Does anyone use the Zildjian Gen16 Cymbal Pack?

If so, any opinons?
 
Audiomidi currently has it on sale for $25.00.   And apparently it includes some version of BFD Eco.
 

Ha!   Yeah, that would be extremely inexpensive.   And pretty loud too.  
 

Whoa... 15GB just for cymbals? That's nuts. They must be good. lol... And what's this about BFD Eco being included? That sounds a little hinkey. Got a link, stevec?

If they're seriously giving away a copy of Eco at that price that's insane and unmissable.
I would buy the zildgen set were it not for the fact that they don't ship to the UK.
There's a few posts on the software forum about it and lots of people on the FX forum bought the Gen16 packs at full price saying they were well worth the money. 
At the moment fxpansion have a 30% off sale and they are $55 each and $125 for the Z pack
so it really is a no brainer.

I'm tempted. I mean I like cymbals and all but.....I don't have a problem with the ones that come with BFD2 although I would like a wider range I guess. 
I'll have another look

I've not had much of a chance to play with BFD Eco, since getting it last week, so before I go and get an more sample packs for it I should listen a bit more to the ones that I have. Tis difficult to ignore a cymbal pack though... having a set of more subtle tins to hit has to be a plus...

this is an interesting snippet:-

BFD Eco DV is almost identical to BFD Eco. It includes an additional all-cymbal mode, which re-purposes all 12 kit-piece slots as cymbal slots. It is switchable to drumkit mode, which operates in exactly the same way as BFD Eco. The BFD Eco manual is supplied, with a summary of differences included in the Z-Pack1 installation/quick-start guide.

hmm... Says it's a box (too big for download) and they don't ship internationally. I guess as a Canuckian I'm out of luck. :-(

@twaddle...I could load up both programs, but I was just thinking it would be impossible to share one midi drumkit track with two sample programs at the same time. Not sure if there is a way to do that...I'd love to get these cymbals for $25, but I want to keep using Superior. :-)

sure there is - just run both of them completely independently, strip out your cymbal hits from the SD Midi track & paste into the relevant keys in the BFD Midi track

The fact the BFD Eco DV can be configured so that all twelve slots are cymbals, this has to be a plus... Why bother bringing them into another drumming package? I'm now using Battery, Session Drummer and BFD Eco, and I can mix and match the best aspects from each :^) 

This pack of cymbals is also accessible through BFD2 and/or BFD Eco. Just put the install path in the config. No need to use BFD Eco DV unless you do want to use the cymbal packs along side of Battery, Session Drummer, Superior etc. (like synkrotron says).

Yeah, Rocky... me, too. Just pulled the trigger on the order.
Of course, I have wanted this pack since it was first introduced.

At least it's cheap G.A.S.

Living in CA, I have to pay tax. $31.18 for me.

A hearty THANKS to SteveC for tipping us to this incredible deal! (Addiction or not, I couldn't pass this up.)

I might have never known about this outrageous bargain if not for the timely post.
