DKFH Superior -VS- BFD (help!)

[Myriad_Rocker]

Which one should I go for? I won't be using an electronic drum set. I'll be mapping out all of the hits myself. Does DKFH come with grooves like BFD does? Anyway...please help me decide. After all, I'm not really sure what I'm doing or reading when I research these.

I'm wanting to play anything from soft rock to metal. So, yeah...that's a pretty large gap. MOST of my stuff will be modern rock sounding though...Nickelback-ish except with more guitar rock type of sounds. A classic rock throwback if you will.

BFD is cool if you are gay, or not straight

get DFHS otherwise

DKFH Superior, definetly. It can be a pain to set up, but once it's set up it's worth it.

DFHS does not come with MIDI files. You can get some from www.mididrumfiles.com, or plenty of other places.

[Myriad_Rocker]

Can anyone tell me WHY? That's very important.

Also, I'm concerned about the stuff I have been reading on DFHS not working well with Sonar because of the VST aspect.

DFHS just sounds more like a real kit to me. It can eat up an awful lot of RAM if you start using the 'bleed' functions but it really does sound natural.

Recommended is 1.5 gigs.

That's a lot of something going on. I don't know about the CPU load.

The package is 85G!

[gumplunger]

DKFH takes up 35 gigs and I've never seen it use more than around 600 megs of my RAM. I recommended it because it sounds closer to the real thing than anything else I've heard.

The only problem I've had with it is sometimes it'll freeze up and you have to close the re-wire app and open it again.

[Myriad_Rocker]

Have you ever heard BFD, though? Or used it?

[gumplunger]

I've heard the demos of BFD and they really didn't compare to DKFH in my opinion.

Is that the new "Superior," though?

Odd. The site claims 85G of stuff. Is it just that most of it just fluff that doesn't get installed by the average user?

Nah, the site says 85,000 sound files and 35 gigs.

Concur with the rest. I heard both BFD and DKFH Superior. I bought DFKHS.
