Drum Software

I am a stand alone pianist/keyboardist, so I am looking for a really nice and expansive (not expensive necessarily) drum software. If I could get a consensus or opinion from someone who has tried a few, that would be great.

Also, I have a question regarding this software...

I am using HS2XL. When I install this drum software, are there any real limits to what I could do with the drums? What I mean is, is there a software out there that I can write a drum track inside the drum software, then import it into HS?

What is the main difference in using a Drum software and using the GM drums inside HS? I would hope sound quality would be one of those differences. Price really isn't really an issue, but if I could keep some more money in my wallet, then in someones cash register, that would be ideal.

Thanks in advance,

Don

    Drum kit from hell is pretty incredible and well worth looking at.

    I have DFH Superior coming in a few days and am looking forward to giving it a good try out. I second the NI Battery mention though. I'm using Battery 2 and it is far and away the quickest utility for drums -- creating voice groups is a snap (to choke hi hats and cymbals) and you can assign any pad to any out. What's nice about this? You can record the entire piece with a single MIDI and then assign pads to different outs (or subgroups) and mix that. I also have the Synthetic Drums 2 extension and am having a blast with that.

    If you want to spend just a little, and not make a career out of tweaking drum, EZDrummer is probably a good go for you.

    1973 "A" neck.

    I'd rather be playing Bass:
