Gearslutz and Ultimate Metal [1] forums have drum sample stickies. No
licensing information for most of them.

In any way, the reason why you can't seem to be able to find "nice"
drum sounds is because not many of the freely available samples are
heavily and carefully layered. For a dynamic and "full" sound, LAYER A
LOT (minus bad reverb).

Else, sit on the throne. But even then, you'd definitely want to add
transient triggers, and then we go back to "nice" samples yet again.
What a nice recursion!
