The point I am making in your quest for the right drum sounds is that although EZ Drummer, Superior, and Addictive and more I am sure have great beats and sounds in them and are a necessity if you are going to produce top quality drum sounds without buying all of the gear is that none of those pre-played patterns are going to be exactly what you heard in your head with your song. (He starts really getting into it around frame number #340.)Ĭompare it to Roland's presentation of their 30V Flagship model played by Simon from Roland. Here is a video of someone playing the Alesis DM6 kit using Addictive drums. (From what I have seen on the You Tube videos, see below) The DM6 becomes a MIDI trigger only. With Superior Drummer you have the best sounds, even better than those that come with the 5 grand Roland electronic drums. I already have an expensive interface with quality Pre's, and quality AD/DA converters etc so why buy that stuff all over again, and limit my drum tracks to the sounds that comes with an inexpensive set. So with this combination you get the best of both worlds.
It is the number one selling set of electronic drums bar none on Amazon. So I just bought the Alesis DM6 USB Electronic Drum set complete with everything but the stool for only $368 on Amazon, which is selling for $499 everywhere. Pre-played drum patterns are nice but are never exactly what you are hearing in your head. So I just bought the New York Studios Vol.3 SDX for only $89 that normally sells for $179.Īddictive Drummer selling at their usual price now is $149 and Superior Drummer usually selling for $249 is now only $179 only 30 more dollars than Addictive. It usually only happens once per year and the time is now until the end of July. Right now Toontrack, maker of both is running a sale on Superior Drummer. Superior Drummer is better but costs more.

SSD5Free - free version of Steve Slate Drums comes with just one kit, but it’s a full blown, industrial strength drum module with gigabytes of samples, multiple mics, full routing options, etc.ĭrumMic’a - made by Sennheiser to demonstrate their mics, it’s another single kit that’s sampled to death with Sennheiser’s arsenal of mics (big library), and you have complete control over mixing them.EZ Drummer is great for the money. It’s a great sounding kit, but has some room noise you can’t dial out and has no routing options, just one stereo out. Spitefire LAB drums - this is around 400MB, but has a much wider range of sampled dynamics than MTPD and is not processed. But if you want to replicate the feel of a good acoustic drummer, especially with dynamic playing, you’re going to need a deeper, less pre-processed sample set.įortunately free alternatives exists, with the caveat that they’re much bigger, ranging from hundreds of megabytes to a dozen gigabytes. It’s pretty heavily processed and lacking in dynamics, but good for sketching out ideas and might be all you need for power pop or rock stuff, where hammering on a kit makes sense. MTPD’s biggest strength is that it’s around 50MB. “MT Power Drumkit 2 - acoustic drums, best free drum VST” Also, for all the hip hop producers out there, don’t my article highlighting my five favorite drum machine VSTs.
