I would hesitate to criticise the recording techniques of a George Massenburg.... The kits will sound great.
Maybe I missed the spot in the videos where you could clearly hear the drums.
I think I listened to the first video all the way through, skipped though a lot of the 2nd.
There's actually very little drums in either video.
I have a lot of respect for George Massenburg, just don't know if this is his finest work.
Recording & producing a sample library isn't the same skill set as producing an artist or album.
As for included SD3 content - for the moment I'm reserving final judgement until they post SD3 sound samples.
I've been disappointed too many times in the past by big hoopla, low content advertising campaigns to get excited.
BTW I'm not dissing SD3 - it looks like it has a lot of fine features. Even if it turns out that I dislike the included audio content I might at some point pick it up if the price point is right.
