PlugInGuru has released a new WAV format version of their MegaMacho Drums drum kit sample library.

There are also Auto-Tuned vocal samples (male and female), Epic Ambient sound design kits and chopped recycle type groove type of kits. There are even 3 of the 13 main kits that were sampled with 13 second granular reverb for each of the 61 samples in a kit to make "Shadow Kits" that you can layer with any other kit for original drum sounds.
