Is there another manufacturer, beside Drumdrops (I know about Drumwerks, but they aren't really on pair), that offers high quality drum samples with multiple velocities and round-robins?

Toontrack? XLN Audio? BFD?

I meant samples, as in, literally freely accessible samples. Wav files you can use to create your own programs/patches/instruments.

SM Drums is free. Also, Soundiron usually include wav files with their samples, I think, though I'm not sure if they have any regular drum kits - they got one made from auto parts, various cinematic drums etc.

Yeah I know about those and about quite a few more of the free ones (Salamander being my favourite). :)

Also, I know about Analogue Drums.

Just wanted to know whether I was missing something truly great in a <$50 per kit price range. :)

This is the same method MJ used when he was working on Anthony Marinelli's Thriller.

What kits are you looking for ? I work at Drumdrops so if there are some genres / types of kits you are interested in - let us know and we can look at adding hem to our recording schedule next year.

natural drum kit and analogue drums are both sold as unencrypted wav samples

analogue drums mentioned before but doesn't get the appreciation they deserve. interface is a bit basic but the sound is on par with any and all drum libraries I've heard.

joey sturgis drum forge - 3 bills for approx 10+ kits - a bit on the heavier side but the recording is really good and the interface is pretty decent.
comes with both processed and unprocessed copes of everything. has a few smaller expansion packs as well.

vr music group has some of the absolute best sounding snares I've ever heard and they are dirt cheap. no full kits and the bass drum doesn't have enough layers to be of use to me.

beta monkey - if he did multiple round robins and some more velocity... he would be on par with anyone. def a lot of 'warmth' in his samples and I love them but admittedly not enough depth IMhumbleO

ultimate metal doc com - you can find all sorts of free kits that are on par with many you can buy but have no interface - just multi samples.
