With superior drummer 3 A newly-designed user interface and an improved work flow. The software instrument of Toontrack in version 3 with some of improvements and new features. So I’m all for loading up on libraries and playing around with layers.'Toontrack superior drummer 3 includes as a complete drum production studio all functions, as well as a comprehensive drum sample library for use amtlich sounding drum arrangments in the DAW come true. The huge expense is up front in buying the right pads/triggers, modules, and interfaces, but then you get the benefit of being able to play so many different kits at the click of a button. Maybe it’s just me, but that’s just how I see it. So it’s a bargain even if you only feel like there’s one cymbal you’d use out of the library. The way I look at it, $130 is WAY less than I’d spend on a single cymbal at the local Sam Ash, Guitar Center, etc.

I also use a China/Crash stack from Progressive Foundry, a couple of splashes from the core libraries, stacked toms from the core and Rock Foundry libraries, etc, etc. My snare is usually rotating and I’ve found some great mixes with various black beauties, Tama bell brass, and black panther snares as well as a few really cool eclectic snares across different libraries. For example the Rock Foundry’s Yamaha PHX kick drum combined with the Tama Bubinga kick in Metal Machinery is my absolute go-to bass drum. 27! That’s insane detail and it absolutely stands out against some of the legacy hi-hat sample libraries that have been around for a while.įor me, I stack just about every drum and a few of my cymbals and find that you can blend some really nice snares and kicks using different libraries.

Just as an example, the D&D hi-hats have 27 articulations.

Completely agree that with Decades and D&D, you get some incredible articulation response and that the kits as a result are very versatile.
