Best drumkits for creative production

I recently bought NI Synthetic Drum Kit. I'm happy and dissappointed with the samples at the same time . They sound really good and are diversified, but most of them doesn't need any treatment - they sound good as is. I would like to buy/download something allowing more space for creativity.

What do you recommend?

I can't see how samples being good stifles creativity. You actually want worse quality samples?

nope, but they are already compressed, equalized, reverberated, distorted, layered etc. I'd like to do that on my own :)

Good call scooter.

The Kalava kit (just google kalava samples) has some great ones in it, they're not all crispy quality, but I really like using them.

And also, just slowly build your library through DLing stuff from here and other forums.

GURU is good. Loads of awesome kits. Plus many more available to download, and I find it a lot of fun to work with.

why not try and make non drum sounds into drums sounds? then you'll have some work to do

synths make the best drums a lot of times.

try a huge pitch envelop dropping 20 semitones at once with a very short decay...theres your kick for starters.
