Great surprise for me, I really did not know this. Would be nice to add
this moment to license requirements on About page. I only posted that
chunk to show claim that attribution requirement is rather soft, if not
optional.

Yeah, just a moment, when I think, that some instruments don't use
samples at full potentional, though I could be mistaken.

First reading this, I though it is about samples (how they are real) -
most orchestral drums I could find on tube sound deep like timpany.
I though that MSLP or g-town bass drum samples are rather composed,
until something, what g-town bass drum samples resemble better (looks
like just matter of audio gear):
