Okay guys, so... DnB, is an awesome genre. And as such, with awesome genres there aren't really any specific rules or tools you honestly need, as like; must-have-or-it-won't-work-period kind of things, I mean... I've seen people get Liquid sounds out of NI: Massive, FM8, and get awesome sounds out of z3ta/z3ta+/z3ta+ 2, and people who just load a sample into 3xosc and rock some shit; it all depends on what you like to use, and how you use it.
Now, as far as samples go, I'd recommend Vengeance House V 1 & 2; these come with some awesome "Cutted Sounds" that are just sounds sliced right out of music, and they all sound great; you could easily throw one of those into 3xosc and be bangin' for like, weeks playing with just that.
Now for DRUMS. Frankly, when I do DnB, I use this; 2 Kicks, 1 Snare, 1 Tom, 1 Hat. Now, bear in mind that I might layer a clap and a snare, or two snares; but they always trigger at the same time so it's basically just one snare. However, the 2 kicks is because one is with the DnB beat, and the other, is in a regular house pattern;
Kick-Kick-Kick-Kick
----Snare----Snare
Y'know; the plain-Jane Kick Snare Kick Snare 4x4 you see in like, hip-hop. Oonts, kats, oonts, kats. Y'know what I mean?
My drum samples library is fucking huge;
Vengeance House 1
Vengeance House 2
Vengeance Club 1
Vengeance Club 3
Aaall the FL defaults (which I use very, very, very sparingly; if at all)
Some crap from drumsamples.org
Some Rock pack (with awesome Tom's) from Google
And this production collection Deadmau5 and his manager released in like 2009
That's like... 4~ gigs of drums/misc samples, and I'm pretty sure I'm still going to get my hands on more.
I have some triangles if'n you need 'em, fellas...
SO YEAH. Stuff.
