Here is some cuts and yelping on my glass and some purs/cuts on my slate. Please feel free to critique as much as possible, trust me you wont hurt my feelings. I want to have these two sounding perfect but have no one to listen.

The first one sounds good.....I don't care much for the second one.
I agree with Mr. Cox. The 1st one, glass call has a nice high front, solid roll-over and good rasp...no doubt it can get raspier if you wanted to. The slate sound a bit weak, but that could just be the way you were running it. For your puurs, try standing your striker a little more up right and hold a little higher on the striker, it deadens the sound and the purrs sound better
great, ill give that a try, really want to get those purrs sounding better. anyone else?
The glass call sounded good. Be careful you don't repeat every sequence the same. Turkeys don't know they are making 8 yelps and 3 clucks. Put a little more feeling in the call to make it come to life. The slate was a little weak. You will notice on a dual pot call that there isn't much playing surface on the underside. I would just use that side to cluck and maybe a little purr. When purring the center of the call is going to sound a little hollow. I would use the outer 1/3 of the call to purr and use your leg and hand to make a sound chamber. That will make the purr come to life and be more realistic sounding. Hope this helps.
