Drummix by Bluenoise plugins. It cannot be beaten for its price point. 


Unless they slipped something in on me while I wasn't paying attention, this was only 32bit when I bought it (many years ago). The developer said it was a big hassle to go 64bit because it was based on some framework that was 32bit only.
 
I did use the metal kit on one song. It worked out well (but that was when I was 32bit XP). Never tried the Rock kit as I now own nearly every drum product known to man.

I do wish that BandLab kept Session Drummer 3.  I don't like the old version that they kept...


What do you mean by that? Who kept what? You're saying BandLab didn't keep but then you're saying they kept "an old version" ???
 


The Drum kit I am talking about is the SI Drum Kit. I did forget about the Addictive Drums 2 Kit but I really did not care for that one too much. Although I might try it again, but I am still trying others out.


'Well, regardless you own an active license to AD2, for whatever it's worth to you.  And if you run the Sonar Pro installer, you should be able to select just the Session Drummer 3 plugin from the installer dialogue.

With Addictive Drums you need to pre view and choose a Kit ( add pack) that you like. There is nothing there until you do this. Which kit did you choose?  I use pieces from the 4 I grabbed, Fairfax, Studio Rock ,Modern Jazz and Session Percussion.  I just realized I got 4 add packs, not 3. One with Pro and 3 with Splat I guess. You also get some individual kit parts tossed in. I grabbed some cowbells :) 
 
SI drum kit is part of Cakewalk's Studio Instrument collection. It's better than the TTS-1 drums and with a little tweaking can get you by, but is miles below AD2.  
 
PS, Downloaded and installed the FREE MT Drum kit. Has one very impressive sound that is at least better then the SI drums. 
I like the GUI and having compression is a nice touch for a free kit. I think it will replace Session Drummer as a sample kit player just for those 2 improvements alone. I will send the people a tip to rid myself of the nag screen that's a real good way to offer freeware. . 
Thanks for the heads up, always like my freebies. I'll put it right there with the Ample Bass.

I think AD2 may be all you need for traditional recording studio drums.  But if you are into sampling ant triggering live with an MPC style setup, it may not be your thing.  But it is a virtual drum recording studio for the classic drum kit.  I can get lost in the drum kit sounds and patterns for hours, :)
