I like the idea of both loose samples and packaged kits, too. The biggest problem with only offering loose samples is this: unless some way exists to indicate exactly how each sample was recorded and is supposed to fit, one would most likely cobble together a very inconsistent and unrealistic kit. While occasionally this could make for an interesting effect, so far I like the kits made of sounds that were all recorded the same way. Any time I try to patch together a kit (say, borrow a couple toms from one kit to flesh out another kit) it just doesn't sound right. It's not just the difference in the acoustic sound of the drums-- it's the difference in the mics, mic placement, preamps, effects during recording (like any eq, comp, etc.), the room they're in, the medium to which they're recorded... too many variables. If your kits are consistent, realistic, and complete, I'd be interested. But unless the kits you sold offered significantly more flexibility and usability (not just "wow man, look how many samples THIS one has!" but actually useful sounds) than those kits that already exist, I personally couldn't justify spending the money. Best of luck with the project! If I think of any other suggestions, I'll submit them. Dan
