I'm pretty sure all of the drum sounds were factory loaded in the HD-1 sampled sounds, but I could be wrong. The Korguser.net site lists these as the major features of the 1.3 upgrade:

"The new EXi MOD-7 Waveshaping VPM synthesizer takes a classic form of synthesis into new and uncharted territories, combining Variable Phase Modulation (VPM), waveshaping, ring modulation, PCM sample playback, and subtractive synthesis in a patchable, semi-modular synthesizer. A demo version is included in OASYS system version 1.3.

KARMA 2.1 adds support for User GEs, selectable quantization for scene changes and module triggering, improved note mapping, and many other new functions .

The optional new EXs3 Brass & Woodwinds Expansion Sample Library, available separately, provides over 700 Mbytes of expressive, natural-sounding brass and woodwind instruments.
EXs expansion sample sets can now be loaded and unloaded immediately, without restarting the OASYS.

User Sampling RAM capacity has been expanded when using the EXs1 and EXs2 PCM data, thanks to a new lossless compression technique. "

It's always possible that you heard something that was affected by Mod-7 since it can play with HD-1 pcm samples. Maybe you should go back to gtc and look at what's in play if you can remember how to play the same sounds again.
