But I've heard the hollowest low end lacking drums get fattened up into great mixes and was taught to build up sounds the same way. Just my 2 cents, someone pointed out to me I always seem to 'go against' whatever's popular, maybe they're right. I think people have become so obsessed with 'banging drums' without the essential knowledge of mixing that we've entered a world of oversaturated bassy nonsense that sound crappy once mixed but sounds good out the box. I hear the same of alot of sounds in Maschine and it's expansions. The sounds in MOTU BPM are too 'urban' from being overprocessed, i don't even use the drums that came with my drum machine. It's even noticeable in newer stock libraries. You get a sound that 'bangs' from the beginning, but never truly 'fits' a mix like the original created sample would. Most of them just take sounds from stock kits from stuff like Battery, the Triton, MPCs, ect, and layer and process them for you. The problem I have with alot of these modern 'for sale instant bangin drums kits' is the original source of the sounds. I think alot of guys are limiting themselves by overlooking stock sounds made by professional sound designers who intend for their sounds to be layered(when needed), mixed to fit a sound/genre(house isn't supposed to thump like Rnb that doesn't thump like Hip hop, ect.), and tweaked to the individual consumer's liking. As I go from program to program, I take any sounds I've found and added to my signature arsenal with me. Even took the time to sample every drum from my triton rack. Still use sounds from MTV Music Generator for the Playstation.

I still use stock sounds from FL(Vintage & hip hop Kit is my go to).

I use what came in Reason(Kong has amazing sounds). I use the drums from my MPC 2kxl that I transferred to my computer. Still to this day use the drums from that library even without using the module. When I went to expand my drum library, I bought Battery. I think people underestimate what comes stock in programs(hear me out).
