Great time to Buy BFD2 or Upgrade to BFD2...Free BOMB!

If you been thinking of buying BFD2 or upgrading (as I did from ECO) to BFD2, now's the time.  Through August and September you'll get a free Big Orchestral Marching Band (BOMB) expansion pack when you do.  Check it out at:

I've got EZDrummer (all expansion packs), SD2 (most exp packs), Addictive, RMX, a slew of libraries that run under Kontakt (Steven Slate, etc...) and BFD ECO (with several expansion packs).  In short...more drums than you can "shake" a stick (or mallet, or brush) at.  And I just upgraded to BFD2 full.  While I have always loved the simplicity of EZD...I'm one lazy sum****...SD2 provides more power and control, which is what many folks want.  This is also the case with BFD2.  I think once I start really working with BFD I'm gonna love it.  I already like it's GUI and layout.  Seems very intuitive to use.  But for me, you cannot have too many drums and percussion instruments.  There are too many different styles and sounds in the music I produce to be handled by any one product alone.  I'll keep ya posted, ol pal.

Then I have a question for you Ol Pal. :) I mentioned that in another thread, I think the audio demos on Toontrack's website don't always do justice to their kits.


I was curious about their Retro Drums. Though they mention Bonham in the description, the actual demos sound much more dry and "Ringo-esque", so to speak. While I dig Ringo a whole lot, I'm usually more inclined towards huge drum sounds, and I didn't hear anything in the demos which let me believe that I could expect this type of sound from that expansion. 


I'm guessing that it'd pretty much be a matter of cranking the room mics channel and maybe adding something like Magnetic. Is that the case? - Last time, I opted for their Classic kit instead. Next one will probably be either the Nashville or the Retro.

The Nashville one does indeed seem good - from the demos, my favorite one. Much to my surprise, as I wouldn't typically think that I'm after anything usually associated w/ the Nashville sound. But admittedly, that's based upon an old stereotype. This things sounds versatile to say the least.

Thanks for the info! :)
