the "dre" and "kanye" kits suck...
make some connections with producers around your city and try to get some drums off them.
i have about 2GB of clean drums (not with the extra frequencies from synths/instruments on top). there's literally thousands of packs i haven't gone through that i have received off real people (not the net) and they are just mind blowing. then i have about 1GB of packs from sites like p5audio.com, modernbeats.com, banginbeats.com etc and all the kits from the triton (they suck), the motif (a bit better), the mo' phatt (very good but not there's not enough) and many other synths/samplers.
i am currently putting together a library of my samples together. just getting the best out of every pack and putting them in one folder for easy use when searching for the right kick or whatever.
by the time i'm done they should all fit on one or two CDs and i will probably sell them here on streethop. might send Rukas a sample and see if he wants to put them in the shop

don't hold your breath though, seeing thousands of folders just kills my spirit when i'm doing it, so i spend like 2 hours a week going through the shit.
nope. although the DACs on the Moog alter the sound wonderfully (they are supposed to be clean converters but a lot of companies are doing this), it is just an analog synthesizer. You can make the same sounds with any analog synth that has some decent capability.
you don't have to spend big...
