Dimension Pro - regarding drum samples

I was looking at NIs Battery 2 as I am in dire need for some good drums. Does Dim Pro come with a wide variety of drum samples? If not, is there anything other than Battery 2 you would recommend?

Have you guys checked out these SFZ kits yet?... http://www.smartloops.com/products/samplesets/

Thanks for that!!! They sound great!

I also noticed some MIDI loops here:

Will these MIDI loops work in Sonar?

Yep. All our Midi loops are compatible with Sonar, and all Cakewalk programs. You have several choices on how you want to use them in Sonar... Midi Groove Clips, Session Drummer, or your good old MID files.

Ok, Frank. I bought the MIDI loops. It is well worth the $20. I just feel like I'm cheating a little.......

I've been meaning to pick these up for forever! So they're good? Different styles have good feels? Are you GM'ing them, and if so throught waht - Dimension, Groove Module, something else?

I really appreciate any info.

I would not use them exclusively. I just can't make myself go that far I am running them through various Battery 2 Demo drum kits. I just bought the full version but haven't yet received it. For $20, I don't think you can go wrong, but I now realize that it does seem to duplicate many of the pattern brushes that Sonar already has. I might not have bought it if I would have known that before. I don't recall seeing a list of the patterns on their website.
