Complete preset drum kits in Ableton Live?

[RadioJimmy]

Hey guys,

I’m an Ableton newbie, coming from GarageBand, and I have a newbie question: is there a way to load complete preset drum kits in Live, the way you can in GarageBand?

I mean, I know Impulse has preset drum kits, but 8 notes is a little too limited. And I know I can use Drum Rack to create custom drum kits, but sometimes I don’t want to have to hand-pick every sample and map it to a MIDI note. I just want to have ready-made, complete drum kits that I can quickly load and switch between. Is there any way to do that in Live?

Sorry for the n00b question, but I can’t find any tutorials that address this. I’d really appreciate any help

If you need more than 8 notes, then you're probably better off using a drum plugin like Addictive/Superior Drums. You'll get better quality of samples, more tracks and the ability to channel each element as a new track in Ableton.
