I bought it with the Aeon bundle during a special sale.
I don't know that it is worth $299 if you have a bunch of other drum plugins BUT it is really well designed and sounds and works great.
Heavyocity just put out legacy packs so you can use damage samples in DM-307. small thing but it's an added bonus.

Heavyocity's stuff is great.
DM-307 includes an old-style beat machine w/ a couple of thousand sounds you can load in, twist and edit the sounds as you want and play one of the hundreds of prefab beats, or just make your own a lá Sonar's matrix or drum machine/Fruity Loop buttons.
Or play one of their hundreds of loops that are spread across the keyboard like a rex file. Or play a collection of loops that are broken out across the keyboard - 48 loops wide. Stutter them. Oh, and there are "expression" keys that twist the loops as you play. Or do it manually just like a synth.
It is a superb instrument, like their other series. And since it uses Kontakt, you have that to work on the basic sounds, too.
It only sounds like everyone else if everyone else is a pro doing major movies and TV. Heavyocity is all over many of those, esp. the darker ones. If you like those kind of cinematic sounds, it will do them out of the box and your creativity is the only limiting factor for variation.
Great tool. Whether it is worth the money is a personal decision. You can always wait - I got the Mutation series for less than a $100 a couple of Christmases ago. And have used it 100s of times for basic rhythms or sonic spice.

I agree, AT... HoC is awesome and I own all their stuff... was going to skip the DM but got a great deal on a sale price they offered and played some of the samples for my daughter and she demanded I get it... oh, I'm weak and it was one of those moments... the song I'd been working on I started with AD but once I fired up the DM it was no competition. I am really impressed... very different than Damage but sounds, riffs, fills, etc are top notch...
Machine Claw... is this free? I had written them saying I would only buy if I could use all the other HOC samples within the box... glad to see they're opening up damage to it... I gots me damage!

Thanks. Claw! I've been on overload... just an engine change, which is great... no need to duplicate samples...
