I want all the drums from drum machines, keyboards and sound modules in 
the form of aiff or wav files on a CDROM.
I have alot of drum machine drums from some sample CDs called '116 
electric drum machines' and 'Dance Mega Drums V1'
But I know they are not complete because there are only maybe 60 
samples for the Alesis SR16 but when I search the internet for the 
specs of the Alesis SR16 there are 100s of drum sounds. So the sample 
CD people are leaving some sounds out. I would like to have a complete 
collection of drums from all the drum machines except all those 
analogue cheap sounds which form the bulk of the sample CDs I 
mentioned.

I have bought 2 separate sample CD sets from eBay that boasted to 
contain all the drums from the Triton, Mo Phatt, Motif, XV5080 etc etc. 
But both seperate products were absolutely crappy quality. I think they 
used some sort of automated sampler cause 2 out of 3 files were just 
silence or a bit of noise. And the recording quality of both products 
was extremely poor to the point of ridiculousness.

I have gained a complete set of drums of a yamaha drum machine (maybe 
the ry10) or something) which are quality from an akai list members 
link to downloads.

Has anyone bought a quality COMPLETE library of any drum machines, 
keyboards or modules? Let me know yall. I'd even like the drums from 
keyboards like Korg M1 etc. Just so I have as many drum sound options 
as possible.
Thanks,
Roman Pirie.

Hmmmm.... sampling and selling drum samples from current products like the
Motif, Triton, etc., you refer to is dodgy and will almost certainly be
frowned on by the manufacturer to the point of legal action (especially
Roland who are particularly strict!). Even giving them away free is not on
either - the same as lifting and giving away samples from a commercial sound
library!

Samples from older, discontinued products such as the M1 or an old LinnDrum,
whatever, is not so dangerous (although some will not allow even that if the
manufacturer is still in business).

For this reason, you are unlikely to find any commercial products with the
drum sounds you require.

It could be argued that if you borrow/hire the original and sample
themselves for your own use, that would be ok but, in fairness, that's the
same as borrowing, say, Garritan Personal Orchestra and sampling that - it's
a lost sale for the manufacturer who is trying to recoup costs from sales
(as well as paying staff, etc.).

The only kosher variation would be if you personally owned the products in
question and sampled them purely for your own use (like copying a CD onto
cassette for use in the car, whatever).

As for stuff on eBay... don't get me started! Largely sub-standard shite
made by cowboys to make a few bucks. I've not bought any but I know loads of
people who have and almost all are utter rubbish. Many are also totally
illegal (not that eBay give a fish's arse about that... as long as they get
their commission!!!).
