Instead of rinsing out sample packs, go do some sampling yourself. All these sample packs around it's like walking into a shop and buying a premix cake, just adding a little bit of ingredients and 'hey presto, you have a cake'
For instance, if you want some solid hitting snares go check out alot of bands on the Geffen label through the 90's. It's like they found the "hot as fuck" button.
