Jon - please realise that the Xtreme HH collection features mainly kicks, snares and hats. Some 340 dry kicks, 340 small room kicks, 230 dry snares, 230 small room snares, 156 dry hats, 156 small room hats (that's actually short, long and pedal hats, so probably 156/3=52 really different hat sounds). In comparison, the "Cymbals and Misc" folder is tiny with 27 items -- which is cymbals, toms, stick, rimshot, tambourine, and some others. So if you're looking for a wide ranging assortment of all possible drum sounds, the Xtreme HipHop is definitely _not_ the thing to buy. I got the lib from a magazine that wanted me to do a review (which was cancelled for irrelevant reasons), and personally I would never buy it. Nice if you're into hiphop probably, but you can't even make a half-decent rock kit with it. And then I don't even comment on the loops... ahwmygod... -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra h @ k n o w a r e . n l Omega Art: http://www.omega-art.com/
