Love the vintage kit, use it more than anything else! Personally I'm gonna go for the two fairfax kits and the black oyster

I'm thinking a Fairfax (everyone seems to like them), vintage dry (demo sounds excellent) and maybe studio prog or the reel machine.  Looking for some of solid basic drum sounds but with 3 selections one of them can be more on the esoteric side.

I think the Vintage Dry kit is really unique among drum libs. Not for all genres, though!

Thinking jazz brushes, black velvet and session percussion..

I just picked up Indie, which I can see getting a lot of use.  It makes me want to write songs that sound kind of like "My Sharona".
 
I think the Studio Pop/Rock/Prog kits (aka the original AD1 factory set) get overlooked.   Before catching BF sales, I made a lot of use out of the "Steely" kit in one of them.

I have all of the packs and IMO, they're ALL very good.....you really can't go wrong. I like to mix/match different packs with various midi packs as well......there's a lot to work with as far as creativity is concerned.
 
Best is to listen to all the demo's and see which suits your fancy..........I couldn't make up my mind either and ended up fancying them all.  
 
Session Percussion gives a variety to the rest with some Latino/Caribbean feel.......as I wanted variety.......good stuff!!

I'm still laughing about the (11 month) bump! A guy could get what you want or get what fills a "hole" in your drum selection. A while back I got Session Percussion and Jazz Brushes as hole fillers and love them. The Blue Oyster kit is the Bonham kit but can be tuned to make a great Indie kit. Just as good as the Indie kit they have. You would not go wrong getting both Fairfax kits and Black Velvet. They are just really good sounding kits. I would like to have the Black Oyster Ringo kit and the Funk if its a punchy funk kit.

Yo Daddy, I didn't find the Funk pack to be punchy as I was expecting it to be, but still a good kit. Of course, it wasn't hard to make it punchy with some minor tweaking to get it where you want it to be.

Thanks Mesh, just what I wanted to know. I can do that with the Funk Masters EZD kit. Ol' Skool funk is played kinda quiet and I like it punchier. I think tweak the drums and choose the right midi is the way to go.

 I also agree....I like the funk drums to be punchy and the bass to be low down & slap happy funkaaaaaaaaaay!!!
