A couple of questions:
1. When you sample drums - how do you do division between various groups of hits, in other words - how many different dynamic 'groups' do you have (for ex. weak, normal, hard hits, etc.)?
2. How many samples per "group" (an estimate)?
3. How many room mics do you usually record along with the spot mic of given drum?
I am mostly interested in toms sampling, as I find that it's usually the most problematic part for me, especially on fast drum rolls, where many drummers hit like pussies. Most of the time I only get low end rumble from those "technical" rolls, and not well defined hits, so replacing with good hits is a must.
I usually do as I said - weak, normal, hard, and about 3-4 samples per group. I am interested in other people's practice.
Cheers
