I would love it if I could purchase individual kits or single pieces. I want a cymbal or two from an EZX and a kit from another but I don’t necessarily want the entire package. It would also be great to be able to sample said kits or pieces before I buy them.  

I’m wondering, what would be a fair price for individual kit pieces?

[Scott Eshleman]

Have you looked closely at any of these expansions?

1. Do I need the library to run SD3? Because it is taking almost 50GB of space from my hard drive.

No. I have ALL of my SuperiorDrummer (2 & 3) libraries installed on & pointed to an external drive.
The SD2, SD3 & EZDrummer plugins along with my EZDrummer libraries are on my internal system drive.
When the external drive is not connected, I can still run SD3 with my EZDrummer libraries.

3 When I am using SD3 on mac it shuts down every 20 minutes. I have to unplug and replug the Midi-cable to my MacBook Pro or Turn off and turn back on the drum module.  

What shuts down every 20 minutes? your Mac? SD3? your drum module?
Please provide more details, including your Mac OS, hardware, drum module, etc.
I’ve not read or heard of any SD3-related issue like this…

Are you referring to the “Keys & Strings MIDI pack”? ( https://www.toontrack.com/product/keys-strings-ezkeys-midi/ )

if so, there are NO sounds included at all.
It is MIDI. MIDI is event data that instructs a software (virtual) instrument or hardware instrument what to play, how, when and for how long.

As noted on its product description page,
this MIDI pack includes MIDI containing parts that are complementary to 2 separate virtual instruments.
The MIDI designated for the string parts could be played by a virtual instrument
like the Mellotoon or String Machine Toontrack sound libraries
while the MIDI designated for the keyboard parts could be played by a virtual instrument like any Toontrack sound library.

the [SEARCH] function in the SD3 turned up quite a few references to using & defining ‘swing’

You’re going to be moving the ‘SL-XXXXXXXX’ folder for the library in question.
Once moved;
In SuperiorDrummer3’s Settings Menu select Libraries.
Click the ‘Browse for Library Paths’ button
and then navigate to the ‘SL-XXXXXXXX’ folder for the selected library at its new location.

Tip: zoom in to enable a finer grid for precision cutting or trimming MIDI blocks in the SongTrack

Why u buy packs?U can find free sample packs.For example at these sites :
https://cymatics.fm/blog/free-sample-packs/
http://free-sample-packs.com/
https://www.lucidsamples.com/14-free-sample-packs
https://hiphopmakers.com/free-sample-packs-free-music-samples
https://freesound.org/  

Cool….if OP was asking for sample packs.
I think it states that they’re shopping for MIDI grooves.

Can you please provide some details about your computer hardware, operating system, etc?
In the Toontrack Product Manager’s Preferences/Settings,
can you access the folder specified for Toontrack downloads?
Is there enough free space for the entire download?

Once upon a time I believe that when a customer registered their product,
they were automatically granted access to that product’s support forum. (if it wasn’t automatic, there was a very fast turnaround)

That said, if you are not a registered owner of SD3,
you’ll probably want to search/read the threads and post your questions in the SD3 Pre-Sales forum.

If you are a registered owner of SD3, please contact Toontrack Support directly by going to the FAQ
and click the ‘Contact Support’ button at the bottom of each FAQ page to request access to the SD3 Support Forum:

There is a “Print or Save as PDF…” link in the sidebar of the SD3 online manual:

There’s almost no way to know what went wrong (if anything) without any discussion of the steps that you took before,
durung or after you “started to record in Logic X”. You’ve asked a very broad-spectrum general question.

Did you record-enable the tracks in Logic?
Did you record-enable the song-tracks in EZDrummer2 and/or EZKeys?

My other issue is the size of the program. 230 Gigs. My main DAW computer sports a 500 gig SSD drive and my edrum laptop that i use to play and record my edrums only has a 250gig SSD. I see there is an option to buy the program or sound library (???) on an SSD for an extra $200. Can i use this as an external HD to go back and forth between my PC and laptop? I currently have and need SD2 on both and would want the same setup if i upgrade.
Any previous SD2 users who upgraded to 3 want to share their experience? Is it worth it to upgrade given my situation?
Thanks alot!  

I can’t speak to your questions about e-drums, but regarding the optional SSD,
it CAN be used as an external HD to go back and forth between your PC and laptop.

And as far as the 230GB SD3 sound library, you do not have to install the entire 230GB.
The library is constructed in such a way that you can download & install it in increments.
I believe that there are a few other threads that address some of these particulars…
