen again.
