So currently I have Native Instruments Studio Drummer which is my go to plugin. It sounds good, really really good but I've always thought the cymbals were the weak point. It's also perhaps not best suited to heavy music which is perhaps illustrated by all the samples on their website.
I also have Addictive Drums which I only use for it's loop library as I hate it's compressor and I've never heard a demo or preset that sound close to what I like.
I own 60s, a 70s,80s, and modern Drummer plugins by Native Intruments. I use 60s for my acoustic tunes and it's suits that perfectly.
I also have Steven State Drums 3.5 along with Steven Slate Drums 4.0
3.5 is a obviously just bare bones Kontakt samples while I find the actual plugin aspects of SSD 4 extremely disappointing and verging on amateur, also the cymbals are disappointing. SSD has THE best kick drums though.
Just recently though, I have downloaded the demo of Ezdrummer and have found it to be very promising so i'm looking at Superior Drummer and perhaps the Progressive add-on SDX.
The thing that turned me on was how well it slotted into the mix if I can even call it that. It seemed even sounding and the UI was pretty simple.
I suppose my question (if there is one) is what are you guys using and what do you recommend.Do I have anything to gain from dumping a bunch of money on Superior Drummer and making that my goto plugin in terms of UI, Sounds, loops all in one place rather than the hodgepodge of things I have going on right now.
