Now that the smoke has cleared-Which ADpacks did you get?

Fairfax 1 and 2 and Blue Velvet.  The others OK, but not nearly as good as these, in my opinion.

Jazz sticks, Studio Prog and Black Velvet.
 
So far I like the Jazz Sticks most - and not just for Jazz..

I now have everything but the Medal Paks

Wasn't that impressed with Fairfax 2, not sure why..

Now that I've upgraded to Platinum, I have to decide which ADpacks to get.  Rather than impulsively clicking on the ones that fit my style of music (since I already have more Rock patterns and kits than I know what to do with) I thought I'd take a deep breath and ask what others got.  Are there any standouts? If I had the time, I'd sift through all the demos, but I think I'll probably go for something like the Funk or Jazz types.  Writers Block and Punk might be worth a listen.  Just wondering what peoples experiences were. And I thought it would be neat to ask since I never started a new thread before;)

Subjective of course, but my inventory is Black Velvet, Vintage Dry, Studio Pop, Studio Rock, Studio Prog, Session Percussion, Fairfax Vol1, Fairfax Vol2. So far my favorite is Studio Prog. 
 
Superior Drummer used to be my favorite program (actually my son is my favorite, but since moving to Japan, he needs to get a "quiet" kit, read MIDI Pads), but I have switched to AD for many reasons including ease of use, set up, etc.

Jazz brushes, the percussion kit, and Fairfax 1

I went with Fairfax1, Indie & Studio Pop.  I'd have definitely preferred Vintage Dry over Studio Pop, but I wanted to be able to use it in AD2 with the midi packs.
 
 
 
 

 
Are the ADpacks tied in some way to the MIDI packs, or is it just how you saw fit to use them, as not to mix genres?  Now that I look back at the choices, I think I answered my own question:  I see the for some ie Jazz, there are corresponding kits and MIDI packs. I guess since I already have the percussion pack, I should get the MIDI pack then.  As usual, I'll probably end up figuring out a way to justify buying them all;)

My final answer is:
Kits: Fairfax1, Indie, Jazz Brushes
MIDI: 60's, Indie, Percussion.
 
I appreciate the info and advice- I definitely would have otherwise made choices I would have later regretted.
 

Fairfax Vol1, Fairfax Vol2 and Black Velvet.
I had already purchased Jazz Brushes, Jazz Sticks and Session Percussion.
I was really pleased with this bundle as I had always wanted a few extra kits and viola, there they were.
I would probably like the two Oyster kits as well and probably the Vintage one as well but I think I have enough to keep me busy for a while.
I like the idea of the midi packs as well, as I'm the kinda guy that starts with presets and alters them to suit rather than starting a pattern from scratch.

I have almost all of them now. I chose Fairfax Vol2, Retroplex and Blue Oyster. I chose the Blue Oyster over the Black Oyster because I have the Abbey Road drums.

Fairfax 1 and 2 and Indie!

Before AD2 came out, I picked up the Retro pack (which is now Blue Oyster, Black Oyster, and Retroplex) and Vintage Dry on sales.  I had just bought the upgrade (which upgrades the original content to Studio Pop/Rock/Prog and had a bonus pack of Black Velvet) and the Fairfax bundle before the new Sonar came out.
 
At this point I don't really feel the need for another drum pack.  I will probably get three of the following four:  Jazz Sticks, Jazz Drums, Session Percussion, Indie.  Although I like funk, the Funk drumset doesn't appeal to me that much.  Metal sounds like it would be good for mainstream rock as well, but I think I would be more likely to use Fairfax or Black Velvet.  I have enough drum machines, so Reel Machines doesn't call to me either.
 
Of the ones I have, the Fairfax drums are my favorites.  I haven't spent as much time with Black Velvet yet.  Behind that I like the Studio series, followed by Vintage Dry, then the Retro pack.  If I were to go for 60s drums, I would probably choose the NI Abbey Road 60s drums for Kontakt over Black Oyster.

  Although I like funk, the Funk drumset doesn't appeal to me that much. 

Me too, it seemed as though it's an 80's Jazz Funk type sound, rather than an old school sound that I prefer to listen too. fair enough though as they have plenty of kits covering the old school

Can you "leave one in the bank"? I couldn't complete the download until I checked off all three.

fairfax 1, 2 and reel machines for me, happy with all three :)

Hi-
 
I decided to go with:
 
Kits:
Modern Jazz Sticks
Modern Jazz Brushes
Session Percussion
 
MIDI:
Percussion Beats
Latin Afro
Jazz Brushes Grooves
 
Kit pieces:
Latino Bongos
Cajon
Djembe
 
So you'd think I do lots of Latin stuff, but it's really because I have tons of "standard" kits with Superior Drummer, etc. and "standard" MIDI grooves up the wazoo.  I'm looking forward to checking out the AD2 brushes, though.
 
[OT: BTW, I've played a bit with AD2's "Transform" feature, and IMO, it's very cool! A bit like Jamstix's "brain"-- less powerful, but also a lot simpler and with a more intuitive interface.]
