Kit 1 is a tried-and-true kit I've used for a few years as my default kit. Kits 2 and 3 were designed to work well with a MIDI keyboard: black keys for hi-hats/crashes, white keys for kick, snare, and then low, medium, and high toms.

and THEN...962 different drum samples. I took my three kits and did a ton of variations:

Standard: the tracks with minimal processing. So TAPE-Standard is like light saturation. 

Marantz and Onkyo in the TAPE section are where I ran the files through two different tape decks (Onyko TA-W88 from a thrift store and a recently cleaned/serviced Marantz SD-630) on a fresh-opened NOS Maxell XLII S cassette tape. 

FX or withFX: tons of FX processing, virtually unrecognizable

WEIRD: strange processing I did on the M8

DIST: Tape distortion! Recorded with the levels really hot. 

Tmon: Tape monitoring. The sound of my tape deck while recording in, before it hits tape. Sounds like light tape saturation but no tape hiss.

All the others are combinations of these. So "Onkyo-WEIRD-FX-DIST" is the WEIRD kit made on the M8, run through heavy FX in Reaper, recorded onto tape with an Onkyo TA-W88 tape deck, with the levels hot enough to distort.

The plain Kits 01 through 03 all have a "TUNED" folder for kicks, where I tuned them chromatically for at least an octave in Melodyne. The Marantz-Standard tape kits also have tuned kicks. I might do more tuned kits but the sample pack's already half a gigabyte and I didn't want that to balloon if you don't need those. 

You can drop the whole "Tonic Drums" folder onto the M8 tracker and it'll load up fine. Samples are .WAV format, 96Khz. Enjoy!
