can't download the first sample, it says "The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable."

i prefer sample 2. the 1st sample sounds muddy compared to the high frequencies of the drum kit in the 2nd. the snare (and vox) in particular sound much more natural/crisper in the 2nd. the hi-hat and cymbals are a bit too bright to me though, maybe try attenuating a few dB around 12-14K'ish?
