Most "reviews" that I've read have been very positive.  What I want 
to do is use these sample to play parts in to flesh out 
arrangements.  In most cases I'll have some "real" drummers 
come in and play the parts on real sets.  So, I don't necessarilly 
need the greatest kits but I think I do want a few more variations 
than what came with the exs.  And I'd rather not spend a bunch of 
time making other sample sets into exs instruments.  Not at this 
point anyway.   Thanks btw to whoever posted the link for where 
to buy it.
