The SD3 cross-grade (from EZ Drummer) and Rock Foundry seem to be much cheaper from bestservice.com compared to all the other prices I could find.
Does anybody have any experience with bestservice, good or bad?

The SD3 cross-grade (from EZ Drummer) is about $299 from everybody except its $239 from bestservice.com The Rock Foundry is about $149 from everybody except its $133 from bestservice.com That's a total of about $76 savings, which converts to about $17,856.35 Canadian, more or less. Does anybody have any experience with bestservice, good or bad? Yep, they’re real. That’s who I just bought my SD2 to SD3 upgrade from! No problems at all. And I’m in the US, FWIW. |

OK just a bit of friendly advice when discussing deals like this that might be about a dealer post prices below the MAP price, NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER POST THE PRICE if you like getting a deal !
If a manufacturer has proof of this practice or that makes them look at the dealers site ( another dealer contacting them about a discussion discussing a dealer in violation of MAP) will either end in the deal ending or the line being pulled from that dealer!
First rule of specific great deals we don’t talk specific’s of great deals!
Or we end up with more restrictive dealer agreements and all the deals go bye bye!

I've gotten some really great deals from BestService. Emotional Cello and the Chris Hein libraries are ridiculously good.

Cool, thanks for the heads up. I've been looking for a good price on the Rock Foundry and when I added it to my cart I got a choice for a free complementary plugin.

FYI to Superior Drummer users. BestService has Custom 6 midi bundles on sale for about $66. That's a great deal and about half the price I'm seeing it elsewhere. |

And was the coupon for any plug or did they gift you some specific one? Yes, check it out, it is the Rock Foundry SDX, best price I've seen. Once I put it in my cart they gave me a selection of several plugs to choose from. One was a version of the BX20. Not sure if it is any good, but it was complementary. I have not pulled the trigger yet, but really want the Bob Rock Rock Foundry. |

The 6 choices are: R-880 LEX 300 LEX 224XL EMT 240 EMT 250 AKG BX 20 |

I got the SD3 cross-grade with the same coupon, you get it for any purchase over $99. If I order The Rock Foundry, I'll get a second free plugin, a choice of the same six convolution reverbs.

Awesome. Thanks. Whose reverbs are these? Like what plugin developer?
Edit: just Googled it. Looks like their own, in-house plug. Probably code they licensed from someone else I would think?

Peter Roos says they are a poor quality ripoff of his Samplicity IRs. I have no idea if this is true. There is also a free version which has two presets from each of their 13 reverb models: www.bestservice.com/halls_of_fame_3_free.htmlThe complete version with over 3000 presets is $169. |

I find this so funny, think of the people who could argue his IR’s of their work. |
