This is a new acquisition and I quickly realized that this will be used on a majority of my work.

Fantastic Sound!
These samples are incredible! Really fantastic and sound very deep and three-dimensional. No issues at all with the sounds. Great work!
however, one little bit of critique:
as there are several round robins and velocity layers, you should name the files differently. most modern samplers like Kontakt recognise velocity layers by their file name (wildcards) and it would speed up the mapping process immensely if you named them accordingly with RR1, RR2, RR3... and V01, V02, V03,... depending on what Kontakt (let's be honest, it is the industry standard)refers to when importing the samples. I'd be happy to provide the Kontakt patches for free some day but you really have to feed the beast with what it demands 😉 Finding out where one velocity ends the next one begins by listening isn't quite a funny job.
Soundwise: Among the best samples I have ever heard!
Thank you for your review and for sharing your feedback with us. We're thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the sound of our DW Collectors Drum Samples.
Getting the labelling format right for WAV files is definitely a challenge — there’s no single solution that works for everything. We create our own Kontakt drum libraries and are very familiar with how wildcards work. However, that labelling format isn’t compatible with Slate Trigger 2 and we know that many of our customers rely on it when creating their own TCI files from our samples.
What could work well would be to split the Velocity Layers into folders?
The alternative would be to provide multiple labelling options for each pack, but this could become confusing for users navigating our website.
"Enjoying these samples, especially The Wood Snare Collection! I used the Yamaha Beech on Judas Priest - blending it with Scott’s snare worked really well.
I’ve received a lot of compliments on the snare sound!"
— Andy Sneap (Producer/Guitarist)Judas Priest, Dream Theater
"I’ve been using the kits on all our latest demos and they sound killer! Nice work!!"
— Jack Collins (Guitarist/Songwriter)Dead Poet Society
"Amazing samples clearly made with care. I've used them in recent sessions and got great feedback on the drum sound. Highly recommend to any songwriter or producer looking for fresh, high-quality drums. It’s a go-to for me now."
