Just the pulled the trigger on Blackbird 
(I already have the TD and CLA expansions)
I did a little demo between the Terry Date and CLA a while back, can look them up and to the do the same with Blackbird?
From what I heard the David Bendeth was bit of a disappointment

I have the CLA samples - you can skip them, you're not missing out on anything. Get these instead: http://vrmusicgroup.com/product/everything-bundle/
Oh, I do know VRM samples but forgot about them so thanks for the reminder, they sound great indeed
Damn, GASing for the Blackbird EX too
Edit - purchased the VRM everything bundle hehe.. sounds killer!

Skip the Bendeth pack. I regret paying for it. 1 kick, 2 snares. Usable as a blend, but not worth the price. CLA pack is cool, it has a certain character.
I'm thinking about getting Blackbird, is it worth it? Seems like a nice natural sounding pack.

I get such mixed advice/vibes on here about drum samples. Seems most of the time we are talking about just using a one shot behind the real drum for impact and consistency. I own a shitload of samples. (slate etc.) But on any of my projects ive never used anything other than a one shot blended underneath. What are you guys doing with the large multi tracked sample packs? I mean i get it if we are talking about programmed/midi drums, but how are you guys incorporating these sample packs into your live kits?
That's right, I find myself using more and more one shot samples just to get more punch out of real drums but I also I find many uses for large multi velocity samples such as ghost notes replacing/reinforcing, replacing sounds from MIDI parts as you said or simply having a wide choice of velocities to reinforce a real snare, tom, etc. in every situations. I program quite often drum parts these days using EZ drummer and (I may get insulted for that ahah!) I don't like Metal Machine, Made Of Metal (I like it more tho) enough to keep these samples on the final product. I always end by replacing with more natural sounding samples.

I use one-shots to help with well-recorded drums and the full samples to more heavily augment the sound of shittily-recorded drums.
Source good? Add impact via one shots
Source bad? Make good via multisamples, add impact via one shots.

Definetly going to get those!
I think I'd preferred those to Made of Metal.. :O
But I need to play around more with the EZD packs.
I bought "ILIO Sample Libraries: Double Platinum Drums" for $3 off of eBay yesterday, hope they sound good, can't find any audioclips. According to their website they cost $129..
I listened to the clips and it sounds really good for rock/pop stuff. I think I'll grab it mostly for rooms, they sound fantastic to me!
EDIT - Purchased and I can confirm: the rooms sound absolutely killer. Some snares will certainly be among my fave ones. Also I'm testing the VRM everything bundle and it's ridiculously awesome. I love the natural vibes in there and I was a good idea to include the unprocessed files as well. I recommand.
