I really like Battery 3. BUT, I just a couple days back took advantage of a GREAT deal that had been posted in the Deals forum, where by making a $25 donation to be split between 2 good music charities, I then was awarded a
free FOURTEEN GIGABYTES PERCUSSION LIBRARY FOR KONTAKT Please excuse the caps, yeah I was that excited.
This library is amazing, and has the most in-depth percussion sounds I have ever seen. Mallets, brushes, all kinds of different sized cymbals, flourishes, you name it, it's in there.
Here it is:
http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3130038 FABTABULOUS deal - by far the best $25 I have ever spent on anything related to music.
Please note that it does take up to about 24 hours for them to process it all and send you the download links. Also, there are instructions for the decompression and installation - FOLLOW THEM.
