Drum Kits-How Many?

[thesalesdept]

Just wondering if people here generally keep a few drum hits on their card at all times, or do you sample and chop them as you go? I'm starting to see the benefit of having a few different drum sounds on hand if I want to make some quick beats as opposed to sampling something or chopping it up...but I also like sampling various iPad apps as well as I go along.

Always keep it stocked with one hits...sometimes too many, not enough room for other samples

i keep banks a/f - b/g - and c/h saved with kicks, snares and hi-hats.

24 kicks, 24 snares, 24 hats

I make jungle so I have a prechopped, clean Amen (it's like 909 is for trap), 808, 909 and 707 kits. Otherwise, I use chunky chops. Keepin it simple.
