the dw trigger sample in metalheads ezx sounds really good. im thinking if using it to augment my MF mixes. and i hope the midi pack they release is the sequel to library of the extreme. skank beats ftw! speaking of which ive not posted in the demo’s section for a while…
On recent Steely Dan records he’s been the man and was massive on the recent Live tour.
I dig the really dry crisp sound for snare on those records from what i can tell its a 14×4 Yamaha Brass.
The whole kit is bright ,solid and sits up front in there mix.
Obviously Bernard Purdie would be another as would be S Gadd.
But Keith is the young gun doing it easy at the moment,hats off to him.
Id pay anything they want to have that recent Dan Studio Sound
Sonic Reality sampled Pearts kit and it’s released for their own Infinite player within Kontakt and also for BFD. I’ve written to Dave (head chef of SR) and he’s positive to release a third party version for SD also. As far as I understand the ball is in Toontracks court. If they were more prone to release third party libraries I think we could’ve seen a lot more from Platinum Samples and also from Sonic Reality. Evil Drums (the only third party SDX) is a beast in SD!
True indeed Rockdude. I just do not know…for me it seems Toontrack’s engine has isolated itself from competition… at the top… specially after releasing the 64 bit version. almost every crappy computer nowadays are operating with 64 bit os and have at least 4 GB RAM … the engine is super trusty… plays like no other with e-drums … and to make it worst through the videos I have seen so far they seem to really enjoy and have a ball doing their own sounds.
The combination of the Evil Drums SDX with Superior’s engine is perfect for me. It is the exact type of sound I appreciate. Would love to see at least kit packs from Platinum Samples.. imagine Steve Ferrone and Chad Smith’s kits in from the Superior format? I wish is for those to be coming next 🙂
I like what Sonic Reality is doing in terms of sampling.. it is a shame though how terrible it plays with e-drums.
I could not resist and got the Metal Heads pack…. and being palying with it this morning and man how good it sounds. I did the same thing as somebody already posted earlier… loaded the DW kit from Metal Fondry… and combined both raw sounds…. with the Metal heads… with the right balance it is great triggering and great sounding kit.
As stated earlier as well…. it seems by the teasers a drum kit pack for the Metal Fondry might be coming?

I wouldn’t say ‘isolated’ I’d say better.
I agree though, the problem is the alternative sound libraries generally aren’t recorded in a way that would translate to the Toon engine…… except the Platinum packs that is.

Ahh, my bad, it was a long post, i skimmed it pretty fast.
Id just like to add though, third parties should be glad toontrack offers them a chance to release on their engine, it is undoubtably the best engine going round, isolated….at the top Third parties should be begging to join the revolution.
So, Andy Sneap presets, eh? On the headphones I have available here, it sounded a bit cardboardish (and the sound of all example tracks very similar), but there is probably some good stuff there.
I sincerly hope there are some octoban and percussion coming!! I need to run a 2nd drum samplers just to add octobans to the kit and my CPU ain’t liking it (too many VSTs running already!!!).
