So I purchased and downloaded the Bonzo kit - they only had that and
the "Old Funk" kit. Since I was looking for something modern, tasty (and
Paiste), I didn't get the Old Funk kit.

I'm not too happy with the Bonzo kit in terms of playability. The sounds
are good, but in order to really use this with my electronic kit, I
would have to spend days and days reprogramming the dynamics. It doesn't
come close to any of the default Logic Kits in playability or the other
kits - Sonic Implants, the default SampleBase, and the default Yellow
Tools Independance Free kits.

It does have one thing that *nobody* else seems to have: Paiste Cymbals
& Hats - They are just the best sounding cymbals on earth and therefore,
I might have to get down and redo the dynamics on the Bonzo kit after all.
