I've been pitching up my drum samples lately and I think the drums sound better for it. I use the exs 24 and have been raising the pitch by 1, 2 and 3 ( I think thats semi tones - anyone?) and the energy of the track increases. Is this a common practice amoung you guys?

Interesting point, I've noticed alot of the older D&B choons (Moving Shadow..etc) use pitched up HipHop drums, and to me they sound classic. But I love all that old stuff.

yup. breakbeat tip: sounds best when you sample breaks of vinyl at 45 rpm + 10 and then slow them down in your sampler.
