Can I produce studio quality drumtracks with SD3?

[Sean McCann]

Let’s say I mastered SD3, my DAW, and my TD27KVX. Can I achieve professional studio album quality drums? Will there be a difference that’s perceptible to the human ear?

More specifically, I’m wanting to recreate the vintage 60’s Ludwig kit sound (Tame Impala and Pond are good modern examples of this sound). I’m pretty sure I need one of the expansions for that, but just wondering how realistic it’d be.

Yes, if you have truly understood the differences between sampling and real drums.

Luke Oswald is a long-time collaborator and did a streaming series with us for Superior September where he showcased the possibilities of e-drumming with SD3. I’m sure his videos will help you get an appreciation of what is achievable. https://www.youtube.com/c/DrumangleOfficial/
