Before the Internet where did cats get their drum kits from?

Always wondered this.

Today you got every drum sound available for download, but before this how could you build up a library? Cats were chopping the hell out records that much?

Yep, diggin and choppin. Adjusting the attack, sustain, delay and release, layering, adding eq, filtering and reverb. That's how cats created "signature" drums. These "kits" are often just samples, some not even clean like a dre snare that still has a millisecond of another sound / instrument ripped from still d.r.e or gin and juice.

Remember, back in cats didn't always have a drum set or afford a live drummer or studio time or even have music fundamentals so they sampled breaks.
