I deleted the kit already. It was taking up needed space in dropbox.
But good 808 kits are ALL OVER the internet to be had.

this list looks a lot like this

I'l have to say. Big collection BUT: quality of the samples is partial bad (clicks or gap at the beginning or the end of the sample, monosamples but recorded at a stereotrack so it eats up twice as much space as it should be, partial bad naming)

I agree man, but it's an alright place to start and some of the machines in there are hard to come by. I use the Alesis and Roland TR55 kicks quite a bit.

I recommend TR-808 sample library from machines.hyperreal.org and Wave Alchemy's tape TR-808 samples.

Samples in Wave Alchemy's tape TR-808 sample library are recorded in 24 bit rate, and professionally recorded and complied, and it's free!

But I've been using 808 samples from machines.hyperreal.org on my MPC-2000XL. They are in WAV format 16bit 44.1KHz, so you can use it directly on MPC-500, 1000, 2000, 2500, 3000, or 5000.
