Bokeman,
Perhaps the following detail may be useful?
Here is a link to a post to the Mandala Drum Group regarding "adding
sounds" to your Mandala Drum library by the inventor of the Mandala
Drum, Vince De Franco:
http://groups.google.com.au/group/mandaladrums/browse_thread/thread/1709179223fda088/409480bcfeb82d20?lnk=gst&q=vincedefranco#409480bcfeb82d20
In my experience, searching Vince De Franco's posts to the Mandala
Drum group is particularly useful in improving my understanding of the
Virtual Brain software, and the Mandala Drum's capabilities as a
trigger MIDI device.
Additionally:
Following detail excerpted from the Owners Manual for the Mandala Drum
v2.0
page 17 - Menu Bar Options
ADD CUSTOM SOUNDS... You guessed it. Scroll here to add sounds from
other sources to your Mandala’s sample library. The program accepts
WAV, AIFF and SDII files.
page 18 -
To add custom sounds to the Virtual Brain library:
First, on your system...
Mac: Copy or move the samples you want to add into the UserSounds
folder located in the same folder as you Mandala Virtual Brain
application.
PC: Copy or move the samples you want to add into the UserSounds
folder located in the same folder as you Mandala Virtual Brain
application.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The names of your audio files should not be broken up
into several words like 'big horn sample.wav'. They should contain no
spaces, like 'bighornsample.wav' or 'big_horn_sample.wav'.
Now in the VB program choose ‘Add Custom Sounds’ from the File menu.
A small window will appear which allows you to choose a user menu
location for your new sound. Once you choose a location a standard
dialog box will appear.
In the dialog box please navigate to the UserSounds folder where you
earlier copied or moved your samples and choose the sounds you want to
add.
Now you have added your sound and it will be visible as a choice in
the Instrument pull down menu of every zone of every pad!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please make sure to toggle the radio button next to
the Instrument list so the program knows you want to see the User
Instrument list as opposed to the Program Instrument list.
IMPORT PRESET COLLECTION... Load up a different set of presets, maybe
some that have been posted on the web or that another Mandala player
has sent you. Preset lists are exported and imported as xml files.
page 19 -
EXPORT PRESET COLLECTION... You can save your entire preset list to a
file that can be called up when needed. You can then do things like
email a preset list to someone else, enabling them to play your custom-
made presets when they choose the ‘Import Preset’ option.

There are a lot of free, really well recorded samples on internet. It's easy to merge them using the easiest wave editor.
Cheers,

Hi all, I have put together some custom WAV samples on Lulu.com, which
can be downloaded for a small fee. Lately Ive been trying to emulate
acoustic kits on my Mandala, and since it isnt possible to perfectly
trigger two sounds at once, I created single-hit samples of cymbals
and kick, as if played simultaneously.
Currently I have uploaded two crashes and one china, and there are
more to add if people enjoy them:
