From Our Research Team:

Huge Drum Sounds, Not-so-huge Price!

Imagine having 25 of the world's best sounding drum kits at your disposal. From punchy tight rock kits, to fat and sizzly vintage kits, and just about everything in between, Steven Slate Drums 4.0 EX takes some of the most essential kits straight from the Platinum collection, and offers them to you at an extremely low price.

Steven Slate Drums 4.0 EX at a Glance:
  • Powerful, intuitive drum sampler offers flexibility and ease of use
  • New Deluxe series kits in Rock, Metal, Vintage, Indie, and Funk styles
  • "Mix Ready" kits including the famous "Old Zep" kit
  • Brand new cymbal pack
  • New Urban/Dance/House/Electro kit


At the heart of Steven Slate Drums 4.0 is the SSD Player, a state of the art Mac/PC (VST, RTAS, AU) Drum Sampler built from the ground up by the award winning development team behind our TRIGGER drum replacement processor. The SSD Player is extremely easy and intuitive to use. Loading kits, customizing kits, mixing kits, loading and auditioning MIDI grooves, customizing MIDI maps, and routing discretely to your workstation are all a breeze with the SSD Player. It even lets you load your own drum samples to mix in with the Slate drum kits.

New in 4.0 are the DELUXE series kits, which were recorded with extreme precision, resulting in a remarkably natural playability. In SSD4 EX, you'll find Rock, Metal, Vintage, Indie, and Funk Deluxe drum kits.

SSD4 EX also brings back the classic Slate "Mix Ready" kits, but all reprogrammed for better sound, response, and realism. Included in these classic kits is the famous "Old Zep" kit, a drum kit recorded in a stone castle that models the classic Led Zeppelin sound.

SSD4 brings a brand new cymbal pack from Soultone Cymbals. These custom Turkish cymbals are some of the best sounding in the world! From the dark VINTAGE series to the bright and shimmery EXTREME series, these cymbals give the drum kits the ultimate brass accompaniment!

SSD4 EX also has one new Dance genre kit designed by producer Griffin Boice. This kit was processed with boutique analog gear to provide the fat radio ready sound you'll want for your dance mixes!

This product was recommended to my by a close friend, and he was right. The drums sounds are absolutely phenomenal. I contacted Steven Slate Drums the next day after receiving this to see if there was... read more [+] an upgrade path so I could get the Platinum. If I had known how sweet these would be I would have bought the Platinum straight off. Highly recommend - but get Platinum if you can afford. You won't be sorry. close [-]

Once I figured out that I needed a newer DAW than what I had (just some free thing that came with my Line 6 interface) I found this program to be absolutely awesome!!!! Download took a little bit on m... read more [+]y 3mbs ISP but once I got to start playing with it I was absolutely blown away. You literally cannot tell these aren't real drums. There are so many variations with the supplied grooves you can make it sound like you had a drummer there with you. The Old Zep kit alone is worth this purchase but the other 24 sets sound just as amazing!!! I was a bit sceptical of this purchase at first but the need for a drum program drove me to it. Glad I got it!! close [-]
