I have a library of sounds that I know work with little or no proccessing. Most are sampled from mixes I've done. I keep it down to 61 samples (a keyboards worth) and I think of it as my hit parade of drum hits.
It's constantly updated, but I've been doing this for around 15 years and there's still a few left from the very first "top61" version I did back in '89.
Now, I'm usually up for giving away anything that would help others make music, but this library is the exception. It's really personal and to be honest if you had it you're drum tracks could sound a bit like mine, possibly people would notice and critisize you for that.
Possibly, you'd think my library sucks !
Incidentally, in my time as an engineer, I've had access to other producers libraries and for a moment, I really nearly saved a copy and pinched them.
But then my pride in my abilities kicked in and I knew that if i did that, I'd owe a lot of my sound to them and that, i know, would tarnish the pride I feel when I listen to my own work.
