Was sampling our own drum kit at acoostic zoo yesterday and the results were great. We used our own hi-end gear and sampled at 24bit after going through a cranesong HEDD with TAPE Saturation on. After being inspired by how our High Quality it sounded after we made our own Sampler Instrument in Logic Studios EXS24, I went in search for others who had done the same unprocessed high quality of drum samples and found this article. I wanted to find more 24 bit hi definition recordings of great sounding drums.
