After searching the internet for free drum samples and not finding any I decided to create my own using my own drum kit. All the samples below were made using Pro-Mark drumsticks, my Yamaha Stage Custom Advantage Nouveau, Paiste cymbals, a Behringer C-1 condenser microphone, a Behringer Eurorack UB502 mixer, some leads, a Hewlett-Packard PC and Audacity. You can do whatever you like with the samples (WAV).
If you use the NES tracker FamiTracker, I have found the below modified samples of my bass and snare drum work quite well in the DPCM channel.
