'Sheffield drum record' is indeed available on CD and is combined with the 'Sheffield track record' , worth about 32 minutes of playing time. A very rare recording indeed ... guarantee to shake the stuff out of your almost perfect speaker/amp system. If you can get one hold on to it for your life's worth ! I managed to borrow one and sampled all the drums :-> Patrick.

Sounds intriguing for sampling purposes, since I'm using my S950 almost exclusively for percussion. Are there any other CD drum sources suitable for sampling out there that anyone knows of? (I've ordered a board that will allow me to sample direct from CD.) I've heard of the McGill University set, but it's a lot of dollars. BTW, did anybody happen to catch the articles in the AFM rag flaming McGill for producing their CD sample source set. They claimed this would cost scores of musicians' jobs, and they all but black-listed the musicians who "performed" for the sampling process. I don't know how you others feel, but I was rather amused by how intimidated they are by technology ... brian

Our local union (when I was in it :-) ) frowned on just plain synthesizers (and we're talking 1970s era mono-synth days). Likewise they hated string machines, mellotrons, drum machines, etc. A solo guitarist/singer (lounge act style) could use a drum machine -- but had to charge the client as if the drum machine were another musician -- and had to pay it's work dues! /Jeff/
