These days I took some time to try and organize some drum kits in Reasamplomatic.
I think Reasamplomatic could be the best free sampler for drums. I've tried a few and to me it's the most flexible and feature-packed.
However, I'm not sure if I have properly learned how to organize multi-sampled kits with it. So far I have only used very limited drum kits, but since there are so many free ones around that have more layers, I thought it could be useful to try and map them properly.

There are many mappings in the sfz format around for these kits, but I honestly think they're very clumsy to use.
In order to have multiple outputs for mixing different pieces separately there's basically no other way than loading the whole sfz program in a single track per every single instrument.

Here are the track templates for Reaper.

Big Mono: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gC3...ew?usp=sharing. Samples from: http://www.analoguedrums.com/products/big-mono/

Ruffrider: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HJd...ew?usp=sharing. Samples from: http://www.michaelkingston.fi/kingst...ruffrider.html

I've tried to stick to the GM standard as closely as possible because I like to try different kits and swap them as needed without touching the MIDI data.
For the Big Mono kit the samples are labelled very carefully so it's easy to map them.
The Ruffrider kit is harder to map because the samples are not named as carefully and the kit has a less straightforward layout. I had to rely more on my ears to figure out the right velocity layers, to which notes assign every piece etc.

It would be very useful if some drum programming expert could take a look at these and tell me if and what I did wrong.
For example, I wasn't sure how to set the polyphony, because especially for the cymbals there may be a benefit in letting the notes ring out even if there are contiguous hits. Besides, if I set it any higher than one I have noticed some glitches.

I had also put others in another topic: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread....52#post1997752.

Thanks!
