That’s what Superior Drummer 3 allows.

Unfortunately you need SD3 and then have to separately purchase the Hitmaker SDX – works similarly to EZD3 which you need to purchase and then purchase separately any EZX’s for additional libraries. SD3 is a big investment that you may not need. For me as an e-drummer, the flexibility  in SD3 to control all drum sound parameters as well as adding additional instruments/mixer channels and routing to buses is awesome – if you look at my avatar you can see how many different triggers/instruments I can run in SD3. Check out SD3 thoroughly to make sure it is what you need.

There is a gated kit in SDX Hitmaker (see screenshot) which is on the money for what you are after. I have had success with both Gretsch and Premier kit versions of this. However I don’t think there is an EZX version of this one and certainly no EZX’s with Hugh Padgham as the Engineer that I can see. Not sure if this helps but certainly agree that an EZX similar to this would be very much appreciated by the drumming community (who don’t have SD3 or Hitmaker SDX).

Hi John,

I have a similar issue were I purchased Area 33 Origin on 19 Dec to take advantage of the discount. It has been “on hold” ever since and I sent a request to product support (including the order details) but have not received a response. I note it has now disappeared from “PENDING” section on my credit card so it looks like there is a problem. I still want to go ahead with the discounted purchase so I will send another request to product support but just wanted to let you know there is definitely an issue going on. cheers, Andrew

Just an update.

I have been using the Linsoul Timeless 7Hz  IEM’s for 18 mths and they haven’t missed a beat. A slight dial up with EQ in my mixer and they are so close to HD650’s that I use them all the time now with SD3 standalone and also with by DAW (Cubase). Bass response is awesome – as is the treble for cymbals etc. Almost unbelievable for the price.

I don’t do any metal either and D&D is one of my favourite SDX’s. It is so much more than just a metal library. I wouldn’t knock it back thinking it is metal only.

Search on the forum and you will see many (experience) non-metal users praising the diversity of this expansion. cheers, Andrew

Thanks John – I think I understand.

On a side note do you think Toontrack will ever look at the graphical representation of EZD3 and EZX drum pieces in SD3 or are the generic black toms and silver snares here to stay. It is a bit of a pain as I lose that quick visual reference to know I’ve got the correct kit loaded – especially in live e-kit situations. I often use EZD3 and EZX kit pieces in SD3 for certain musical situations. I often use the “Kicks & Snare” EZX and not being able to “see” the snare or kick to know I’ve got the correct one is a bit frustrating – again especially in live situations. cheers, Andrew

Thanks John. Understand that I can load into either racktom or floortom slots but I’ve shown another screenshot below where I have added it into a racktom position and no graphics showing (not that graphics important to sound) – the lack of a racktom graphic doesnt look good ! cheers Andrew
