On a coverdisk off a magazine (Digital Music Maker # 8) is a bunch of royalty-free drum samples. I am currently constructing a kit, using them all (about 170 samples), and it's huge - 86mb. Obviously, I won't be submitting it to the db library! I will however use it, as is, until I'm really familiar with it and then discard the samples I never use (I still have the CD, after all.) My question is: what is a sensible number of variants? This set has e.g. ten different woodblock hits and 31 different kicks! I'm thinking three velocities per instrument - Hard, Medium and Light, plus things like a rimshot or two, separate Bell and Edge for Rides. It doesn't feature flams nor buzzes, like David's excellent Ludwig set, which is a shame. I suppose I could import them from David's kit, if that's OK. Subsidiary question: what's the difference between Accent, Default & Ghost and Hard, Medium & Light? (This is only really an issue, if I do decide to post the kit to the Library for approval.) Adrian
