Jungle music may have originated in the UK, but their sounds originated from Reggae and a lot from Bass & Drum music. It is almost like if you sped up a Reggae song and replaced the drums with 808’s and digital snares. Jungle samples can be anything from drum sounds to bass, sub bass, 808’s, snares, and much more. All of these sample packs have great sounds that you will be able to easily make a Jungle track, or any related tracks.
What To Look For When Choosing a Jungle Sample
When we made our list we listened through countless demos and samples to find the sounds we were looking for. We found lots of low end and fast paced music for you all to enjoy in these Jungle Samples.
Pricing
The pricing of a Jungle sample would be no different than any other type. You have the great option to individually obtain samples through Splice and Loopcloud, but also can just purchase the entire package. THe subscription methods of those 2 sites makes getting a hold of samples easy.
Frequency of Use
Jungle samples have a unique but easy to work with sound. You hear these sounds in other genres of Electronic Music and can make mashups with them without much difficulty.
Skill Level
Jungle beats can take more experience and skill than other genres, only because of how fast and intricate the beats can be. That being said if you are handy with writing a beat slowly, then speeding up the tempo you could easily get results that way. You just have to get the syncopation down.

One Big Family
Many of the sample packs we look at are related in their roots. Multiple sample styles have been related back to Reggae in one form or another, and all have stemmed from electronic music styles such as Techno, Electronica, and many more. The collaborative ability between all of these genres is insane and the limit to what you can create is only your imagination.
