Yep! It's finally available a la carte. Get it while you can! (just kidding, it's not temporary). Beautiful sounding kit. A lot of fun. If you're an Infinite Player owner it is a must-have if you like tribal world percussion drum kits a la Peter Gabriel.

Just scooped it and am enjoying the sounds a lot! Nice to have something really unique to play with.

On the product page, there are 4 instruments named "Taos Kick" in each of the three formats. What's the difference between them or is it a typo?

It's especially great to see sets from the Drum Masters 2 Platinum become available a la carte. (I have Drum Masters Platinum, which didn't include about five items that were added to DM2 Platinum - including the Jazz Ludwig kit, Bonham 2 kit, this Taos kit, and a couple of grooves packages.)

Squids - any hints on whether those other sets will eventually become available a la carte as well?

(I'm wondering if I should wait and buy one of the cheaper bundles that includes the ones I'm missing instead of buying them a la carte. In the meantime, I'll probably buy an Ocean Way Drums SE set or two instead.)

At some point we're going to have a better system for picking out a la carte kits. The only reason they aren't ALL available that way is that we don't products to get "lost" in a sea of other products. But since we're so heavy on drums and we have so much more coming we're going to try to do a system for picking and choosing that is easy to follow. The chart thing is a good step in that direction but we can do better. So... probably/maybe/eventually.

The "Squidi MIDI" grooves work GREAT with these kits

Squids and company,

Thanks for releasing this kit seperately. It's become one of my favorites!

Not sure. I'll have to look into it and let you know. I think it could just be different takes with different beaters or something. But I'll find out.

Wait until you see what's next! Midi grooves from the masters themselves. I have Danny Gottlieb in the studio right now doing midi grooves on the V-Drum kit!
