Hi Przemek! i'm also a fan of the vintage sound.. there's an old ludwig kit in my basement :)
I have listened to almost all kits from Sourceforge now.. There are not many kits which would be a candidate for a new default kit :( What do you think of the "Black Pearl Kit"? It has a bit more of that "universal timbre" then the Millo Kits, in my opinion. It currently has 14mb, but maybe we could strip it down to an even smaller version. We could leave some instruments multi-layered (like the snare), use only one layer for other instruments and remove some other instruments completely. About the kickstarter campaign: I'm also a bit sceptical about that... What is the general opinion on this topic? Are there other favourite drumkits which would be suited for the default kit?
