That depends on how the library was recorded. I know the core library has the options of sticks/rods/brushes on some kit pieces. All Death & Darkness and Area 33 have are sticks. Right click on a kit piece and it should tell you if that option is available and it’s on a per kit piece basis and not for the whole kit.

In addition to Jack’s post, kit pieces, using rods would be separate than those using sticks. To switch between sticks and rods, you would either need to load those kit pieces additionally, within your preset, thus requiring different, MIDI notes, or you would have to load a separate instance of Superior Drummer with your kit pieces containing rods, if you want to simply switch between the two without changing MIDI notes.

Oh? I can right click on say the snare in a core library and switch from sticks to rods but the MIDI note assignment stays the same. Snare center for example is still D1 in the MIDI in/edrums page. Now if you want to be able to switch on the fly then yeah you’d need a separate kit piece but not if you want to use rods full time.

Exactly! You’re now using the snare with rods and not sticks. They are considered separate kit pieces. It would be no different if you had changed to a different brand snare.

But if I want to use rods full time I don’t need to load another kit piece. Just change to rods and move on with it. You’re saying otherwise right?
