EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I recommend using 0bd for any Drum libraries. Backbeat sounds WAY punchier 
and slamming at 0 compared to -6. The EXS engine fattens up with hotter 
signals and there's no reason to be conservative, since it is very difficult 
to internally distort the EXS.

You can always turn the level down on the channel, but turning up the channel 
level doesn't make it fatter (but 0db DOES make it fatter and puchier).

best,
