Best drums you can get for free:
* Download SFZ from RGC Audio (free soundfont player)
* Download SF2 drum soundfonts from e.g. www.hammersound.net

Most of the better-sounding solutions are not free at all.

Hammersound has some good stuff, and so does this site:

http://www.sf2midi.com/

Go to the Drums section and sort by filesize; there are some good kits there, including the excellent Sonic Implants Blue Jay Drums (think they came with Sonar...).

There are a couple of great kits on the Battery section of Banks/Patches on this site, if you have something that will read Battery inst, or if you want to use just the samples.

Out of them all - which ones are best? they are quite big sites

I appologize for this in advance, but in proper English, "well sounding" means something that dives underwater well, or a depth finder that works well. Or it could even mean something that dives deep into a well. Ain't it a funny language?

What you meant was "good sounding drumkit" or "drum kit that sounds good", "good" being an adjective describing the noun "drumkit" rather than the verb "sound". A significant detail here is that "sounds" is a transitive verb, or somesuch nonsense.

This ends today's foolish grammar lecture!

Oh, and did anyone mention LiveKit7? Search on that in the Samples forum for the link. Or on AudioShots.

Well sounding acoustic drumkit
