the electronic ezx is just incredible if mixed way back with superior 2.2.  I mean I think it's awesome and not just a bunch of weirdo, beatbox sounds....  which it is if you play it by itself.

Here are some samples at Soundclick, to describe what I'm talking about...  EZX electronic with Superior 2.2 (custom user kit)

craig - do you have superior drummer?  if not then you don't want to buy the SDX expansions at all because they won't work in the EZ Drummer program.

however, superior drummer is certainly worth buying if you don't have it.  you have much more control over the sounds of the samples and can get them to sound better than the already processed EZ drummer samples.

Thanks Beagle - yes, I have both Superior and EZ. And that's what I'm probably not doing a good job conveying. I have already bought 3 expansions for EZ drummer (jazz, nashville, vintage). My question is whether it is worth *also* owning the SDX expansions with similar names. Are the drum samples in Music City SDX the same as those in Nashville EX, etc? If buying Music City simply meant I had more control over the bleed of sounds I already own, for instance, I don't do enough tweaking in SDX to make it a good investment. If it's a whole new soundset too, I'm more interested!

Music City is from the same session as Nashville, however the samples are not necessarily the same.  They all had to be gone through and checked for all the little things that slip into the recording so they have to be different to some extent.  That said, there are drums common to both collections but IIRC there are a few extra instruments (drum choices - check the product pages to verify this) as well as different grooves in the SDX.  The presets are radically different.
