- Drumkit from Hell 2 (basic version)
- Drumkit from Hell Superior
I think it runs on both PC and Mac as either a Vst or Dx ... take a look.

I use it with the MIDI (piano roll) as the trigger, but there are other ways to use it. BTW - You'll need 2GB minimum of ram to get a good sound out of them.
punkin said:2 Gig of RAM...really?! Is that a blanket requirement or is that something you found to work best with your PC configuration? Just currious...thanks.

David Katauskas said:Yes...they have different configurations that require a lot of ram. For example:
- Load the kick drum and pick your mallet
- Load your snare drum (top miced)
- Load your snare drum (bottom miced)
- Load the hi toms
- Load the low toms
- Load the cymbals
- Load the ambience mics
The newest patch on their download site now has a 'direct from disk' feature where it will load the beginning of the sample, and then load the rest when it gets used. This way, it won't load everything into memory...but if you want to load the ambient mics, then your looking at 750MB just for that. If you don't load the ambient mics, then you're using about 1.25GB.
However, they sound awesome so it's a non-issue for me.
