  • A killer selection of legendary kits played by a session drumming industry giant

Superior Drummer makes adding realistic drums to your music easy
What gives Superior Drummer 2.0 its amazing reputation is Toontrack's understand of the way that users approach drum programming. Nothing bogs down a composer's or musician's creative process as much as distractions like having to find the right sounds or tweak the playback engine to get a useful kit. If the instrument sounds like it should from the beginning, then it's much easier to start writing music. Superior Drummer makes it easy to get started by providing you with both great sounding kits, but also the freedom to let it provide great drum playing while you work on the rest of the song. If you like to get into the guts of the engine and customize your tones or start from scratch and build your tones and drum lines from the ground up, that's no problem at all — but you don't have to get that detailed. If you simply want to adjust a few things or even leave the automated performance alone all together and just commit it to audio, Superior Drummer can do that too with no hassle whatsoever. And Superior Drummer is loaded with effects and other options that let you express yourself in many other ways.

Superior Drummer's standard lineup of world-class drummers and their kits
At the request of Pat Thrall (Glenn Hughs, Black Crowes, Beyonce), the original sounds in Superior Drummer 2.0 were recorded in 2005 at the soon-to-be-closing Hit Factory studio in New York. For the session, Pat invited experienced producer and engineer, Neil Dorfsman (Kiss, Bruce Springsteen, Dire Straits, Sting), who, in turn, brought along renowned live and session drummer Nir Z whose credits include acts such as Joss Stone, Genesis, and Chris Cornell. Nir Z brought along his GMS drums, and Pat, Neil, and the Toontrack production team went to work! The result is the amazing collection of great kits played by famous drummer that comes standard with Toontrack's Superior Drummer 2.0.

A killer selection of legendary kits played by a session drumming industry giant
To expand Superior Drummer 2.0's great collection of drums and drummer's performances with the Custom & Vintage SDX, Toontrack hired Chris Whitten — known for his work on Paul McCartney's Flowers In The Dirt album and subsequent record breaking World tour, and Dire Straits 18 month On Every Street tour among many others. The content was recorded at 2Khz studio in London using an EMI TG Desk used for many legendary recordings of the early seventies including The Beatles' Abbey Road and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. The Custom & Vintage SDX features extensive stick and brush recordings of a unique collection of drums and cymbals.

Holy Cow!

This is an awesome deal. I am a little miffed that I bought these two products separately (though I did get Superior 2 as an upgrade from EZ Drummer, which was also a good deal). I highly recommend th... read more [+]is for midi/sample based drums. You can dial in each piece of the kit to perfection, adjust the room and ambiance levels to get just what you want. I use to use BFD and this has replaced it because it is easier to use, sounds just as good, and I really like ToonTrack's customer service and upgrade policies.

Superior 2 includes a great set of sampled drumkits that I use a lot. But this bundle includes the Custom and Vintage expansion, which sounds awesome .... get on the ToonTrack site to hear samples. These sounds are especially useful for pop and rock recordings. They are quite dry and crisp, but you can dial in more room if you need it. The brush samples sound great, too. I wish there was a larger selection of midi files (there are none for brushes!!), but the files provided fit the sound of the kits perfectly, and they are adequate.

If you are looking for great sounding drums, look no further. close [-]
