...or is there a better way to browse your own samples FAST?
I find that loading 128s to my projects slows down the CPU pretty noticeably, and makes the loading of projects take a while.
Whats the best way?

Checking in. Would like to know.
Also i can recommend the usage of drumsynths. So you wont need millions of samples.

Nope.
I spent quite some time creating and trying to use 128 packages for Push but honestly, it just adds a lot of extra bloat for not much benefit.
I use EZDrummer for a lot of stuff now and occasionally some kits from Live/Battery. Rarely do I bother with the 20,00+ drum sample packs I have purchased over the years as I will normally start with some samples and as the project progresses I just tweak and add to them to get what I am after.

OK - thanks for that.
As for browsing my extensive drum libraries – what is the best way that this can be done on Push. As much as Push is incredible – the limitations of the browser vs. Maschines ability to browse your samples directly is a real bugbear.
Is there a better way?

Spend some considerable time organising your sample library into usable folder structures
All the sample packs I have purchased I keep in a separate folder and I manually copy all the samples out of that into my own structure so I will have:
Drum Samples
--Claps
----Acoustic
----Synth
----Clicks
--Kicks
----Sub
----Dry
----Deep
----Acoustic
--Snares
----Tight
----Synth
----Rim
Maschine browser with tagging is really what Live needs. It would be very handy to have the ability to tag files but that has been asked for a decade.

I Still keep some hihat and perc 128s on my default project. There's a snare 128 on there too, but it never gets used. I really don't use samples for kicks and snares anymore. Punchbox for kicks, Kick 2 for snares... every project.

I try not to exceed 64 pads per drum rack. It does slow down Ableton’s responsiveness and load time significantly. It may have something to do with Live’s file indexing and sample analysis processes. I hope for better implementation in version 10.
