Top 13 Best UK & NY Drill Sample Packs 2023 (Best Sounding)
1. 2DEEP NY Drill
More Info, Audio Previews & Price

Within this pack, you have everything you need to create NY Drill-style tracks for the likes of Pop Smoke, Fivio Foreign, and so on. Inside contains Melody loops labelled in Key and BPM, Drum Loops labelled in BPM, Drum one shoots and some FX one-shots.
Key features:
- 5 Demo Beats
You will find five different pre-made beats in this sample pack. You can access each stem of these beats to use them for many different purposes. For example, if you are new to producing Drill beats, you might want to learn how the track has been made; if so, then you can listen to each separate layer, such as the pads, chords, counter melody, kick, bass, hi-hats and so on in isolation and then all together to see how the sounds work together and apart.
- Drum/Percussion Stems
Within each construction kit (Demo Beat), you get access to all the percussive elements. So, for example, if you’re struggling to get that drill bounce in your hi-hats or counter snares, you can easily take the stems from the drum loops without taking the main snare, kick, and any other percussive elements. This is great for quickly adding that iconic drill bounce to your melody’s to get a feel for if they will work within the drill genre. All these stems are high quality and capture that drill vibe.
- Bass Stems
The construction kits (Demo Beats) all come with fully-fledged Drill 808 loops, most of which include those iconic drill slides. These items are great for use in your beats as they come labelled in Key and BPM. The labelling is very convenient as you don’t have to worry about out-of-key 808s. You can also use these stems to inspire and learn where to position 808 slides in your beats.
- Melody Stems
Within the NY Drill sample pack, you can access all the melody stems from the five demo beats. You can use the melody stems in your tracks, labelled in BPM and Key for your convenience, so when you manipulate them, you can make sure everything is on beat and in Key. All the melodies included are great for drill beats; they have everything from dark pads, keys, flutes, vocals, synths and everything else you’d need and expect from a drill sample pack.
- One-Shots
The NY Drill sample pack comes with a great number of one-shots. These one-shots are high quality and are perfect for drill beats; you have everything from 808s, kicks, snares, counter snares, hi-hats, perc’s, FX, and so much more.

Conclusion:
When it comes to the NY Drill sample pack you get everything you need to start creating drill beats. For drums, you have fully fledged loops to get going straight away, stems for adding specific elements and one-shots to create your drums.

- 15 Main Melody Loops
You will find 15 melody loops. All these loops then come with stems so that you can access each layer; there are 33 stems. All these melodies are made with Pianos, Flutes, Synths, Strings, and Drum Hits and include MIDI files. - One-Shots
You get 28 unique and fresh one-shots; none of these one-shots are the usual recycled ones you find in most free sample packs which are nice. However, all these samples are high quality, and you get 808s, Kicks, Snares, Hi-Hats, Claps, Counter snares and Percs.
Conclusion:
All the melodies in this pack are high quality and well made. They all work well within Drill Beats. The MIDI files from the stems are a nice touch, and the one-shots a high quality and perfect for drill beats.
