You need to work on your marketing and business skills!

There are tons of reasons why a page like that isn't going to work very well, here's a few:

Are we just meant to take your word for it regarding the quality of your samples? No demo examples? No one here has heard of you but you want us to instantly trust you? Your claim that "Quality is unmatched by other Drum Sample collections" is quite a claim and it would be good to hear some examples. Maybe post a free drum machine for download so people can check out the quality or at least some example loops?

Also you don't mention at all where these samples originated. Did you sample them all yourself or are they just ripped from somewhere and you've put them together as your own "collection"? I can't imagine someone who either owned, hired or had access to all these drum machines (and also all the recording equipment required) would be then trying to sell them via a freehost page. Which brings me to...

If you are going to try and sell a product I would seriously advise against using freehosting! It's far too easy to set up a free page with fake details and then set up a scam to cheat people. Most people would steer clear of buying from pages like yours for this reason.

Finally that page looks ugly and, well, a bit dodgy. I'm not saying that it is dodgy but it looks like the kind of page you usually see selling fake viagra or something! There are tons of free web templates out there for you to use when creating a page and they all look a billion times better than what you have there. There's no excuse these days for creating pages as horrible as yours, it's not the nineties any more!

Well, that's my advice for you. Feel free to do whatever you like with it.

I gotta agree with what chuck said. No details about the samples, their format, how they were recorded, etc. - that's the most unprofessional part (and yes, you need some better website).

In addition, I really don't think many people are interested too much in such samples, as you can basically get them for free just about everywhere on the web, on mag CDs, with drum samplers and so on.
Having said that, it might be a good idea to supply them along with some of the most common sampler formats. Battery (1 or perhaps 2), Kontakt (1 or perhaps 2) and EXS come to mind, all of them easily translatable (or importable) to other sampler formats but still delivering the samples on their own, should you not own any sampler loading said formats or wanted to do your own kits.
For instance, I'm having a truckload of individual drum samples (must be like around 4-5 gigs of one shot drum samples), yet, I hardly ever use them much but tend to stick to some premade kits, simply because when inspiration strikes me, I don't want to make up my own drum kit in the first place.
Properly constructed kits really add an immense value to drum sample collections, especially when things such as exclusive groups (for automatic hihat muting and the likes) are already taken care of.

Even if this sounds sort of discouraging, the times of raw, almost undocumented samples delivered on a CD/DVD are kind of over.

Furthermore, there was a page once, that shared all those drummachines for free - all in all 80MB, one shots.

Why should somebody pay 20USD for a CD if you could get that all for free once? Personally, I wouldn't do that.

This looks well fuckin' dodgy! Hahaha... No thanks.
