Thanks a lot for the review. We'll take 4.75 out of 5 any day! As for the kicks, there are a ton of kicks, from top end smacky to round and felty. Here are some direct links to some new audio demos, remember now that the samples are exactly as you would get them, no additional processing:

The initial release is intended for drum replacement with plugins such as Drumagog, Sound Replacer, and Aptrigga... although there are some guys doing mapping as well. We are in the process, as donsolo said, of doing tons of cymbal sets so that it WILL soon be mapped out in various sampler formats so the drums can be programmed easily. But again, the purpose of the inital release is for hit replacement, hence the lack of cymbals for now. There is currently a gearslutz group buy which you can read about at
