I've started doing that with all my drums and hats.
Mono analog kits layered on complementary stereo real world samples. The space and depth you get is amazing, especially with the highs. Layering a 909 ride with a real world 15 inch zildjan ride sounds damn good.
cool. that's what i meant. a nice way to get a shitload of real samples is using breaks from songs (some d'n'b breaks packages) and slicing them to get some nice perc sounds.
