Its a great product for someone who writes music and wants to lay down a demo
Sound
Drum samples sound great for rock or hardcore style music. Great for someone who likes heavy music but hates clicky bass drum sounds
Features
Includes a lot of great drum samples and a few different sounds for each drum.
would be better if it included a china and more cymbal options would be nice. You can only have 3 cymbals at a time
Ease of Use
Once you figure out how to open it in your DAW its very easy to use
Quality
It comes in a box and it cant really be taken on the road so quality is pretty good.
Drum sample Quality is great
Value
Its great for the amount of money you spend. could use more sounds though

"Solid product, probably worth the low price - look for the next generation, though. ('superior drummer' or something)"

Good for what it is - but it doesn't inspire quite the way some virtual instruments have for me.
Sound
I could listen to the snare for hours. It doesn't compare to BFD, but neither does the price. It fits well in the mix pretty well without much trouble
Features
The MIDI patterns are nice, mostly, but it can be hard to get variety (or find variety; see below)
Ease of Use
They claim the interface is the best - but who cares about the picture of a drumset? I would have rather had an interface that made it easy to find new MIDI patterns so I'm not searching in the dark for a loop.
Quality
It takes a while to load the samples compared to other samplers I have; I don't really know why.
Value
It is a low priced drum program with solid MIDI patterns and a good sound. Steinberg Virtual Drummer and BFD are better, probably, but also more $.

Sounds good much better than my last drum plug ins, if you're recording to a beat thatjust needs to sound real its great but if you want a little more eexpression and dynamics you gotta do a lot of tweaking velocities or have light figures on a responsive midi controller. I plan to buy a few expansion packs as well. Great program for the price!

"GIves you great "raw" drum sounds to add to your music "
Verified Customer

I produce my own music out of my bedroom. plain and simple, this program allows you (using their EZX addons and EQ) to get pretty much whatever sound you are looking for. i use drum pads to beat out the drum patterns so i get more of a human feel, i do not quanitze or adjust velocity any further than that. people complain about being able to hear these drums in all of mainstream music, or in the case of the metal expansions, it seems "everyone" uses them on the internet. that may be the case, but those people are just using the raw drums sounds and them focusing on guitar and vocals. if you treat this as if it was an actal drummer, and dial in your own tone and EQ, you can make them sound GREAT.

i'll use this 'til something better comes along.
Sound
the sound is great. sounds like a real rock drum kit. i may get the metal expansion somewhere down the line.
Features
nothin too special, it has about 4 different sounding drums. i use the korg nanoPAD with it, but it's not too responsive. i'm not sure if it's the equipment or the sofware.
Ease of Use
definately takes some getting used to if you're starting out just like me.
Quality
the only things you have to worry about is having the right setup for your computer, or if your computer crashes
Value
it's worth it. just use something else besides a korg nanoPAD to make your own beats (like a MIDI keyboard)
Manufacturer Support
didn't have to use it. the online manuel is well made and you can understand it a lot better than most.
The Wow Factor
i got this because it was on sale and i read positive reviews. get this and an expansion pack and you'll be set.
