drumkit from hell superior

[dogbiscuit]

I have been recording with the cubase drums LM9 and IM7. However I recently heard some stuff done using hell superior and it sounds great. I'm now thinking of getting DFHS but it's damned expensive. What's people's take on this?

The drums sound anywhere from good to great, but they're HUGE files. You need a powerful computer with a gig of ram to run DKFH to the fullest.

Using it, loving it. Closest to real drums I have found. It's a pig on memory and CPU resources but the kind of pig you like to have around.

Yes I've recently just found how large DFH is memory wise and don't think my PC would cope with it. Bummer! Why do they have to make it so big? Does anyone know of any cheaper, smaller alternatives which still sound good?

Any drum sound program will sound good, but DFH have multiple samples of every drum at multiple velocity levels --- huge files are DKF's secret weapon and NI are betting that user who want HUGE drum sounds won't mind forking out for more ram or even a new computer...

Check this nifty lil' gizmo. It does all synthetic drums and is designed and marketed by the same guy who designed one of the synths for Reason.

Cheers scientist. I might give that a go. I'm also trying out drumagog which someone metioned. I'll report back to say how I get on.
