It´s too much, really. 63K 909 bass drums? 17,5 hours of 1 second listening to each sample.  You will be spending more time sifting through these than you will be using on your music.

Yeah, it looked good to me until I saw the number of samples, and now I'm not sure if it's a badly written April Fools joke. 300,000 samples to cover just 5 drum machines? What is the bizarre logic that made them think you need 21,847 909 Snares but only 1,852 909 Claps? And I love the 909 bass drum but I think 20-30 samples would cover it. Not 63,000...

I'd rather have a good library of well-recorded samples from these machines (and there are free ones out there).
