Re: Electronic Drums
Your description sound like it's Synthwave he's talking about - for typical Synthwave it's Linndrum, Yamaha RX5, Roland 606 etc etc samples you'll need - Hydrogen has some decent kits for that.

Drum samples:
* Boss DR-550 Mk1
* Linn Drum LM1
* Linn Drum LM2
* Roland TR-707
* Roland TR-808
Plugins:
* TAL Reverb 3. It sounds amazing on 80s claps! There is a Linux version of that floating around somewhere as they open sourced some of their plugins a while back.
* u-he Diva which emulates various analogue synths. It also has a Linux version.
* ToneBoosters Reelbus which is a tape machine emulator - good for putting on the mixbus. Although there's no Linux version but I'm sure there are alternatives.
Thanks @Death and @eufex for the helpful suggestions! This is all new to me and it is good to have some pointers. Samples from Mars have a sale on all their drum samples, and I've been considering it. It doesn't have the Yamaha RX5 (it seems) but it has all the other (it also seems).
Thanks again!

Re: Electronic Drums
I got a bunch of my samples from this site years back. I remember some of them had some recording issues though with pops/clicks which doubled up with the transient on some kicks/snares & ruined the samples a bit so I had to look elsewhere to replace them. Most of the samples were great though and they might've even fixed that by now. I'm gonna have a look and see what's new. Thanks for reminding me about it
