I'm looking for free and simple samples that I can load onto my bass player's computer. He also uses Reaper (I converted him from GarageBand), but doesn't have a lot of tech or computer background. I just want to drop in some decent drum samples in ReaDrums so he can program some simple drumbeats. Help!

Its just an open source format editable like a text file in notepad, so you need the sfz file (usually a very small file) plus a directory of wav files that the sfz file refers to
Sfz tells the sampler various things like what samples are mapped to what key, how the velocity layers respond , adsr etc... The addressing and folder patgs need to be consistent
Most of the free sample sets include the kontakt nki format , sfz as well as the original wavs....most of the ones on that webpage do for sure
Sfz is easily playable using the free rgc sfz player plus the evergreen shortcircuit
Or you could just use a readrum setup with the wavs , but multi layer sampling is gonna take a mlion instances of reasaplomatic
