Note that only the sample maps (mapping names to URLs) are loaded initially, while the audio samples themselves are not loaded until they are actually played.
This behaviour of loading things only when they are needed is also called `lazy loading`.

If we open the `sounds` tab again, followed by tab `drum machines`, there is also a number behind each name, indicating how many individual samples are available.
For example `RolandTR909_hh(4)` means there are 4 samples of a TR909 hihat available.
