At 49:30, Thijs opens the pack to select a snare, a drumfill, a bass shot and some FX. He even praises this and dubstep packs in general because, according to him, "the dubstep pack(s) sound designers pay a lot more attention to detail when it comes to snares and kicks, because that's really important in the genre".
