24bit Drum Samples For Use In Reason Redrum Options

[taco6]

Anyone know where to get more drum samples (single hits) for Reason's Redrum preferrably in 24Bit or high quality 16-bit? I have a ton of drum machine samples, but am looking for something different...I'm not a big fan of the ones that come with Reason for Redrum. I may just have to effect the same old ones I use to make em sound different... what are you guys doing?

If you're absolutely set on 24-bit samples, this may not be responsive to your exact needs, but maybe others will benefit from it: there is an absolute wealth of samples available for Reason in Soundfonts, thousands of which are freely available on the web. One of the best sources is here:

http://www.thesoundsite.net/

You can download them uncompressed, which sidesteps the .sfark issue. (BTW, there is now a beta version of an .sfark extractor available for OS X only, but it only handles files compressed with sFark 2.0 or later, and many of the compressed Soundfonts out there were done with sfark 1.x, so it's best to get uncompressed one.)

There's plenty o' cheese, but there are also some excellent Soundfonts with excellent samples in them. In Reason, you can load an entire Soundfont into an NN-XT, or use the samples from the Soundfont in Redrum or any of the other sample-using modules.

There are some great-sounding acoustic drum kits and sounds on that site.

I don't really know anything about Sound Fonts, but am interested. Can you tell me which ones on this site are good...especially acoustic drums...thanks.
