Whilst not as versatile as some of the others mentioned for the genres you’re interested in take a look at the Stockholm SDX. Clean, dry, tight sounds that fit into all manner of tunes.
All the others mentioned in this thread are winners. Hansa is somewhat old now but is still requested by my clients regularly.

I’ve already used the Club kit on an Indie track and it sat beautifully. Some of these kicks have a real heft to them… lovely stuff. With the all the very best SDX genre really doesn’t come into. A well recorded kit is just that.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but if you bounce out the tracks pre-send and split the channels, it creates mono files. I know when I’ve done that for clients who want the works, it creates smaller file sizes than a post-send stereo bounce.

The stock TD27 preset doesn’t give you the full functionality of the VH14 – the bell articulations are the main thing missing and you have to go to the TD50x preset to get it working correctly. While the workaround is fine I agree it would be nice to be able to just use the TD27 preset.

Can confirm. The velocity was set very low but when bounced out it sounds like they’re being hit with a sledgehammer. Not exactly the subtle effect I was going for 😂 It’s hit and miss though.
I haven’t had a chance to play around with it much as most of last night was spent downloading and installing it! 160GB! apologies to anyone in Philly who wanted Internet last night 🙂
So far I can see this getting a lot of use. There’s a big difference between the kits (more so than the last SDX) so finding a sound isn’t going to be difficult but the seller for me is the percussion library. I’ve always liked being able to add percussion to tracks from the same “room” to keep things organic and this is a little more than just a few shakers and tambourines. Kit highlights for me are the main DW kit but the star is the Gretsch… that absolutely sings. All IMO 🙂
