Hi Bob,
  I'm looking for drum-sets incuding <rimshots/clickshots/different cymbal
and hi-hat-attacks/sticks/mallets/brushes> and variations like these on as
well snare and toms. The usual sets are very basic without a great deal of
soundvariations like I mentioned. I'm not sure if the Wizoo-sets included
these sound? Anyone has experience with this one?
I have to admit that, while many people like the Wizoo sets, I wasn't all
that impressed with them.  My favorite drum samples come from Burning
Grooves (Ilio) and Peter Erskine (Sampleheads).  There are other good ones
around too but I like these particular sets.  There are brushes on the
Burning Grooves and one CD is dedicated to looped grooves.  The Peter
Erskine is probably more useful to you.  There are many kits on BG that have
been sampled with reverb.  While they sound good, I prefer to have samples
that are dry or at most have room ambience in them.  Sometimes adding the
right amount of reverb to the room ambience really sounds nice and alive.
The demo from Pure Drums (Yellow Tools) sounds excellent but I have not
heard this samples on their own yet so I can't vouch for them.  There are
other sets of notable mention too but I thought that I would mention a
couple of the ones I like.  There are some people who like the New York City
Drumworks CD's.  Personally, I don't care for them.  Keep in mind that these
are personal choice and entirely up to your taste.  What I like may not be
exactly what you like.  I would recommend trying them out for yourself at
your dealer or at the very least, listen to the online demos.

HTH,
Fernando
