To dry bones : don't try to copy THE DVD onto your HD , copy only the directory from the dvd !

In his latest effort, "Doru Malaia - 230 Ethnic Drums & Percussions", Doru gave me a great opportunity to explore percussion around the world. I got the chance to explore instruments that I never dreamed of, or in some cases, never even heard of. I spent hours just listening to them. They are clean, the tails are long enough for editing without wasting space, and they are just plain fun. I'd look at a wave form, listen to it over and over, and think about how I might use it in my music. With the wealth of samples he provided, I am building drum kits that are giving me exotic sounds for my music. And all this, for very little out of my wallet. I'm coming back to music after a long break and it's because of efforts like this to make really great sounds affordable, I don't have to think small. What more can I say, buy it. You won't be disappointed.

Doru Malaia's 230 Ethnic Drums & Percussions dvd is exactly what I was searching on the web for. Each instrument is meticulously organized making it easy to search through. There are so many drums and other percussive instruments here its amazing. And now I have each and everyone of them right at my finger tips literally. Each sample is of the highest quality. Better sounding then most I have acquired from others. It would take someone years to find each of these instruments to sample. Doru took the time to give us all the opportunity to own a copy of his library. I will soon be purchasing his other collection of samples. These are an asset to every recording studio and musician\composer.
Sincerely,

Doru's done it again! 230 Ethnic Drums & Percussion is a treasure trove of world instruments, many of which are quite difficult to find elsewhere. The quality of the recording is very high, and there is a sufficiently variable set of samples per instrument to make this an extremely musical sample set. Within minutes of receiving this disc, I was sequencing "Gahu," a dance tune from the Ewe tribe of Ghana, using the correct instrumentation - generally not possible without gathering lots of costly instruments and an ensemble of specially trained musicians. This is easily the best musical purchase I've made in years. Hats off to Doru, the sampling master!

Wow, 4.16GB of raw 24-bit high quality ethnic drums in wav format. What more could you ask for? I've been searching endlessly for a good ethnic percussion library--something very hard to come by. Now I have Moroccan, Odaiko, and tabla drums; plus another 200+ different ones to choose from.
The samples on this CD will wet anyone's appetite, especially the film producer types. The variety is astonishing for $29US. Doru could have easily charged $199US for this collection. All in the all, the most gratifying 30 bucks I've spent in a long time. I will definitely consider purchasing the Superfx Percussion to complement this set.

Hi Doru.
I remember when you released Superdrums 8000 I was rather critical of your website. I have to say - unless I've forgotten what it was like before - the website looks quite nice now. I'm not 100% fond of the bright yellow font you use to describe your products - but it does seemed to have lost the very frantic mish-mash of colours and flashing text and other things that I thought detracted from what you were trying to get across.
To much more important things - the products themselves.
I only ever downloaded the freeware Superdrums demo sounds and you know - I recently found a use for these AGAIN!
With all the drum samples I have in various formats, I still find a use for grabbing individual sounds from here and there to create a "kit". Back when you released Superdrums I thought this sounded like a bargain, but one that I'd never get much use out of. Seems like I was wrong there.
When I get around to it and I'm not having a big spend month, I think I'll collect all 3 of your products.
I love ethnic percussion and although I'm purhcasing a few ethnic libraries over the next couple of months, I'm not going to make the same mistake again of thinking I won't get any use out of your latest product.

My DVD arrived today and it installed without a hitch. There was a smudge or scrape on the DVD but it didn't interfere with the data.
WOW! What a lot of sounds. I love so-called "ethnic" percussion -- I say so-called because when it comes down to it, we're ALL ethnic, yes? ;-) -- and this collection is just huge. It's rare for me not to recognize the name of a musical instrument, but I had to look quite a few of these up.
Did I remember to say WOW?
Doru, once I've had a real listen to these I'll write up a proper review for you.
P.S.: After hearing these I kinda-sorta regret that I didn't get the 24/96 version, but the 16/44 sounds great.
