Decided to make our drum kit and snare libraries free. No disrespect intended to anybody who paid money for these, but I suppose now what you paid for was early access.
None of these are quite "normal" drum kits, though Virtuosity Drums which we made with Versilian for the last KVRDC basically is a normal jazz kit. Big Rusty Drums is a very large 1980s Polish kit which did its best to imitate Western drum construction but couldn't quite do it with the available tools and materials. Unruly Drum has three snares, including a 22" giant made from a cut-down kick drum, and a kick that also has snare wires on it, with the main idea being to maximize the sympathetic snare buzz when hitting the kick. Swirly Drums is a punk kit played with brushes because we wanted to test some stuff with modeling drum stirs and this was the kit we had laying around, and also contains brushed darbouka, bongos and djembe because that was also laying around. Frankensnare is snares from tiny to huge and from reasonable to multi-drum concoctions.
All can now be found at https://shop.karoryfer.com/pages/free-samples
Big Rusty Drums, Unruly Drums, Frankensnare and Swirly Drums now free

Heh, that works for me. These are all also open source on Github now, so they can be updated and ported to other samplers and so on.

Oh, no, not at all. Just planning to stick to things I grok better than drum kits in the future - ethnic stuff, bowed strings and ethnic bowed strings. And maybe some weird guitars, when I want to be self-indulgent.
