Toontrack

A professional sample engine for drums.

Toontrack Superior Drummer 2.0 "The New York Studio Legacy Series" is a complete overhaul of the original dfh Superior engine. The Toontrack team made painstakingly sure not to lose any of the sound quality, attention to detail, and musicality of their popular drum sampler.

Superior Drummer 2.0 has been redeveloped for optimized use with e-drums with more effective use of sample layers and much improved loading times. It includes custom MIDI played by Nir Z accessed through its new customized MIDI engine and arranger, EZplayer Pro, and has standalone capacity through Toontrack solo. Premium UK-based software developer Sonalksis has outfitted the Superior 2.0 with a 5-band EQ, high and low pass filter, compressor, gate, and transient designer filters.

The interface is reminiscent of EZdrummer with its simple handling and layout but gives the user layer upon layer of in-depth features to create the ultimate drum track.

Superior Drummer 2.0's samples were recorded by Pat Thrall, Neil Dorfsman, and Nir Z at Hit Factory, Avatar Studios, and Allaire studios, NY. The three have worked with artists as diverse as Meatloaf, Celine Dion, Nick Lachey, Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Dire Straits, Beyoncé, Björk, Kiss, Joss Stone, Genesis, John Mayer, and Chris Cornell.

Greatest drum sounds ever!

| Review By: Jamie Jameson | 4 months, 3 weeks ago

0 people out of 0 found this review helpful

Features:

I don't know how any drum software could do more than Superior Drummer.

Quality:

The sounds in Superior Drummer are absolutely top notch.  I've already used them in several pieces I've recorded and they're simply amazing.  I also dig the producer presets you can buy separately for only fifteen bucks!

Value:

While we all wish this stuff was cheaper, for what you get, the value is outstanding.

Overall:

I just love it!  I connected the software to my new Alesis DM10 controller, made some latency adjustements, and started recording right away.  The "learn" feature made midi mapping a snap.

Features:

You can do everything a real drummer can do with this once you learn the program.

Quality:

The sound is Great! You can adjust it to any style or sound your going for, the different mic setup helps alot. I record real drum sets and this fully compares to studio drum recordings.

Value:

Great deal!!!

Overall:

I believe this is needed in any home studio setup

Downloaded Superior Drummer with ease. Then tried to open it up in pro     tools.     First problem (which should of been a red flag) was that I     manually had to route the drum sample files into pro tools by making a     path from download's to etc etc.     This does not happen for everyone but I     guess is a commen problem for superior drummer.     Once I got it running     got some great drum sounds but then all of a sudden my pro tools started     bugging out.     Crashes, runtime errors, DAE issues, etc.     And I know it     is not my computer because it is a brand new quad core pc with 8 gb of     ddr3 ram.     Anyways Pro tools was virtually useless all of a sudden even     tho it has worked flawlessly for 4 months before superior drummer since I     got the new pc. Uninstalled pro tools once and re installed it.     Same problems.     Then uninstalled it again and uninstaled superior drummer.     Re installed pro tools and it runned perfectly.     For some reason it does not run well on my system for no apparent reason.     Not worth the money due to the hassel.     Love addictive drums and steven slate drums, im sticking with them.

Great Features and awesome customizable ability

Sound Samples are awesome if it is running smoothley

In my opinion not worth anything because it completely screwed with my Pro Tools 9 set up.

Overall:
I don't have a lot of patience or time to compose drum tracks from scratch on a piano roll view & I don't play drums so I was looking for a plug in with a large database of drum beats in many different styles to draw from when inspiration strikes. This software does deliver in quantity but lacks a bit in the quality department of some of the similar drum plug ins currently on the market. The factory presets sound a little artificial (very reminiscent of ez drummer) & require tweaking to bring them up to standard. There are plenty of tools to tweak with and achieve a polished quality product but if you're looking for quality out of the box you're better off with another drum plug in. I own all of the major drum plug ins from battery to ez drummer & yet time after time I keep coming back to addictive drums. This is just a personal preference but addictive drums deliver quality right out of the box plus allow for additional tweaking. The only downside is the small database of beats so you'll find yourself recycling the same beats at different tempos. Nonetheless, superior dummer is a pretty cool plug in especially if you're going to be using midi drums to trigger the sounds. For my purposes, I really wish I would've held out on this plug in but it may suit someone else's needs perfectly.

This software is so amazing. I am so inspired to create new material. The sounds are breathtaking alone. It hardly has any cpu usage on my computer and i run an iMac 2.66 Ghz with a Duo processor 6gb ram in cubase with at least 20 tracks. I thought for sure with superiors own mixer this would be cumbersome, but they proved me wrong. I love the flexibility in all of the samples. It is very easy to use and achieve a great sound. The first kit loaded is already panned and amazing dry. Once you start adding eq and some verb, wow you'll be hooked! I will never have a drummer again, at least for the studio... seriously. I recommend Metal Foundry, or any expansion!
