I have the feeling that my drum samples are a little bit low quality, do you guys any good drum kits that dont cost that much and have good quality (not compresed by uploading, 24bit/48khz etc.)? Also does any of you know what the bigger producers use?

Im guessing its probably how you use them, I've never bought a kit, all my drums including some instruments are all sampled. A few tips you can use before you purchase one tho..

make sure your using them in mono and that they are in .wav files.
also never forget to normalize your samples (volume and pan)
look into layering sounds as well. definitely a big help getting your drums bigger and punchier. soon youll be able to use this technique in other parts of your work.

last tip, probably the most important one....

Never ever buy a kit...

Peace! ;)
