Personally I think this might be a waste of time, although I have a few thoughts to contribute.
One way to get a good sense of how many monsters you killed at a training session, especially in places where you killed mix spawns such as Skeles, is to collect all the etc. items and count them up at the end. Since monsters drop their etc. items at a reliable rate, we can use this number to estimate how many kills we've made during a particular training session.
If we find an item, great! If not, then move on. To get an accurate picture of a rare item drop would require massive amounts of kills. You could probably achieve this with stuff such as ores and whatnot, but with equips and scrolls, hell no. You seem to understand this though =P
Oh yeah, at one point I was taking boss drop statistics. The only data of good promise is the one from Papulatus. Papulatus, on average, drops an equipment every kill, and drops a skill book every 6 kills. There may or may not have been a slight bias in the equipment drop rates, but I do suspect that it likes to drop Red Kattes.
I've included a log of the drops. No date has been assigned, although it began a few patches before Pirates, and ended a patch or two after Pirates.
