If you want to map something, you have to go into Kontakt's interface and mod with velocity layers and create your own layouts (which is slightly worse than the mappings of today in various VSTs). It uses Kontakt, so right there the problems start. It is playable on today's e-kit, but is immensely obsolete. No one knew what drums had been put together but it sounded (and sounds) damn good. Ocean Way Drums: Creme de la creme back in the days. If I had not had access to SD3, AD and BFD3, I might consider GGD on a cloudy Sunday.

Their 'One Hit Wonder' series as well, with the exception that this series has even fewer tweaking capabilities. However, I have changed a bit after 'Invasion' which I actually like. No flexibility in dynamics or touch, but fully focused on preprocessed 'metal'. Then I quit and swore I would never use it again. GGD: I tried their first expansion on a high end e-kit for half an hour. Not so fun to play on an e-kit, but with som modification it is possible to get a good track, depending on which expansion you like. Main disadvantage is that they run through Kontakt, which is a PITA in and of itself. Native Instruments (Abbey Road 50/60/70/80 / Modern / Studio): If you have nothing else, this is a good compromise. I do not even know if I have it installed anymore.

Especially when it comes to intricate hihat-playing and dynamic stuff. Works relatively well for 'rock' and the surrounding area, but if you are behind an e-kit, the weaknesses become painfully obvious. Steven Slate Drums: The Emperor of Processed Samples. But many on various forums still prefer BFD3 instead of SD3 after testing both. In addition, their layering is not the best as you can easily achieve the machine gun effect with really fast doubles in 32nds. BFD3 is actually also grotesquely good, but has very uninspiring and unintuitive interface. Then they (TT) released SD3 and now it is no longer a competition. It 'feels' compressed, for lack of a better description.īFD3: Was for a long time the main competitor to TT's SD. Noticeable especially in the decay time for cymbals. However, the difference is gigantic compared to the Superior Drummer (3). A bunch of grooves for those who do not really play. The dynamic and playable range is gigantic (mainly after SD3), which maybe installation files with a size of +100 GB are showing.Īddictive Drums: Takes up considerably less space and is easily playable out of the box. Intuitive, easy on the eyes, huge possibilities regarding routing, mapping and modding, and thus also the ability to shape the sound however you want. Even though I have every expansion (also the unofficial ones). Mainly the later expansions 'Death' (YRC/9000 kit) and 'Rooms of Hansa' (Masshoff). Also what ends up on commercial releases. Superior Drummer 3 is the only one I have been using for a number of years now.
