Probably too late, but I stumbled on this thread and figured I should answer.

#1 Why is it called a ‘spock’ and not a ‘stack’?

Probably because in Toontrack drum software a stack is when you join two instruments together. For example in Superior Drummer you can layer a kick drum with another kick drum, which is called a ‘stack’, so to avoid confusion with cymbal stacks, they named those into spocks, I guess.

#2 why does it look like one cymbal, if it’s two?

Well, if you put a 19 inch china, on top of a 16 inch cymbal, you will only see the china on top, because it’s bigger and covers the bottom cymbal 😉
This is inconsistent though, some cymbals where the top one is bigger look like this and others do not, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks for the heads up, that’s actually a really impressive library!
Though a bit too much for my needs – an EZX or maybe 8dio’s solo taikos would do it for me 🙂

“”Content from the S2.0 Producer Presets Line can be opened in Superior Drummer 3 but is discontinued and no longer supported””
Oh.

Well still hoping it comes back in some form because I do love that Koloss snare.
Hey since you’re getting all those Bob Rocks and Andy Sneaps to make presets, will there be a Bergstrand one? Hope so!

Hmm. Thanks for pointing out those options, Olle.
I however, over the weekend, managed to find a third solution:

Basically I figured out that that the drumkit mics and x-drum mics are separate, even if it’s the same EZX.
So (since I wasn’t using any Metal Machine cymbals) I recreated the Metal Machine kit in the DfH EZX and then I x-drummed in the couple of DFH cymbals that bothered me. I also found a chine in MM that was a satisfying replacement for the Avatar china, so I could freely pan the two Avatar cymbals.

In case this sounds confusing, I’ve attached an illustration; the result is a bit messy, but the drumkit is now 90% as before and with added panning options ^^

In case you guys ever get around to making SD3, you should implement a function where you can start out with just the wooden floor and assemble a drumkit from scratch using X-drums so you can really customise it. It’s my only functionality complaint in what is so far an amazing piece of software!
Maybe even add some different carpet backgrounds you can swap 😛 just my humble GUI designer opinion ;D

Yes. You can download them anytime as long as they are registered to your account.  

Ah, so it’s like Steam (the video game distribution platform), neat.
Thanks!
