It’s interesting what you write about “phasery” vibe, since the hihats do give me a mp3 compression vibe at times (and I guess we mean the same) … At least they are a thousand times better than Alloy/Metal from Syntakt/Cycles 
They can sound quite nice and have a lot variety, but yes … “still not enough” … maybe even not as good as Machinedrum’s [which I do own as well].
Otherwise, I really do like the kicks, acoustic snares etc., the complete package of the Nord Drum 3, the distortion per instrument, the effects and the EQ …
Edit: Here’s a compilation of my first seven Nord Drum 3p (solo) tries, which are also my first Oxi and Hapax tries, so there’s no musical earthquakes to expect, but some sounds I made from scratch, or modified in the process, and liked … there’s a lot more hidden in this machine …
