I selected: Metal, Studio Rock and Reel. I have a wide range of influences and wanted to get a good spread. I'll probably pick up more as time goes on. But for now, these are a good base.

I am thinking of buying addictive drums 2. Does it work on MC 2 and MC 5 and MC 6 ?

Is that you ranking the kits or...?

The list represents the number of times I have counted that each kit has been chosen in this thread. It is not 100% accurate.
 
I am trying to decide which ones to get myself. They are so expensive when you have to pay for them, I feel this is a big decision lol
 
Since I created the list for myself, I thought I would share it for fun.
 
I will update my post above to clarify.


A great place to get some good deals is at KVR (Markeplace). Generally, you can get items for 50% (or less) than the current prices.
Since you'll be buying from a forum member, it's always good to check out the comments in the Feedback thread and see what others have said about their experience (most are very positive).
 
I've got some fantastic gear/deals from KVR over the years and it's also a good place to sell your unused gear. I've seen AD2 deals in there quite often. Alchemy is a hot item right now....sonce Camel is closing shop.

So since learning I have to install all 3 at the same time, or wait further. Then that new kits won't be available for the bundle http://forum.cakewalk.com/The-up-and-down-side-of-the-XLN-redemption-codes-for-AD2-m3179686.aspx#3180094
 
I went for:
Session drums
Black Oyster
Funk (I didn't like the website demos so much, an 80s version of funk to my ears, and not a sound I dig that much, but then I went through the audio demos on AD2 and was swung)
 
I also have
Studio Trio
Fairfax pair
Brush and Dry
 
Pretty happy with that.
 
5 kit pieces still to add

I'll chime in with a plug for the Indie kit.  It really sounds fantastic with just a little tweaking.  I got Black Velvet too, but it is so polished and produced that I have a hard time using it and not sounding like I'm in a crappy modern rock band.

Black Velvet to me is the one kit that should never sound polished.
