It’s that exciting time of year again where all the clicky metal drums go on sale and none of the good ones do even if they’ve been out for years. Woohooo.

This made me wonder, can someone sell Superior Drummer 3? I'd like to buy it but hesitate at the cost.

Ok, so here I was this morning minding my own business. I am casually reading this thread because I am casually interested in EZdrummer 2 since I don’t need all the hoopla that goes with Superior Drummer 3. I check out Best Services and wow, what a deal they are having on the things I am interested in. I can get Ezdrummer 2 and 8, yes 8 EZX expansions for $321.05. I don’t know whether to to thank you or hate you because Real Gear Online is not helping me refrain from spending money.

Damn. You guys weren't kidding re: Best Service. Ok screw Toontrack and their non-sales. This is the spot. UK Pop and Custom Shop are both like $55.

Won't get to use any of it much before the quarter ends though.

I'm still not buying SD3 due to their one time ultimatum. They won't even allow me to read any of the SD3 forum threads. I'll bet I've spent $700.00 on their software. It's bizarre.

I'm wondering if I should buy the UK Pop library too. Are you liking it? Just got to briefly mess with it but yeah, I'll use the hell out of it. It's not a very big expansion, but I kinda like that actually. It's basically 2-3 kits that I'll use. Sort of sounds like what I wish the Indiependent dry Gretsch kit sounded like. Lovely tone, big punch.

I still just marvel at this platform. I track a performance with incredible ease and then sit there and pick which room/gear/player I want the tones to come from. Friggin' wild.

I really really like the overall size and profile of the drums. Some of the best I've heard as far as where they sit and what space they take up.

Just the other day, I was thinking for the billionth time about getting a cheap set of e drums and buying Superior.... In the past I have owned Superior Drums, EZ drummer and 4670 expansion packs, which I sold most, and gave Martin Butler my copy of EZdrummer 2. I couldnt believe that even when I logged into Toontrack, under my existing account, it would not let me read the forum, as I don't currently own a product !!!!! Un f(*#&%^(ing believable. I can honestly say, had I at that time received the answer I was looking for, I would most likely have bought the software.... that mood has passed, and I can't believe their attitude. Cheers Wiz

I was wondering if they captured an IR of that room and were letting you send tracks to it, which would have greatly surprised me. Gonna buy it. It's friggin' $33 at Best Service.

Let me know how you think they compare to the UK pop...honestly, I have so many EZX's and SDX's now, I can't believe there's not a snare or kick somewhere that would cover the base I need.
