There's currently a "Free idm/glitch drum samples" thread on electronic
music 411 with some links to glitchy percussion sounds:
http://www.em411.com/forum/4000/1//Free_idmglitch_drum_samples.html

Every time you mess up your Alsa Modular Synth/Ingen/Csound/SC/... synth
patches and your only getting some strange clicks or noises: Sample
those sounds, use some LADSPA effects to amplify, distort, filter, pitch
shift, etc. them and you got your very own glitchy samples.

Another approach is to paint some waves by yourself. I think you can do
that in Audacity with waveform max zoomed in and in the sample editors
of trackers like Fasttracker2 or Milkytracker
(http://www.milkytracker.net).

There's also the BBCut2 library for Supercollider
(http://www.cus.cam.ac.uk/~nc272/bbcut2.html) and the bbcutm/bbcuts
opcodes for Csound (http://www.csounds.com/manual/html/bbcuts.html).
