MartProfessionally speaking, I’ve everything I need in SD3 – I’m my own humanize button, and I’ve no need for the bandmate feature. However, they’re still getting new libraries (including a new one later this month), and the Padgham one was jaw-droppingly good, so it’s not been let to hang in any shape or form. So be patient and enjoy both for the time being. Toontrack rarely announces things this far out, so their business methods shouldn’t be surprising at this point.

Thanked by: Gary StiltnerMartWorking fine for me in Logic and Pro Tools as well as standalone.

Thanked by: Headplay, Mick H and pumpkinkingMartThat explains a lot. I always thought the china in Music City sounded “off”, and now it makes sense.
MartTake a close look at the image posted. The elements are greyed out, but octobans and a gong drum are in there!
MartFor what it’s worth Music City gets a lot of use here, but my only concern would be that there might be some overlap with this new set (contemporary clean-sounding kits if they’re going the Sting/Vinnie route on a kit). Either way it’s a nice dilemma to have!

Thanked by: Bear-Faced Cow and WhagiMartYep, I’m all over this. The two examples on the site are really impressive, especially “THAT” sound.

Thanked by: WhagiMart^ also, make sure the bell articulations are turned on for the hats. Most of the libraries have them disabled by default.

Thanked by: Anthony CarpenterMartNot sure if it’s been mentioned by I’ve had better luck using the TD50x preset on my TD27. It certainly works better and brings the bell trigger into play. I had to play around with the mapping to get it working for the whole kit but it’s workaround until a fix could be brought in. Also, just for the record I tried the TD50x preset in EZD3 and the playing experience appears to be better than SD3 right now – the hi-hat seemed smoother or maybe it was just wishful thinking? give it a try.
MartI don’t have any recommendations but you can absolutely load up EZX libraries within SD3.
MartI’ve no experience with the Efnote but I do own the TD27 and can highly recommend it. I’ve been using it for over a year for remote sessions hand-in-hand with SD3 and it’s worked flawlessly. Obviously, there’s some dialing in to do and settings to tweak but once I was over that bump it’s been a great setup.

Thanked by: Cheuvart GeoffreyMartThe kits shown in the screenshots aren’t present in the SDX so they’re new. I know I’m going to be wanting a Hansa 2 SDX after hearing the new stuff – the original really is the Swiss Army knife of drum libraries.
MartIs the EZdrummer 3 sound library extracted from The Rooms of Hansa SDX? Having SD3, might be worth the cat for the EZ3 sound library, but if you already own The Rooms of Hansa SDX (as I do) it makes almost no sense to upgrade, I think.
Taking a look at the screenshots they’re kits not in the SDX so these are new recordings.
MartGood points from both. I didn’t even think about the eDrum aspect of it.
Spooky that the Gretsch kit on the webpage seems very much like Taylor’s setup.
MartIs anyone else concerned about the future of SD after today’s announcement? A few of Superior’s killer features (MIDI editor being the standout) have made the jump over so I’m not sure what SD4 can bring to the table. I guess we’ll see. Excited to be getting some more Hansa drums for the library!
