Great sale, but bought all that years ago. Still awesome and money well spent IMO

How does this compare to Superior Drummer?

Different animals. Superior Drummer gives you deeper and finer control over how the drums sound, for more realistic results. Jamstix's unique talent is generating drum patterns of its own, sort of an intelligent drum machine. If you had both, you could let Jamstix generate MIDI sequences that Superior could then play back.
 
Jamstix also works as a straight-up drum sampler, ignoring its robot-sideman capabilities. At the sale price, you could just think of Jamstix as an expansion library for an alternate set of sounds. I've used Jamstix, Superior Drummer and Kontakt all in the same song, in order to have a broader tonal palette to choose from.

Thanks Bit, you always explain things very well and easy to understand. This looks and sounds really good. Any suggestions on which package for a beginner to get?

Bapu says "get it all". At these prices, it's a schweeeeet deal.

I'm still waiting for the adoption paperwork to go through....dear ol' DAD!!!
 
 

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, my most-used expansion pack is the Jamcussion percussion library. Multiple tambourine and shaker types, close and far miked, plus the usual suspects: congas, bongos, cowbells (3 kinds), woodblocks, triangles, and a few exotic world instruments.
 
I had to look and see which other kits I had, since I've not used them in a while. I've got stuff in there I've never used, like the electronic kit. Brush kit, yeh, that's one I've used. And the BonzoPak.

And the BonzoPak.

Who among us Jamstix users has NOT used the BonzoPak?

I don't use any of the bundled sounds in Jamstix, so far I've used it to drive Addictive Drums and Battery. I've even gotten it to churn out electro style beats, although I've found the best way to do this is to create your own basic MIDI patten and load it into Jamstix as a style. Jamstix will then work it's magic based on your pattern. It really is amazing.

However now that I have Jamcussion I think I'll find myself making use of the bundled percussion sounds.

I gave it another listen and I'm going with Bapu's advice......"get it all" Studio.
