Attribution and marking
Attribution reasonable to means, medium, and context

In 4.0, the manner of attribution is explicitly allowed to be reasonable to the means, medium, and context of how one shares a work.

In the 1.0, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 licenses, attribution may be reasonable to the medium or means, and applied to all elements other than certain notices where the requirement is firm. In 4.0, this explicit permission applies to the medium, means, and context of use. We believe this to be a clarification rather than a change: attribution reasonable to the means, medium, and context of use should be permissible for works under any CC license. Additionally, the pre-4.0 licenses specified that credit in adaptations and collections should be at least as prominent as credits for other authors; 4.0 is not specific in this regard.

The only thing I ask: if you want to donate any money for the kit, donate it to the person who recorded the samples of his drum kit (his website donation link is included in the readme document).

It is also licensed with https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ which requires attribution, so it has this very same problem.

Does it have multiple velocity layers?

I was trying to at least have him credited if people redistributed the drumkit. But if this makes people question whether they can use it creatively, it's not worth the hassle explaining this again.

Attribution requirement as per January 2021: When used in compositions, attribution must be made in the album credits (or similar album liner notes) as “Drum samples provided by DrumGizmo.org”. In cases where album credits (or similar album liner notes) aren't available it can be left out completely.

So now we have two drumkits which are available for my music. Thanks, I will also inform other people who have complained same problem!
