Whatz the deal

I came in to a little bit of extra money( don't know how :o And I was thinking about buying a sound kit just to see what they were about. So I wanted to come to "THE" place and ask the people that know, a question? Who gives you the best bang for the buck? I have been producing for a second and have many sounds, but the not knowing is kill'n me :? Is it worth it to look in to? Are is it best to continue to get my sounds from vinyl? Thanks for all answers.
PEACE

Is it East Coast? Dirty South? Midwest Swang? or Pacific Coast?

If you don't know I would suggest one that has a basic set of sounds like the mpc2000 production tools by big fish. These are a lot of basic drum sounds you hear a little in every kind of song. 808's, 909's, 606's, 727's, linn drums, boss dr 660's, roland r8's,.

Also try out banginbeats kits. You can buy one kit singly for $10 to see if that's your style. That's pretty cheap.

I would have to second the comments on banginbeats kits. I, myself was extremely skeptical about purchasing kits (usually create my own sounds via my sequencers sound editing/ocassionally sample), but a lot of the samples from banginbeats are of good quality. Nice solid kicks and a wide variety of snares and other sound effects. Have something for every genre and flavor.... Start small....
