Expandable with Toontrack SDX / EZX expansions Superior Drummer 2 to EZdrummer 2 Crossgrade EZdrummer Pre-sales Posted at 03:57 1900304 Peter Bailey Participant I have Superior Drummer 2 and i have come to feel like the features of EZdrummer 2 are much more suited to the way i work. I use this product mainly for ambient and cinematic soundscapes but also for a number of jazz and rock based music pieces but the expansive set of drums covers such a vast range of musical genres and you probably will not use them all. The ease of use and the range and ability to mix drums within any kit is outstandingly useful and gives added flair and texture to your tracks and gives so many varying rhythm approaches that can be used. The array of midi clips available to build up your drum track is quite superb and most useful for putting together tracks quickly. This is a highlight feature in my opinion. There are so many truly brilliant aspects to this software and true to say, I have not found any bad points, as yet. I have a number of drum packages but this is now the one I am continually coming back to use. It is certainly a step up (again my opinion, and I've been using Toontrack drums since DKFH, so I may be biased) from most of the other drum tools.It has now become the shining light in my drum arsenal with little others coming close at this price.

If what you want is a really solid, really flexible set of drum sounds for rock/pop/metal, etc then SD2 will serve you very well. If the new content is of interest then I'd probably save my pennies. The library that is included sounds gorgeous, and adds a whole new palette of sounds.īut the real winners are the Decades expansion, which is becoming my first choice on a lot of things, and the orchestral library, which covers a lot of instruments really well. There are some nice new workflow features, but nothing I could not have lived without, I think? I did upgrade, and there is no audible difference for SD2 expansions. If you have no need for any of the SD3 only expansions then SD2 could be a good investment. My thoughts only - but SD2 ia a very capable drum tool, and the expansion packs range from really good to outstanding.
