These give a big clean sound, but I would like to start playing the drums myself and using these in my songs but don't want to mic a drum kit.

I have been thinking of buying an electronic kit and then running this into my audio interface and then to my DAW.

Can you provide any comments on how you record your drums and what you use?

thanks

My drums are all EZDrummer or Superior Drummer. I do have the ability through a drum pad or midi keyboard to make my own loops or modify existing loops, but having purchased enough kits and samples now, I really don't need to do much. Like many of these types of samples though, it's a money pit. You can endlessly throw money at new kits. Another good source is Groove Monkey, but you will need at least one kit (EZ Drummer works) to play them.
