I have K9U so I have more native instruments examples to do, but this is a good start. :)

And to answer the inevitable question: Yes I do indeed own most of this software (others were credited for the contribution if I didn't).
 
What the fucking fuck!?!?!?!?!

That's a whole lot of links! Cool post though. I despise fake drums, but kudos to you for your time and dedication. Someone will find this helpful.
 
To be honest I have been moving away from using them myself.

I actually posted this sucker a few years ago as I thought it would help people make their decision.

I still have some of the reverb impulse files you made a while back. I use them every now and then. Got any more?
 
Sadly no.

I honestly wish they were not such a PIA to make. I need a better setup to make them.

I hauled so much crap to make those things, you have to have the sine sweep fairly loud especially in larger rooms.

I know you can make them by using a simple wood clapper/popping a balloon/cap gun but I think the sine sweep does a better job.

I may try to do some throughout my house as that would be easy to do. I have vaulted cielings in my living room and the floor plan is open so that could be neat sounding (or terrible who knows).

But I need the house to myself when I go about doing that. :)
 
Well yeah let me clarify.

Many of the presets you see are sold by toontrack (for superior) so I did indeed do examples of them, with the exception of the one I did, ola englund and liquirworks. I only included them because I thought they sounded pretty good.

BUT there are kits above that are untouched such as the avatar kits and all the SDX expansions. EZ drummer didn't have presets at the time I posted this, which reminds me I need to add ez drummer 2's default kits.

All of the XLN audio samples are the raw kits.

All of the native instruments kits are raw as well.

Hopefully that helps.

Steven slate drums are not presets, those are the names of the kits as they load, the raw samples actually sound like that. You could mix and match though, say take the metallica (black) kick and combine it with the Pantera snare etc... but at that point you are talking endless examples just to show the point.
 
Anyhow if anyone wants my input my favorites are the fallowing:

1. Superior's default avatar kit (comes with superior drummer 2)
2. Music City SDX (an add on kit for superior)
3. Metal Machine EZX (it's an add on for ez drummer)
4. Nasheville EZX (it's an add on for ez drummer)
5. The default EZ drummer 2 modern library... they improved it a lot from the first one, which was horrible.
6. The Metal Foundry SDX (superior add on) for the overheads, the raw drums sound a solid meh.
 
Wow!! I have to copy this thread somewhere and make it a stickie. Good job for doing this. Thanks so much!!

Love the toms on the Gretsch kit.
