The Drumgizmo team have officially announced version 0.9.14 of their drum sampling plugin.
DrumGizmo is an open source, multichannel, multilayered, cross-platform drum plugin and stand-alone application. It enables you to compose drums in MIDI and mix them with a multichannel approach. It is comparable to that of mixing a real drumkit that has been recorded with a multimic setup.
Version 0.9.13 of drum sampling plugin, Drumgizmo has recently been released with the much anticipated diskstreaming feature.

unfa has published an extensive video tutorial on how to synthesize a kick drum, a snare drum, a hihat and a crash cymbal using the softsynth ZynAddSubFX.
DrMr is an LV2 sampler plugin. It's main reason to exist is to give a way for lv2 hosts to have a built in drum synth that can save its entire state (i.e. no need to go out to external tools and no need to save extra state).
The avldrums.lv2 plugin is a drum sample player dedicated to Glen McArthur's AVLdrums. This self-contained plugin provides a convenient way to rapidly sequence and mix midi-drums.
The AVLdrums comes as two separate drumkits: Black Pearl and Red Zeppelin. There are 5 velocity layers for each of the 28 kits pieces or drum-zones for both kits.
The main benefits compared to loading the soundfont into a generic sample player are:
Through a collaboration with Michael Oswald, Libre Music Production are proud to present two high quality open source drumkits for DrumGizmo.
Michael has written a tool (DGPatchMaker) in the programming language Haskell to create DrumGizmo drum kits from existing sample libraries, and using that, he has created patches for the free SM Mega Reaper Drumkit and the Salamander kit.
In this tutorial I will show you how to use Glen MacArthur's fantastic AVL Drumkits sample pack with 'a-Fluid Synth', Ardour's built in FluidSynth plugin. I will also show you how to load midnam files to make it easier to do drum programming within the DAW.
Glen MacArthur, maintainer of AVLinux, has just announced version 1.1 of his AVL Drumkit sample pack intended to bring an "authentic acoustic, organic drum sound to your MIDIDAW arrangements and preserve real-world characteristics such as tom ringing and overtones unlike many General MIDI kits that sound sterile."
